How to inject condition dynamically in sql query based on condition? - sql

I have a stored procedure that currently returns calculates statistics for employee to show on dashboard to track employee sale performance for individual employee.
Now, I am modifying that stored procedure to return the statistics to see the sales performance per department.
#EmployeeId int
#DepartmentId int,
SET #NewLeadForSlaes = (SELECT SUM(SaleStats)
FROM SaleSummary AS SS (nolock)
INNER JOIN CustomerSale AS CS ON SS.SaleId = CS.SaleId
WHERE CS.CityId = #CityId
AND CS.EmployeeId = #EmployeeId
AND SS.Type = 'Lead'
AND SS.Name = 'Sale'
AND (DATEFROMPARTS(SS.SaleYear, SS.SaleMonth, 1) >= #FromDate
AND DATEFROMPARTS(SS.SaleYear, SS.SaleMonth, 1) < #ToDate));
So when it will for EmployeeId, DepartmentId will be null and vice versa.
This is the condition for employee:
CS.EmployeeId = #EmployeeId
This is the condition for department:
CS.DepartmentId = #DepartmentId
How do I inject the condition dynamically but still keeps 1 query?

Give this a Try, Put an ISNULL as I have done below. Since You have already mentioned in your question that the #EmployeeId will be NULL for Department and Vice versa, a Simple ISNULL or a COALESCE should do the job for you
DECLARE
#EmployeeId int,
#DepartmentId int
SET #NewLeadForSlaes = (
SELECT
SUM(SaleStats)
FROM SaleSummary AS SS (nolock)
INNER JOIN CustomerSale AS CS
ON SS.SaleId = CS.SaleId
WHERE CS.CityId = #CityId
AND CS.EmployeeId = #EmployeeId
AND SS.Type = 'Lead'
AND SS.Name = 'Sale'
AND DATEFROMPARTS(SS.SaleYear, SS.SaleMonth, 1) >= #FromDate
AND DATEFROMPARTS(SS.SaleYear, SS.SaleMonth, 1) < #ToDate
AND CS.EmployeeId = ISNULL(#EmployeeId,CS.EmployeeId) -- Pass #EmployeeId as NULL for DepartmentId
AND CS.DepartmentId = ISNULL(#DepartmentId,CS.DepartmentId) -- Pass #DepartmentId as NULL for Employee
);

This is some what of a stab in the dark, if I am honest, but what I think you want is an OR which checks that value matches the value of the column while the other parameter is NULL. I also make some changes to the WHERE, such as making it SARGable (though really you should be adding a date column). I remove the NOLOCK, as I doubt you need it too.
DECLARE #EmployeeId int, --oddly the comma was missing here, but
#DepartmentId int;--, --there was a trailing comma here.
SELECT #NewLeadForSlaes = SUM(SaleStats) --Should this not be #NewLeadForSales? You're also missing the DECLARE
FROM dbo.SaleSummary AS SS --(NOLOCK) --Is there a good reason you're using the NOLOCk hint?
INNER JOIN CustomerSale AS CS ON SS.SaleId = CS.SaleId
WHERE CS.CityId = #CityId
AND ((CS.EmployeeId = #EmployeeId AND #DepartmentId IS NULL)
OR (CS.DepartmentId = #DepartmentId AND #EmployeeId IS NULL))
AND SS.Type ='Lead'
AND SS.Name ='Sale'
--This is SARGable but it's messy. Add a date (and time?) column to your table
AND ((SS.SaleYear = DATEPART(YEAR, #FromDate) AND SS.SaleMonth >= DATEPART(MONTH, #FromDate))
OR (SS.SaleYear > DATEPART(YEAR, #FromDate) AND SS.SaleYear < DATEPART(YEAR, #ToDate))
OR (SS.SaleYear = DATEPART(YEAR, #ToDate) AND SS.SaleMonth <= DATEPART(MONTH, #ToDate)))
OPTION (RECOMPILE);

How to improve while loop insert performance in sql server?

