Hi,
I have the following query that I'm using to extract some demo report data.
SELECT
HOURS.EMPID,
HOURS.WORKDATE,
HOURS.MINS,
CODES.CORRCODEID,
CODES.CORRCODE,
CODES.NAME AS [CORRCODE NAME],
CODES.CWTYPE,
DEFAULT_STORE.[STORE NAME] AS [DEFAULT STORE NAME],
DEFAULT_STORE.[STORE ID] AS [DEFAULT STORE ID],
DEFAULT_STORE.[STORE SQUARE FOOTAGE] AS [DEFAULT STORE SQUARE FOOTAGE],
ACTUAL_STORE.[STORE NAME] AS [ACTUAL STORE NAME],
ACTUAL_STORE.[STORE ID] AS [ACTUAL STORE ID],
ACTUAL_STORE.[STORE SQUARE FOOTAGE] AS [ACTUAL STORE SQUARE FOOTAGE],
WORKED_DEPT_REC.PARENTID [WORKED_DEPT_PARENTID],
WORKED_DEPT_REC.NAME [WORKED_DEPT_NAME],
WORKED_DEPT_REC.COSTCENTRE [WORKED_DEPT_COSTCENTRE],
WORKED_DEPT_REC.DEPTID [WORKED_DEPT_DEPTID],
DEFAULT_DEPT_REC.PARENTID [DEFAULT_DEPT_PARENTID],
DEFAULT_DEPT_REC.NAME [DEFAULTDEPT_DEPT_NAME],
DEFAULT_DEPT_REC.COSTCENTRE [DEFAULT_DEPT_COSTCENTRE],
DEFAULT_DEPT_REC.DEPTID [DEFAULT_DEPT_DEPTID],
DEFAULT_SHIFT.SHIFTID [DEFAULT_SHIFT_SHIFTID],
DEFAULT_SHIFT.TARGET [DEFAULT_SHIFT_TARGET_MINS],
DEFAULT_SHIFT.NAME [DEFAULT_SHIFT_NAME],
ACTUAL_SHIFT.SHIFTID [ACTUAL_SHIFT_SHIFTID],
ACTUAL_SHIFT.TARGET [ACTUAL_SHIFT_TARGET_MINS],
ACTUAL_SHIFT.NAME [ACTUAL_SHIFT_NAME]
--INTO

INNER JOIN

HOURS.CORRCODE = CODES.CORRCODEID

-- GET THE WORKED DEPT RECORD FROM COMPANY STRUCTURE TABLE
LEFT OUTER JOIN
COMPSTRU WORKED_DEPT_REC

WORKED_DEPT_REC.DEPTID = ISNULL(HOURS.DEPTID, E.DEPTID)
-- GET THE DEFAULT DEPT ID FROM THE EMPLOYEE HISTORY

DEFAULT_DEPT.FINDEX = '-z' AND
DEFAULT_DEPT.EMPID = HOURS.EMPID AND

LEFT OUTER JOIN
SHIFTS DEFAULT_SHIFT

DEFAULT_SHIFT.SHIFTID = RD.SHIFTID
-- GET THE ACTUAL SHIFT RECORD FROM BASIC
LEFT OUTER JOIN

ON
B.WORKDATE = HOURS.WORKDATE AND
B.EMPID = HOURS.EMPID AND
B.SUBALLOC = '0'
LEFT OUTER JOIN
SHIFTS ACTUAL_SHIFT
ON
ACTUAL_SHIFT.SHIFTID = ISNULL(B.SHIFTID, RD.SHIFTID)
LEFT OUTER JOIN
(
SELECT
STORE.NAME [STORE NAME],
STORE.DEPTID [STORE ID],
STORE.OTHER [STORE SQUARE FOOTAGE],
DEPTS.DEPTID
FROM
COMPSTRU STORE
OUTER APPLY
dbo.Tesco_udf_Dept_Tree(STORE.DEPTID,1) AS DEPTS
WHERE
STORE.PARENTID = '!#'
) DEFAULT_STORE
ON
DEFAULT_DEPT_REC.DEPTID = DEFAULT_STORE.DEPTID
LEFT OUTER JOIN
(
SELECT
STORE.NAME [STORE NAME],
STORE.DEPTID [STORE ID],
STORE.OTHER [STORE SQUARE FOOTAGE],
DEPTS.DEPTID
FROM
COMPSTRU STORE
OUTER APPLY
dbo.Tesco_udf_Dept_Tree(STORE.DEPTID,1) AS DEPTS
WHERE
STORE.PARENTID = '!#'
) ACTUAL_STORE
ON
WORKED_DEPT_REC.DEPTID = ACTUAL_STORE.DEPTID
It runs quickly enough for my needs. It's just that when I add the following where clause:
(WHERE DEFAULT_STORE.[STORE ID] <> ACTUAL_STORE.[STORE ID])
the query ends up going from taking 18 seconds to run to failing after an hour with the tempdb expanding to 50GB and running out of disk space.
Can someone enlighten me as to why the where clause has such an effect as I'm only filtering on columns already included in the query without the where clause? Also, the actual execution plan changes significantly with the addition of the WHERE.
Thanks
Mick

It is called SARGability. When you add that where clause it causes a full scan. It has to evaluate every single row to determine if it belongs in the result set.
You could try splitting this logic into two pieces.
WHERE DEFAULT_STORE.[STORE ID] > ACTUAL_STORE.[STORE ID]
OR
DEFAULT_STORE.[STORE ID] < ACTUAL_STORE.[STORE ID]
Do a quick google search on SARGability and you will find lots of articles discussing what is happening with your query. Makes sense once you understand it.
