| My company (using SQL Server 2019 Standard) has an algorithm that keys addresses into a varchar(40) has a cross-reference database that assigns an identity property to each new value, allowing us to post the numeric in our datasets. Production has to search their generated string keys in this database’s table to get the integer key in return. We have ensured proper string data typing on lookups and have unique compressed indexes on the string values. What would your next tuning step be if this was not getting the performance you needed? |
| What are your thoughts on a proc with heavy dynamic SQL used to provide for flexibility – to include extra tables to join, table variables of IDs, and usually resulting in multiple query plans? Is there a best practice to handle this other than “create separate procs” (and stop using table variables)? |
| What options do we have for optimizing queries against tables that store JSON data in SQL Server? There are often queries that update the JSON in place or depend on some JSON value for filtering. Would indexing a computed column make sense over an indexed view? At what point do we start trying to design a normalized table structure to store this data? |
| Filtered index over IS (NOT) NULL – good, bad, or ugly? |
| how does RCSI/Sanpshot isolation work when crossing databases, if either the calling DB or target DB does not have it enabled? |

| Hello friend, How many Hello friend, are there techniques to compare data returned from a sproc when making perf changes to make sure you are not messing up the results? I currently run the old sproc and the updated sproc and copy the results into a text diff app, but was wondering if there was a better way. |
| Hi Erik, What is the feature of mssql that you would like to see customers or dba use more ? |
| What are your top three books on performance tuning that you would enthusiastically recommend to someone about to embark on this journey? |
| Hi Erik, in AdventureWorks I have these two statements: select top 5 ProductID pid into #p from Production.Product; select * from Production.Product where ProductID in (select ProductID from #p); As you can see, the subquery is wrong, but SSMS doesn’t highlight the error, the query runs basically unfiltered. Do you know the reason? |
| Hi Erik, please do NOT consider my previous question. Thanks. I’m tired…. |
