I've just posted about filtering with joins is difficult to optimize (http://sqlblogcasts.com/blogs/simons/archive/2010/02/16/Filtering-by-joining-is-difficult-to-optimise.aspx). This post is along the same lines and is about the opposite, when joins don't filter as expected but rather they expand the result set. As with the filtering post, this join situation I am going to describe is also difficult to identify and the database tuning advisor won't be able to help you either. Someone asked me the ot...

There are a handful of things that can make SQL Server choose a “bad plan”. They usually revolve around variable sized result sets. Some problematic scenarios are parameter sniffing, data skew, local variables, table variables, UDF’s or complex calculations in the where clause. All of these and more are detailed in my favorite and recently [...] (more)

User defined function performance is awful, Micorosft please sort this out

published 187 days, 20 hours, 40 minutes ago posted by sasa 197 days, 4 hours, 34 minutes ago

User defined functions looked like something great when they were introduced in SQL 2005. They are a very logical step to make more code reuseable by wrapping common code in functions. It is an approach that is in development 101 and something everyone does and looks to doing. So what is the problem with SQL Server. Well the issue is that whilst there are great from a reducation of duplicated code the performance sucks, and sucks big time. I wrote about this a year ago  and have spoke about it at m... (more)

Entity Framework - MergeOption.NoTracking and CompiledQuery.Compile

published 199 days, 21 hours, 34 minutes ago posted by sasa 209 days, 9 hours ago
Tuesday, January 12, 2010 10:30:47 PM GMT Sunday, January 03, 2010 11:05:21 AM GMT
Two things that people tell you about Entity framework performance are, use the Compiled Queryies and potentially remove tracking when its not needed. You can achieve this by using the CompiledQuery.Compile function to obtain a function that is your compiled query and to set the MergeOption of the relevant entities on the ObjectContext. I've just finished banging my head against a wall when trying to assess the performance of these together. This was my simple code. Create a static readonly functio... (more)
