SQL Server SQL語句調(diào)優(yōu)技巧
????????www.InnovateDigital.com 整理
??????通過例子和解析計(jì)劃，本文展示了在Microsoft SQL Server上提高查詢效率有效的一些技巧。在編程中有很多小提示和技巧。了解這些技巧可以擴(kuò)展你在性能優(yōu)化上的可用機(jī)能。在這部分里我們所有的例子都選擇使用Microsoft SHOWPLAN_ALL輸出，因?yàn)樗o湊并且展示典型的信息。（Sybase的查詢計(jì)劃基本與此相同，可能包含其它一些信息）大部分的例子都是要么基于PUBS數(shù)據(jù)庫，要么基于標(biāo)準(zhǔn)系統(tǒng)表的。我們在PUBS數(shù)據(jù)庫中對用到的表進(jìn)行了很大擴(kuò)充，對很多表增加了好幾萬行。
??????子查詢優(yōu)化
??????一條好的值得稱贊的規(guī)則是盡量用連接代替所有的子查詢。優(yōu)化器有時(shí)可以自動(dòng)將子查詢“扁平化”，并且用常規(guī)或外連接代替。但那樣也不總是有效。明確的連接對選擇表的順序和找到最可能的計(jì)劃給出了更多的選項(xiàng)。當(dāng)你優(yōu)化一個(gè)特殊查詢時(shí)，了解一下是否去掉自查詢可產(chǎn)生很大的差異。
??????示例
??????下面查詢選擇了pubs數(shù)據(jù)庫中所有表的名字，以及每個(gè)表的聚集索引（如果存在）。如果沒有聚集索引，表名仍然顯示在列表中，在聚集索引列中顯示為虛線。兩個(gè)查詢返回同樣的結(jié)果集，但第一個(gè)使用了一個(gè)子查詢，而第二個(gè)使用一個(gè)外連接時(shí)。比較Microsoft SQL Server產(chǎn)生的查詢計(jì)劃
??????SUBQUERY SOLUTION ??????----------------------
??????SELECT st.stor_name AS 'Store',
??????(SELECT SUM(bs.qty)
??????FROM big_sales AS bs
??????WHERE bs.stor_id = st.stor_id), 0)
??????AS 'Books Sold'
??????FROM stores AS st
??????WHERE st.stor_id IN
??????(SELECT DISTINCT stor_id
??????FROM big_sales) | JOIN SOLUTION ----------------------
SELECT st.stor_name AS 'Store',
SUM(bs.qty) AS 'Books Sold'
FROM stores AS st
JOIN big_sales AS bs
ON bs.stor_id = st.stor_id
WHERE st.stor_id IN
(SELECT DISTINCT stor_id
FROM big_sales)
GROUP BY st.stor_name |

??????不必更深探索，我們可以看到在CPU和總的實(shí)耗時(shí)間方面連接更快，僅需要子查詢方案邏輯讀的一半。此外，這兩種情況伴隨著相同的結(jié)果集，雖然排序的順序不同，這是因?yàn)檫B接查詢（由于它的GROUP BY子句）有一個(gè)隱含的ORDER BY:

??????使用連接是更有效的方案。它不需要額外的流聚合（stream aggregate），即子查詢所需在big_sales.qty列的求和。
??????UNION vs UNION ALL
??????無論何時(shí)盡可能用UNION ALL 代替UNION。其中的差異是因?yàn)閁NION有排除重復(fù)行并且對結(jié)果進(jìn)行排序的副作用，而UNION ALL不會做這些工作。選擇無重復(fù)行的結(jié)果需要建立臨時(shí)工作表，用它排序所有行并且在輸出之前排序。（在一個(gè)select distinct 查詢中顯示查詢計(jì)劃將發(fā)現(xiàn)存在一個(gè)流聚合，消耗百分之三十多的資源處理查詢）。當(dāng)你確切知道你得需要時(shí)，可以使用UNION。但如果你估計(jì)在結(jié)果集中沒有重復(fù)的行，就使用UNION ALL吧。它只是從一個(gè)表或一個(gè)連接中選擇，然后從另一個(gè)表中選擇，附加在第一條結(jié)果集的底部。UNION ALL不需要工作表和排序（除非其它條件引起的）。在大部分情況下UNION ALL更具效率。一個(gè)有潛在危險(xiǎn)的問題是使用UNION會在數(shù)據(jù)庫中產(chǎn)生巨大的泛濫的臨時(shí)工作表。如果你期望從UNION查詢中獲得大量的結(jié)果集時(shí)，這就可能發(fā)生。
??????示例
??????下面的查詢是選擇pubs數(shù)據(jù)庫中的表sales的所有商店的ID，也選擇表big_sales中的所有商店的ID，這個(gè)表中我們加入了70，000多行數(shù)據(jù)。在這兩個(gè)方案間不同之處僅僅是UNION 與UNION ALL的使用比較。但在這個(gè)計(jì)劃中加入ALL關(guān)鍵字產(chǎn)生了三大不同。第一個(gè)方案中，在返回結(jié)果集給客戶端之前需要流聚合并且排序結(jié)果。第二個(gè)查詢更有效率，特別是對大表。在這個(gè)例子中兩個(gè)查詢返回同樣的結(jié)果集，雖然順序不同。在我們的測試中有兩個(gè)臨時(shí)表。你的結(jié)果可能會稍有差異。

