About Joe • SQL Server consultant since 1999 • Query Optimizer execution plan cost formulas (2002) • True cost structure of SQL plan operations (2003?) • Database with distribution statistics only, no data 2004 • Decoding statblob/stats_stream • writing your own statistics • Disk IO cost structure • Tools for system monitoring, execution plan analysis See http://www.qdpma.com/ Download: http://www.qdpma.com/ExecStatsZip.html Blog: http://sqlblog.com/blogs/joe_chang/default.aspx
Overview • General SQL Server Performance • Why performance is still important today? • Brute force? • Yes, but … • Special Topics – spectacular fails • Automating data collections • SQL Server Engine • What developers/DBA need to know?
Not in this session • List of rules to be followed blindly • without consideration for the underlying reason • and whether rule actually applies in the current circumstance DBA skill: cause and effect analysis & assessment
Common Themes? • execution plan • Very large (multiple order of magnitude) error in row estimate • Single (execute) of large operation • Might still be tolerable • Multiple (executes) of large operations

Special Topics • Data type mismatch • Multiple Optional Search Arguments (SARG) • Function on SARG • Parameter Sniffing versus Variables • Statistics related (big topic) • OR, AND/OR combinations IN/NOT IN, EXISTS • Complex Query with sub-expressions • Parallel Execution Not in order of priority http://blogs.msdn.com/b/sqlcat/archive/2013/09/09/when-to-break-down-complex-queries.aspx
1a. Data type mismatch DECLARE@namenvarchar(25) = N'Customer#000002760' SELECT * FROM CUSTOMER WHERE C_NAME = @name Table column is varchar Parameter/variable is nvarchar SELECT* FROM CUSTOMER WHERE C_NAME = CONVERT(varchar, @name) .NET auto-parameter discovery? Unable to use index seek
1b. Type Mismatch – Row Estimate SELECT* FROM CUSTOMER WHERE C_NAME LIKE'Customer#00000276%' SELECT* FROM CUSTOMER WHERE C_NAME LIKEN’Customer#00000276%' Row estimate error could have severe consequences in a complex query
SELECT TOP + Row Estimate Error SELECT TOP 1000[Document].[ArtifactID]FROM[Document](NOLOCK)WHERE[Document].[AccessControlListID_D]IN(1,1000064,1000269)AND EXISTS (SELECT[DocumentBatch].[BatchArtifactID]FROM[DocumentBatch](NOLOCK)INNER JOIN[Batch](NOLOCK)ON[Batch].ArtifactID=[DocumentBatch].[BatchArtifactID]WHERE [DocumentBatch].[DocumentArtifactID]=[Document].[ArtifactID]AND[Batch].[Name]LIKEN'%Value%')ORDER BY[Document].[ArtifactID] Data type mismatch – results in estimate rows high Top clause – easy to find first 1000 rows In fact, there are few rows that match SARG Wrong plan for evaluating large number of rows http://www.qdpma.com/CBO/Relativity.html
2. Multiple Optional SARG DECLARE@Orderkeyint, @Partkeyint = 1 SELECT* FROMLINEITEM WHERE (@Orderkey IS NULL OR L_ORDERKEY = @Orderkey) AND (@PartkeyIS NULL OR L_PARTKEY = @Partkey) AND (@Partkey IS NOT NULL OR @Orderkey IS NOT NULL)
IF block DECLARE@Orderkeyint, @Partkeyint = 1 IF (@OrderkeyISNOTNULL) SELECT* FROMLINEITEM WHERE (L_ORDERKEY = @Orderkey) AND(@PartkeyIS NULL OR L_PARTKEY = @Partkey) ELSE IF (@PartkeyISNOTNULL) SELECT * FROM LINEITEM WHERE(L_PARTKEY = @Partkey) These are actually the stored procedure parameters Need to consider impact of Parameter Sniffing, Consider the OPTIMIZER FOR hint
