Note of SQL performance tuning

Note of this book - http://www.ocelot.ca/tuning.htm

1) Order of "and" and "or" is matter, if no cost-base optimizer

where column1 = 'a' and column2 = 'b' -> where column2 = 'b' and column1 = 'a' if column2 'b' is less likely

2) <> is more expensive than =

3) Can force to use index if SELECT * FROM table WHERE indexed_column > 0

4) UPPER(column) might lose information, use LOWER is better

5) WHERE column = 'WORD' or column = 'word' is always faster than WHERE LOWER(column) = 'word' , even faster version is test if database if case-insensitive: WHERE column = 'WORD' or ('WORD' <> 'word' AND column = 'word')

6) 32bit integer is the fastest datatype for 32bit OS

7) column in (?, ?) is faster than column =? or column = ? for some database, and don't slow in any database

8) For aggregate functions, prevent using having, try to use fewer columns in group by and use subquery if possible

9) In fact, count(1) is not faster than count(*)

10) CAST before aggregate function: SELECT CAST(SUM(column) AS INT) -> SELECT SUM(CAST(column as INT))

11) Use constant as much as possible, e.g.: select * from t1, t2 where t1.c1 = t2.c1 and t1.c1 = 1 -> select * from t1, t2 where t1.c1=1 andn t2.c1=1

12) Information of Join vs Subqueries

13) Information of optimum column type (VARCHAR, TIMESTAMP, WORD size INT and CHAR(1) usually better), shift effect for page

14) prevent NULL for porting issue

15) Low level table physical information

Some related links - http://www.techartifact.com[..]9/12/sql-optimization-tipsquestions.html

16) Prevent database level transaction, prevent joining, prevent locking ( like auto increment key ), pretty good suggestion - http://www.aviransplace.com/2015/08/12/mysql-is-a-great-nosql/

17) Reduce dataset for aggregation - https://www.periscopedata.com[..]-subqueries-to-count-distinct-50x-faster

SQL 2005 JDBC fix the resultset re-read throws exception problem. However, you need to use executeUpdate() for insert,update and delete instead of execute() for SQL 2005 JDBC, otherwise will throw exception on this.

Other that, statement.executeBatch() will throws exception: http://lab.msdn.microsoft.com[..]kid=e13a8009-7466-4803-ba19-6bfd4b5f8966

There is a free version of SQL server 2005 call SQL server express, which just like MSDE http://www.microsoft.com/sql/editions/express/redistregister.mspx

Here is a comparison: http://www.sqlmag.com[..]le/ArticleID/49618/sql_server_49618.html , may be we can use that instead of MSDE 2005 and discoutinue support of SQL server 2000 so that we can test one thing less?

oracle

Some comment saying that you cannot complain oracle for non-standard setup... However, should I break anything else just to install oracle? Anyway, may be a useful resource of installing oracle cluster - http://thedailywtf.com/forums/65743/ShowPost.aspx

Oracle does allow definitions of user-defined types.Please see
http://download.oracle.com[..]er.111/b28286/sql_elements001.htm#i46376

User-defined types can then be used for column definitions. See e.g.
the fourth example given here
http://download.oracle.com[..].111/b28286/statements_7002.htm#i2062833

Oracle also allows creation of a table based on one user-defined type,
i.e. an "object table".
See here
http://download.oracle.com[..].111/b28286/statements_7002.htm#i2159410

User-defined types can be changed; see
http://download.oracle.com[..].111/b28286/statements_4002.htm#i2057828
Oracle even offers an option as to whether existing data in tables
based on previous type definition is converted or not; see
http://download.oracle.com[..].111/b28286/statements_4002.htm#i2079300
