patrick gallucci's sql server brain drain
So in Part II of this article I had created a View so that I could then create an index on this view to see if that was going to give me the expected results. I did create the view, but not the index. So you probably already know. These columns are non-deterministic and as a result the create index statement fails. CREATE UNIQUE CLUSTERED INDEX [IDX1] ON [dbo].[vDateSelection] ( [ID] ASC ) WITH (STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE = OFF, SORT_IN_TEMPDB = OFF, DROP_EXISTING = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF, ONLINE = OFF, ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS = ON, ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS = OFF) ON [PRIMARY] GO Msg 1963, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 Cannot create index on view "TESTDATABASE.dbo.vDateSelection". The view contains a convert that is imprecise or non-deterministic. So that ends the questions...for now about indexed views and the effect of the results. So here comes the results of how this works with no changes to the actual syntax of the query. I will introduce them one a time and then we will take a deep dive into why this behavior works sometimes and not all. And if this is correct behavior, is there the possibility that something that is executed today could fail in the future. So looking at the scripts from my previous post there are some obvious elements missing form the schema. How about a primary key on each of the tables...and lets make these clustered unique as well. CREATE TABLE [dbo].[testTable1]( [ID] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL, [LookupTypeID] [int] NOT NULL, [LookupValue] [varchar] (50) NOT NULL, CONSTRAINT [PK_testTable1] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED ( [ID] ASC ) WITH (PAD_INDEX = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF) ON [PRIMARY] ) ON [PRIMARY] GO CREATE TABLE [dbo].[testTable2]( [ID] [int] NOT NULL, [LookupType] [varchar] (50) NOT NULL, CONSTRAINT [PK_testTable2] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED ( [ID] ASC ) WITH (PAD_INDEX = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF) ON [PRIMARY] ) ON [PRIMARY] GO We can then also add the foreign key constraint for the ID. As you can see I have modified testTable1 by adding an Identity columns for my primary key. ALTER TABLE dbo.testTable1 WITH NOCHECK ADD CONSTRAINT FK_testTable1_testTable2 FOREIGN KEY ( LookupTypeID ) REFERENCES dbo.testTable2 ( ID ) ON UPDATE NO ACTION ON DELETE NO ACTION NOT FOR REPLICATION GO ALTER TABLE dbo.testTable1 NOCHECK CONSTRAINT FK_testTable1_testTable2 GO With these changes we are close, Well I thought...but I am still getting the same error. PRINT 'Simple Query WITH FILTER' SELECT a .[LookupValue] ,DATEPART(MONTH,CONVERT(SMALLDATETIME,a.[LookupValue])) AS MonthPart ,DATEPART(YEAR,CONVERT(SMALLDATETIME,a.[LookupValue])) AS YearPart FROM [dbo] .[testTable1] a INNER JOIN [dbo] .[testTable2] b ON a .[LookupTypeID] = b.[ID] AND b.[LookupType] = 'Date' WHERE DATEPART(MONTH,CONVERT(SMALLDATETIME,a.[LookupValue])) = 1 AND DATEPART(YEAR,CONVERT(SMALLDATETIME,a.[LookupValue])) = 2007; GO PRINT 'DERIVED TABLE WITH FILTER' SELECT ID,MonthPart,YearPart FROM ( SELECT a .[ID] AS ID ,DATEPART(MONTH,CONVERT(SMALLDATETIME,a.[LookupValue])) AS MonthPart ,DATEPART(YEAR,CONVERT(SMALLDATETIME,a.[LookupValue])) AS YearPart FROM [dbo] .[testTable1] a INNER JOIN [dbo] .[testTable2] b ON a .[LookupTypeID] = b.[ID] AND b.[LookupType] = 'Date' ) AS DateSelection WHERE DateSelection .MonthPart = 1 AND DateSelection .YearPart = 2007 GO PRINT 'COMMON TABLE EXPRESSION WITH FILTER' GO WITH DateSelection (ID,MonthPart,YearPart) AS ( SELECT a .[ID] AS ID ,DATEPART(MONTH,CONVERT(SMALLDATETIME,a.[LookupValue])) AS MonthPart ,DATEPART(YEAR,CONVERT(SMALLDATETIME,a.[LookupValue])) AS YearPart FROM [dbo] .[testTable1] a INNER JOIN [dbo] .[testTable2] b ON a .[LookupTypeID] = b.[ID] AND b.[LookupType] = 'Date' ) SELECT ID ,MonthPart,YearPart FROM DateSelection WHERE DateSelection .MonthPart = 1 AND DateSelection .YearPart = 2007 GO PRINT 'VIEW WITH FILTER' SELECT ID ,MonthPart,YearPart FROM vDateSelection DateSelection WHERE DateSelection .MonthPart = 1 AND DateSelection .YearPart = 2007 GO The results were the same. So lets go the full distance now and add the index to the LookupTypeID Field to complete the cycle. --Add Non Clustered Index. CREATE NONCLUSTERED INDEX [IDX_testTable1_01] ON [dbo].[testTable1] ( [LookupTypeID] ASC ) WITH (STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE = OFF, SORT_IN_TEMPDB = OFF, DROP_EXISTING = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF, ONLINE = OFF, ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS = ON, ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS = OFF) ON [PRIMARY] GO And BAM. Still the same results. What could be going on here...In the article I will try to understand this myself as well as get some commentary from some insiders... Stay Tuned.