Dynamically Built Parameterized SQL DECLARE@Orderkeyint,@Partkeyint=1 ,@SQLnvarchar(500),@Paramnvarchar(100) SELECT@SQL= N‘/* Comment */ SELECT * FROM LINEITEM WHERE 1=1‘ ,@Param=N'@Orderkey int, @Partkey int' IF (@OrderkeyISNOTNULL) SELECT@SQL=@SQL+N' AND L_ORDERKEY = @Orderkey' IF (@PartkeyISNOTNULL) SELECT@SQL=@SQL+N' AND L_PARTKEY = @Partkey' PRINT@SQL execsp_executesql@SQL,@Param,@Orderkey,@Partkey IF block is easier for few options Dynamically built parameterized SQL better for many options Consider /*comment*/ to help identify source of SQL
2b. Function on column SARG SELECTCOUNT(*), SUM(L_EXTENDEDPRICE) FROM LINEITEM WHEREYEAR(L_SHIPDATE) = 1995 ANDMONTH(L_SHIPDATE) = 1 SELECTCOUNT(*), SUM(L_EXTENDEDPRICE) FROM LINEITEM WHEREL_SHIPDATE BETWEEN'1995-01-01'AND'1995-01-31' DECLARE@Startdate date, @Daysint = 1 SELECTCOUNT(*), SUM(L_EXTENDEDPRICE) FROMLINEITEM WHEREL_SHIPDATE BETWEEN@Startdate ANDDATEADD(dd,1,@Startdate)
Estimated versus Actual Plan - rows Estimated Plan – 1 row??? Actual Plan – actual rows 77,356
3 Parameter Sniffing -- first call, procedure compiles with these parameters execp_Report @startdate = '2011-01-01', @enddate = '2011-12-31' -- subsequent calls, procedure executes with original plan execp_Report @startdate = '2012-01-01', @enddate = '2012-01-07' Assuming date data type Need different execution plans for narrow and wide range Options: 1) OPTIMIZE FOR – one plan for all ranges 2) WITH RECOMPILE – compile on each execute 3) main procedure calls 1 of 2 identical sub-procedures One sub-procedure is only called for narrow range Other called for wide range Skewed data distributions also important Example: Large & small customers
4 Statistics • Auto-recompute points • Sampling strategy • How much to sample - theory? • Random pages versus random rows • Histogram Equal and Range Rows • Out of bounds, value does not exist • etc. Statistics Used by the Query Optimizer in SQL Server 2008Eric N. Hanson and YavorAngelov, Contributor: LuborKollar Optimizing Your Query Plans with the SQL Server 2014 Cardinality EstimatorJoseph Sack http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd535534.aspx
Statistics Structure • Stored (mostly) in binary field Scalar values Density Vector – limit 30, half in NC, half Cluster key Histogram Up to 200 steps Consider not blindly using IDENTITY on critical tables Example: Large customers get low ID values Small customers get high ID values http://sqlblog.com/blogs/joe_chang/archive/2012/05/05/decoding-stats-stream.aspx
Statistics Auto/Re-Compute • Automatically generated on query compile • Recompute at 6 rows, 500, every 20%? Has this changed? 2008 R2 Trace 2371 – lower threshold auto recomputed for large tables http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2754171
Statistics Sampling • Sampling theory • True random sample • Sample error - square root N • Relative error 1/ N • SQL Server sampling • Random pages • But always first and last page??? • All rows in selected pages
Row Estimate Problems (at source) • Skewed data distribution • Out of bounds • Value does not exist Row estimate errors at source – is classified under statistics topic
Loop Join - Table Scan on Inner Source Estimated out from first 2 tabes (at right) is zero or 1 rows. Most efficient join to third table (without index on join column) is a loop join with scan. If row count is 2 or more, then a fullscan is performed for each row from outer source Default statistics rules may lead to serious ETL issues Consider custom strategy
