i got this query :UPDATE tts set tts.[Content]=t3.IndexId from TargetTable_Staging tts inner join ( select t1.id as PKid,t2.id as IndexId FROM TargetTable t1 inner join Tbl_Content t2 (NOLOCK) ON t1.[Content]=t2.Value COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS )t3 on tts.id=t3.PKid
the structure of the Tbl_Content is :CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Tbl_Content]( [Id] [bigint] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT FOR REPLICATION NOT NULL, [Value] [nvarchar](200) NULL, CONSTRAINT [PK_Tbl_Content] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED ( [Id] ASC)WITH (PAD_INDEX = OFF, STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF, ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS = ON, ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS = ON) ON [PRIMARY], CONSTRAINT [IX_Content] UNIQUE NONCLUSTERED ( [Value] ASC)WITH (PAD_INDEX = OFF, STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF, ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS = ON, ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS = ON) ON [PRIMARY]) ON [PRIMARY]GO
the TargetTable is a temp table to which i bulk upload data(where to Content column is in size of nvarchar(200) ) and then add an index to this column with :CREATE NONCLUSTERED INDEX [IX_TargetTable_Content] ON [dbo].[TargetTable] ( [Content] ASC)WITH (PAD_INDEX = OFF, STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE = OFF, SORT_IN_TEMPDB = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF, DROP_EXISTING = OFF, ONLINE = OFF, ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS = ON, ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS = ON) ON [FG_INDEX]
this query is putting the ID of the content from Tbl_content, into a second TargetTable_Staging and updating its id. the problem it takes almost 3 minutes!!! while all other queries about 10-100 ms.any idea?thankspeleg
