SQL Query Performance Tips

This document discusses SQL query performance tuning. It outlines the core performance tuning process as iterative, focusing efforts on SQL performance killers like poor indexing, statistics, blocking, query design and database design. Specific killers are listed such as non-set-based operations, excessive fragmentation and improper tempdb configuration. The process involves establishing a performance baseline and measuring if hardware, software, queries and workload are optimized for maximum performance and concurrency.

The Core Process
• Is any other resource intensive process is
running on the same server?
• Is the hardware subsystem is capable to
withstand the maximum workload?
• Is the SQL server configured Correctly?
• Is the database connection between SQL
server and The database application is
efficient?

The Core Process
• Does he database support the fastest data
retrieval ?
• Is the user workload consisting of SQL Queries
is optimized to reduce load on SQL Server?
• What processes are causing the system to
slow down as reflected in the measurement
various wait states
• Does the workload support the maximum
concurrency?
