Let's post the hi scores we find when profiling sql server.

This is what i'm looking at right now
type==duration====read====writes====CPU
----------------------------------------------------------
SELECT 3188	470896	16	3172
SELECT 3137	470908	0	3078
SELECT 3145	468914	1987	3094
SELECT 3150	468133	2011	3125
SELECT 3515	468458	2005	3484
SELECT 3212	468459	2001	3203

Beat this 8) , can't be that hard, and play nice, only post real ones

    Ok, but the SELECT was which select? What did you select?The numbers are nice, but without steps to set same queries etc. are about nothing... I can run profiler and catch numbers for any select in my database, but I cannot compare it with your result. Do you understand what I want to say? :wink:

    @kine

    that is the beauty of it?

    In this case , it is a select using a source type sourno construct on a table in our solution.

    But that doesn't matter

    this post is just about sharing the pain with the community.

    btw ;) i allready found what was causing this, every table was a heap ](*,)

    Great idea! \:D/

    Date: 10.12.2007
    SELECT using Wildcard:

    Reads: 204.346 (1.634.768KB ! On SQL 2000 STD with 1,7 GB Target Server Memory)
    CPU: 859
    Duration: 936

    Causing a "Avg. Disk Write Queue Length" of 6045 and a "% Disk Time" of 604.518 ... means: this single query actually shut down the whole system ... ](*,)

    Not that many reads as yours, but currently the only query I have a record :wink:

    SELECT SUM(...)

    SQLServer 2000SP3 with +-5GB of memory.

    Reads:1240074
    CPU:5515
    Duration:15000

    There was a missing SIFT. And this SELECT was launched quite often.
    Page life expectancy dropped to almost 0 several times per hour. And the drives were almost continually at 100%.
    After fixing this one (and a lot of others), now the drives sometimes have a peak of about 70% for 2 or 3 seconds and they get back down.

    But this is not the worst I encountered. I've had a customer where even the Enterprise Manager didn't react any more because the server was overworked. They had to do everything through TSQL-statements.

    Ha! Just last Sunday I got a real killer!

    Full Table Scan due to missing Index on super-size table:

    5.179.823 Reads (not kidding, no joke, kein Scheiss - I've got the TRC for evidence)

    This means:
    5.179.823 x 8KB (Page) = 41.438.584KB = about 40GB

    The query required about 40GB of RAM/cache, but unfortunately only 8RAM physical memory are available on that Server - that's what I call "hell on earth" ...

    I have Highscore in reads:
    6332 duration
    13.102.036 reads
    0 Writes
    6282 CPU

    I do not know how the hardware can do that in this time... ;-)

    This is my high score

    Reads: 896517 with a duration of 1287 and cpu 1031

    reason: the developer has designed a bad key. After i changed the key and the source -> reads 789
    Do you make it right, it works too!

    I've checked Profiler recently and interestingly it doesn't really show what I think it would show - am I doing something wrong? I just ran a codeunit which simply reads all entries in a ledger - takes about 10 secs. Ran the Profiler on it ticking SQL Batch Complete and SQL Statement Complete and I don't see the SELECT on the ledger table, just some other (very short) operations.

    The following Events i've selected:

    Stored Procedures
    - PRC:Completed
    - SP:Completed
    - SP:StmtCompleted

    TSQL
    - SQL:BatchCompleted
    - SQL:BatchStarting

    Filter:
    Reads -> Reater than or equal (for example 2000)

    activate "Exclude rows that do not contain values"
    Do you make it right, it works too!

    Thanks! I think the big trick is then to look at the Reads instead of Duration.

    right. A hig Read Level must not have a high duration

    Not a profiler high score, but pretty high: 600MB of receipt lines, 99.9% is invoiced, 99.9% is from the same vendor, Get Receipts Lines, filters on vendor & qty. received not invoiced, but index is only on the vendor - so reading and in-memory sorting of 600MB :) I've put an index on that too, fingers crossed - my very first real-life optimization... :)
