  • Do you really need all those DISTINCT statements? Shouldn't the one that fills the temporary tables do the job for the ones that follow? Each of those requires aggregation. Also, DISTINCT combined with UNION means that you're asking the optimizer to do two sets of aggregations. UNION itself is a distinct operation.

    Overall though, you need to pull the execution plans for this to understand where the slow points are. All the NOLOCK statements are pretty horrifying, just saying. You could make that much easier by setting the connection to READ_UNCOMMITTED. Then, when you find out that NOLOCK is causing data problems (because it does), you have a single point to fix.

    I see a lot of IN statements with sub-SELECTS. These are frequently more efficient as JOIN operations, even if they're still sub-SELECTS.

    Post the actual execution plans if you can. If not, the estimated plans will do.

    One thing you could do is focus down on which specific query is causing the most pain. Capture the individual statements using Extended Events. Then you can see where the most pain is coming from.

  • I don't like these massive procs with code branches.  I would create a separate proc for each bucket.  Then in this proc, EXEC the relevant new proc within each IF statement.

    I would also order the IF statements in the most common use, and RETURN as soon as each proc has been executed.  This would reduce the number of IF statements that SQL needs to evaluate each time.

    First prize, would be to have the caller call the correct proc, rather than the one to rule them all.

  • So many things in here are just downright horrifying. Not just for performance but maintainability. There is a LOT of code that makes this far more complicated than it needs to be.

    Here is one such piece that has me scratching my head.

    (CASE WHEN t .status_id NOT IN (SELECT status_id FROM firm_return with(nolock) WHERE enabled = 'D' and firm_id=t.firm_id) THEN (cl.category_code + '-' + s.status_name) ELSE cl.category_code + '-' + s.status_name END) AS status_type

    What is the point of this case expression? You return the same value in both branches. Why bother with all this craziness? Simply make be "cl.category_code + '-' + s.status_name AS status_type"

    All those cross joins later turned into an inner joins are just painful. You should use inner joins and avoid writing dozens of lines of extra code.

    You are inconsistent with the horrible NOLOCK hint. Sometimes you use the correct syntax "with (nolock)", other times you omit the "with" keyword". Leaving it out has been deprecated. But even better would be to remove it entirely as that hint is dreadful and far more sinister than you think.

    You have distinct AND group by on the same query. The department of redundancy department wants you to pick one of the other way of getting distinct rows.

    To be honest this query doesn't need to be tuned, it needs to be redesigned from the beginning. It would take days to unravel this into something fast where starting over would be much faster to a solution. Not trying to bust your chops here, just trying to be realistic that there is a LOT of stuff here that needs to be addressed before you have a chance at making this perform well.

  • Ain't gonna lie, I'm shocked as heck that the optimizer didn't timeout on this query.

    The good news, lots of index seeks. The bad news, scattered all over the place, all the different aggregations you're running. DISTINCT all over the map as shown in multiple different Sort operators to get distinct values. That's probably where your CPU usage is coming from. Sean and Des have suggestions worth following. I'd also look to eliminate all that DISTINCT stuff. It's killing you, for certain. Also, all the IN clauses may work better as JOINs.

  • Thanks bunch for all the inputs. Have incorporated many of them still tweaking it

  • You should review the logic for @bucketID's 9 through 12.  The logic appears to be the same for each one - with minor differences.  You should be able to reduce that to a single query and parameterize the differences.

    For example - you can parameterize the status_name using a case expression checking for the bucket ID to determine what value to return.  You can also parameterize ft.category_id based on the bucket ID...

    You also don't need the sub-query to get the count...you should be able to adjust the group by to remove the firm_id and originating_location (they are not included in the select - so should not be included in the group by) - which will then allow you to remove the distinct(status_id).

    If you parameterize the status code/name - you can then use that in the select and group by:

    Declare @statusCode char(3) = Case @bucketID
    When 9 Then 'TX-'
    When 10 Then 'FS-'
    When 11 Then 'BK-'
    When 12 Then 'OT-'
    End;

    Select ...
    , status_type = concat(@statusCode, s.status_name)
    ...
    Group By
    s.status_id
    , concat(@statusCode, s.status_name)
    ...

    I have not looked at the other queries - but I am sure there are opportunities to combine those in similar ways.

  • Thanks I thought of that. But there are few more differences in where so let it go.

    I don't see those 'few more differences' in the code...the following could replace the last 4 statements:

         If @bucketID In (9, 10, 11, 12)
    Begin

    Declare @categoryID int = @bucketID - 8
    Declare @statusCode char(3) = choose(@categoryID, 'TX-', 'FS-', 'BK-', 'OT-');

    Select t.status_id)
    , status_type = concat(@statusCode, s.status_name)
    , t.firm_id
    , task_count = count(*)
    From task_master t With(nolock)
    Inner Join firm_return s With(nolock) On s.firm_id = t.firm_id
    And s.status_id = t.status_id
    Inner Join firm_task ft With(nolock) On ft.firm_id = t.firm_id
    And ft.tasktype_id = t.tasktype_id
    Where t.firm_id = @firm_id
    And s.assign_rule_general <> 'P'
    And ft.category_id = @categoryID
    And t.orignating_location = @current_location
    And t.status_id Not In (1, 23, 53, 35, 33, 27, 12, 70)
    Group By
    t.status_id
    , concat(@statusCode, s.status_name);

    End

    You should not add grouping that isn't necessary - there are several where you have included columns/expressions in the group by that are not returned in the select.  You are filtering by firm_id and originating_location - and grouping by those which is not necessary because you will only have a single value.  These don't need to be included in the select because you already know the values that will be returned.

    In many of the queries - you are getting a count from a sub-query that is correlated to the same set of tables in the from...and then you group by in the outer query without any aggregates.  That is not necessary either...it can be done in the outer query and no need to use a sub-query to get the counts.

    First step is to rewrite the queries using INNER/OUTER/CROSS JOIN syntax instead of using a comma - reformat the code you can read it - then simplify the query by removing unnecessary grouping, unnecessary sub-queries - and then parameterize what you can to reduce the actual number of queries (like above).
