How many of the 10 million rows has the value of 'saby123'?

I did a similar thing on a million row test table with a clustered index on the ID column like your table... it returned all 18 rows in 27 milli-seconds.

...and, with NO indexes whatsoever on the table, it only took 289 milli-seconds...

Are you sure that the "table" you're looking at isn't a view? And, again, how many rows are your returning? When were statistics last updated?

My point was to take away the "IN" clause and use a join or like some one else pointed out use "exists".

Have seen similar problems with customers running largish databases, with a fair amount of change during the day. Usually down to statistics not being updated regularly enough. Suggest you put in a maintenance plan to update statistics every night.

i m having a job which runs every week and it updates the statics...

........ but still no improvement has been made.

samsql Hall of Fame Points: 3044 More actions · Answer 9

i hav used exists but there is no use same result...

...... shud i do 1 thing to check the appication.... some one might changed the coding as it run through java....

Maintenance plan??

You can do that with a scheduled job easily enough.

Maruf, several people, including me, have suggested you update your statistics and then run the query again. You haven't mentioned it, so have you done this? Did it make any difference?

Stats should be updated nightly, indexes rebuilt weekly (create a job that only updates stats that are above an arbitrary threshold, say, 75%).

Can you try and update the stats on that table alone, then run the query immediately?

Is there a lot of I/O on that table?

Is it partitioned? Is it, as someone earlier suggested, an indexed view?

Another thought - someone hasn't found the "forceplan" option have they?

I think that you are spot on to go check the application - or use profiler to drag out exactly the code that is being called

>>My point was to take away the "IN" clause and use a join or like some one else pointed out use "exists".

I hate to be a "me too" kinda person, but I wanted to emphasize that an "EXISTS" solution doesn't always perform better than a "JOIN" solution, though I've read a lot recently that suggest that's true. Just last week I rewrote an "IN" clause as an "EXISTS" and a "JOIN" - the "JOIN" beat the "EXISTS" by a substantial margin.

The moral of the story? Test, test test!

1) If you get the time, any chance you can post the 3 queries (IN, EXISTS and JOIN)? Please give row counts for each involved table and relevant indexes too if possible.

2) You didn't mention how the EXISTS compared to the IN performance wise.
