6 gefällt mir•1,774 views
This document discusses various SQL Server tools for query tuning. It begins by outlining the goals of understanding available native tools, applying the right tools for situations, and learning how to use the tools. The document then covers tools for identifying issues, investigating queries, modifying queries, and measuring performance. These include extended events, Query Store, dynamic management views, execution plans, and automation features. It provides examples of how each tool can be used and concludes with documentation resources.

- 23. YOU CONTROL… 23 Turn it on or Off Time to flush to disk Size of storage Days in storage Plans per query limit Automatic cleanup Capture Mode Aggregation Interval Length
- 25. PLAN FORCING 25 Plan Store Runtime Statistics Query Optimization Process Async Query Execution Async Plan forcing
- 26. DEMOS 26
- 27. QUERY TUNING OPPORTUNITIES 27 Changes in how you monitor New information available Bad parameter sniffing Cardinality estimation issues Structural problems leading to plan differences
- 28. UPGRADE OPPORTUNITIES 28 Restore your older database, leave compatibility level in place Turn on query store Run your load Switch compatibility level Identify regressions & force plans as needed
- 29. QUERY STORE Used in Identify Measure Automate
- 31. DYNAMIC MANAGEMENT VIEWS (DMV) T-SQL Cache dependent Limited runtime info Ubiquitous

- 47. EXECUTION PLANS
- 48. WHAT IS AN EXECUTION PLAN • An execution plan describes the set of operations that the execution engine within SQL Server needs to perform in order to return the data or perform the action required by a query.

- 51. WHAT IS IN A PLAN
- 52. WHAT IS IN A PLAN
- 53. EXECUTION PLANS Estimated Actual Estimated Plan with metrics
- 54. PLAN METRICS Degree of Parallelism Memory Grant Wait Statistics Query Time Statistics Memory Grant Info Parameter Runtime Value
- 55. OPERATOR METRICS Counts Per Thread Actual Rebinds Actual Rewinds Actual Rows Batches Actual CPU MS Actual End of Scans Actual Executions Actual Logical Reads Actual Physical Reads Actual Read Aheads Actual Elapsed DMS Actual Lob Logical Reads Actual Lob Physical Reads Actual Lob Read Aheads Input Memory Grant Output Memory Grant Used Memory Grant
- 56. WHAT TO LOOK FOR
- 57. First Operator Warnings Most Costly Operations Fat Pipes Extra Operators Scans Estimated vs. Actual
- 58. FIRST OPERATOR Plan size Compile time Missing Indexes Optimization level Parameter • Compiled value • Runtime Value Query hash Reason for early termination ANSI settings
- 59. WHERE TO GO, WHAT TO READ It’s all in the Properties Identify Node ID Combine plans and metrics Every operator is unique (to a degree) Track output from each operator
- 60. LIVE QUERY STATISTICS Living Query Plan 2014+ Data only in 2012 Must activate with query Can’t run on executing query No recording
- 61. COMPARING EXECUTION PLANS SSMS 17.4+ 2016+ Hilight differences One plan must be file Identify similarities Includes properties
- 62. EXECUTION PLANS Used in Investigate Modify
- 63. AUTOMATION
- 64. ADAPTIVE QUERY PROCESSING Multi-Statement Table- Valued Functions Interleaved execution No data modification No CROSS APPLY Marked in execution plan Tracking through extended events Batch Mode Memory Grants Literally revises memory grant Batch Mode processing only 2x or greater on memory over 1mb No RECOMPILE Tracking through extended events Batch Mode Adaptive Joins Defers join choice Batch Mode processing only Hash or loop joins only Tracking through Query Store
- 65. AUTOMATED TUNING Weaponizing Query Store Machine learning Azure SQL Database only Index creation Drop Indexes
- 66. AUTOMATED PLAN REGRESSION Further weaponization of Query Store 2017 Only (not Azure!) sys.dm_db _tuning_ recommendations Last good plan Self correcting
