I often travel across the world presenting on SQL Server Performance Tuning Topics. When I am not busy with Comprehensive Database Performance Health Check, I like to train IT professionals with SQL Server Performance Tuning Practical Workshop. I personally believe that I can’t reach everywhere to help with SQL Server Performance issues but if I train more people on this topic, they can virtually replicate me to solve their SQL Server issues. Today we will talk about a sample long-running query which I use for my demonstrations.
Long-Running Query for Demonstrations
Quite often during the training, I demonstrate techniques to identify the long-running queries and how to troubleshoot them. Here is the query which I have built based on the WideWorldImporters database and it keeps on running on the extremely fast machine for over an hour.
USE WideWorldImporters GO -- Long Query SELECT * FROM [Sales].[InvoiceLines] il INNER JOIN [Sales].[Invoices] i ON i.InvoiceID = il.InvoiceID INNER JOIN [Sales].[OrderLines] ol ON ol.OrderID = i.OrderID INNER JOIN [Sales].[Orders] o ON o.OrderID = ol.OrderID GO
There are scenarios when I have to run the query much faster and in that case, I keep any one of them joins in the above script and remove the rest of the join.
I will be traveling to various different countries in Europe in September 2019. Here are the details of the my travel: September 2019 Training Updates – Czech Republic, Netherlands, Sweden, Denmark.
If you are interested in learning my SQL server Performance Tuning secrets, I strongly suggest that you enrole yourself in Recorded Online Classes SQL Server Performance Tuning Practical Workshop – Recorded Classes.
Let me know if you want to read about any particular topic of SQL Server Performance Tuning and I will be happy to blog about them in the future.