??????雖然在這個(gè)例子的結(jié)果集是可互換的，你可以看到UNION ALL語句比UNION語句少消耗一半的資源。所以應(yīng)當(dāng)預(yù)料你的結(jié)果集并且確定已經(jīng)沒有重復(fù)時(shí)，使用UNION ALL子句。
??????函數(shù)和表達(dá)式約束索引
??????當(dāng)你在索引列上使用內(nèi)置的函數(shù)或表達(dá)式時(shí)，優(yōu)化器不能使用這些列的索引。盡量重寫這些條件，在表達(dá)式中不要包含索引列。
??????示例
??????你應(yīng)該幫助SQL Server移除任何在索引數(shù)值列周圍的表達(dá)式。下面的查詢是從表jobs通過唯一的聚集索引的唯一鍵值選擇出的一行。如果你在這個(gè)列上使用表達(dá)式，這個(gè)索引就不起作用了。但一旦你將條件’job_id-2=0’ 該成‘job_id=2’，優(yōu)化器將在聚集索引上執(zhí)行seek操作。

??????SET NOCOUNT ON
??????使用SET NOCOUNT ON 提高T-SQL代碼速度的現(xiàn)象使SQL Server開發(fā)者和數(shù)據(jù)庫系統(tǒng)管理者驚訝難解。你可能已經(jīng)注意到成功的查詢返回了關(guān)于受影響的行數(shù)的系統(tǒng)信息。在很多情況下，你不需要這些信息。這個(gè)SET NOCOUNT ON命令允許你禁止所有在你的會話事務(wù)中的子查詢的信息，直到你發(fā)出SET NOCOUNT OFF。
??????這個(gè)選項(xiàng)不只在于其輸出的裝飾效果。它減少了從服務(wù)器端到客戶端傳遞的信息量。因此，它幫助降低了網(wǎng)絡(luò)通信量并提高了你的事務(wù)整體響應(yīng)時(shí)間。傳遞單個(gè)信息的時(shí)間可以忽略，但考慮到這種情況，一個(gè)腳本在一個(gè)循環(huán)里執(zhí)行一些查詢并且發(fā)送好幾千字節(jié)無用的信息給用戶。

??????當(dāng)帶SET NOCOUNT OFF命令運(yùn)行，實(shí)耗時(shí)間是5176毫秒。當(dāng)帶SET NOCOUNT ON命令運(yùn)行，實(shí)耗時(shí)間是1620毫秒。如果不需要輸出中的行數(shù)信息，考慮在每一個(gè)存儲過程和腳本開始時(shí)增加SET NOCOUNT ON 命令將。
??????TOP 和 SET ROWCOUNT
??????SELECT 語句中的TOP子句限制單個(gè)查詢返回的行數(shù)，而SET ROWCOUNT限制所有后續(xù)查詢影響的行數(shù)。在很多編程任務(wù)中這些命令提供了高效率。
??????SET ROWCOUNT在SELECT，INSERT，UPDATE OR DELETE語句中設(shè)置可以被影響的最大行數(shù)。這些設(shè)置在命令執(zhí)行時(shí)馬上生效并且只影響當(dāng)前的會話。為了移除這個(gè)限制執(zhí)行SET ROWCOUNT 0。
一些實(shí)際的任務(wù)用TOP or SET ROWCOUNT比用標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的SQL命令對編程是更有效率的。讓我們在幾個(gè)例子中證明：
??????TOP n
??????在幾乎所有的數(shù)據(jù)庫中最流行的一個(gè)查詢是請求一個(gè)列表中的前N項(xiàng)。在 pubs數(shù)據(jù)庫案例中，我們可以查找銷售最好CD的前五項(xiàng)。比較用TOP，SET ROWCOUNT和使用ANSI SQL的三種方案。
??????純 ANSI SQL:
??????Select title,ytd_sales
??????From titles a
??????Where (select count(*)
??????From titles b
??????Where b.ytd_sales>a.ytd_sales
??????)<5
??????Order by ytd_sales DESC
??????這個(gè)純ANSI SQL方案執(zhí)行一個(gè)效率可能很低的關(guān)聯(lián)子查詢，特別的在這個(gè)例子中，在ytd_sales上沒有索引支持。另外，這個(gè)純的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)SQL命令沒有過濾掉在ytd_sales的空值,也沒有區(qū)別多個(gè)CD間有關(guān)聯(lián)的情況。
??????使用 SET ROWCOUNT:
??????SET ROWCOUNT 5
??????SELECT title, ytd_sales
??????FROM titles
??????ORDER BY ytd_sales DESC
??????SET ROWCOUNT 0
??????使用 TOP n:
??????SELECT TOP 5 title, ytd_sales
??????FROM titles
??????ORDER BY ytd_sales DESC
??????第二個(gè)方案使用SET ROWCOUNT來停止SELECT查詢，而第三個(gè)方案是當(dāng)它找到前五行時(shí)用TOP n來停止。在這種情況下，在獲得結(jié)果之前我們也要有一個(gè)ORDER BY子句強(qiáng)制對整個(gè)表進(jìn)行排序。兩個(gè)查詢的查詢計(jì)劃實(shí)際上是一樣的。然而，TOP優(yōu)于SET ROWCOUNT的關(guān)鍵點(diǎn)是SET必須處理ORDER BY子句所需的工作表，而TOP 不用。
??????在一個(gè)大表上，我們可以在ytd_sales上創(chuàng)建一個(gè)索引以避免排序。查詢將使用該索引找到前5行并停止。與第一個(gè)方案相比較，其掃描了整個(gè)表，并對每一行執(zhí)行了一個(gè)關(guān)聯(lián)子查詢。在小表上，性能的差異是很小的。但是在一個(gè)大表上，第一個(gè)方案的處理時(shí)間可能是數(shù)個(gè)小時(shí)，而后兩個(gè)方法是數(shù)秒。
??????當(dāng)確定查詢需要時(shí)，請考慮是否只需要其中幾行，如果是，使用TOP子句將節(jié)約大量時(shí)間。