Here is my SQL Query. It's insert almost 6500+ row from temp table. But its takes 15+ mins! . How can i improve this ? Thanks

As has been said in comments, the loop is completely unnecessary. The way to improve the performance of any loop is to remove it completely. Loops are a last resort in SQL.
As far as I can tell your insert can be written with a single statement:
INSERT tbl_bill(clid, hlid, holdingNo,ClientID, ClientName, billno, date_month, unit, others, fine, due, bill, rebate, remark, payment_date, inserted_by, inserted_date)
SELECT clid = c.id,
hlid = h.id,
h.holdinNo ,
c.cliendID,
clientName = CAST(c.clientName AS NVARCHAR(50)),
BillNo = CONCAT(h.holdinNo, MONTH(#tdate), YEAR(#tdate)),
date_month = #tDate,
unit = 0,
others = CASE WHEN h.hfloor = 0 THEN rs.frate * (h.hfloor - 1) ELSE 0 END,
fine = bs.FineRate * b.Due / 100,
due = b.Due,
bill = #bill, -- This is declared but never assigned
rebate = bs.rebate,
remark = #remark,
payment_date = #pdate,
inserted_by = #userid,
inserted_date = GETDATE()
FROM ( SELECT id, clientdID, ClientName
FROM tbl_client
WHERE status = 1
) AS c
INNER JOIN
( SELECT id, holdinNo, [floor], connect_radius
FROM tx_holding
WHERE status = 1
AND connect_radius <> '0'
AND type = 'Residential'
) AS h
ON c.id = h.clid
LEFT JOIN tbl_radius_setting AS rs
ON rs.radius= CONVERT(real,h.connect_radius)
AND rs.status = 1
AND rs.type = 'Non-Govt.'
LEFT JOIN tbl_bill_setting AS bs
ON bs.Status = 1
LEFT JOIN
( SELECT hlid,
SUM(netbill) AS Due
FROM tbl_bill AS b
WHERE date_month < #tdate
AND (b.ispay = 0 OR b.ispay IS NULL)
GROUP BY hlid
) AS b
ON b.hlid = h.id
WHERE NOT EXISTS
( SELECT 1
FROM tbl_bill AS tb
WHERE EOMONTH(#tdate) = EOMONTH(date_month)
AND tb.holdingNo = h.holdinNo
AND (tb.update_by IS NOT NULL OR tb.ispay=1)
);
Please take this with a pinch of salt, it was quite hard work trying to piece together the logic, so it may need some minor tweaks and corrections
As well as adapting this to work as a single statement, I have made a number of modifications to your existing code:
Swapped NOT IN for NOT EXISTS to avoid any issues with null records. If holdingNo is nullable, they are equivalent, if holdingNo is nullable, NOT EXISTS is safer - Not Exists Vs Not IN
The join syntax you are using was replaced 27 years ago, so I switched from ANSI-89 join syntax to ANSI-92. - Bad habits to kick : using old-style JOINs
Changed predicates of YEAR(date_month) = YEAR(#tDate) AND MONTH(date_month) = MONTH(#tDate) to become EOMONTH(#tdate) = EOMONTH(date_month). These are syntactically the same, but EOMONTH is Sargable, whereas MONTH and YEAR are not.
Then a few further links/suggestions that are directly related to changes I have made
Although I removed the while lopp, don't fall into the trap of thinking this is better than a cursor. A properly declared cursor will out perform a while loop like yours - Bad Habits to Kick : Thinking a WHILE loop isn't a CURSOR
The general consensus is that prefixing object names is not a good idea. It should either be obvious from the context if an object is a table/view or function/procedure, or it should be irrelevant - i.e. There is no need to distinguish between a table or a view, and in fact, we may wish to change from one to the other, so having the prefix makes things worse, not better.
The average ratio of time spent reading code to time spent writing code is around 10:1 - It is therefore worth the effort to format your code when you are writing it so that it is easy to read. This is hugely subjective with SQL, and I would not recommend any particular conventions, but I cannot believe for a second you find your original code free flowing and easy to read. It took me about 10 minutes just unravel the first insert statement.
EDIT
The above is not correct, EOMONTH() is not sargable, so does not perform any better than YEAR(x) = YEAR(y) AND MONTH(x) = MONTH(y), although it is still a bit simpler. If you want a truly sargable predicate you will need to create a start and end date using #tdate, so you can use:
DATEADD(MONTH, DATEDIFF(MONTH, '19000101', #tdate), '19000101')
to get the first day of the month for #tdate, then almost the same forumla, but add months to 1st February 1900 rather than 1st January to get the start of the next month:
DATEADD(MONTH, DATEDIFF(MONTH, '19000201', #tdate), '19000201')
So the following:
DECLARE #Tdate DATE = '2019-10-11';
SELECT DATEADD(MONTH, DATEDIFF(MONTH, '19000101', #tdate), '19000101'),
DATEADD(MONTH, DATEDIFF(MONTH, '19000201', #tdate), '19000201');
Will return 1st October and 1st November respectively. Putting this back in your original query would give:
WHERE NOT EXISTS
( SELECT 1
FROM tbl_bill AS tb
WHERE date_month >= DATEADD(MONTH, DATEDIFF(MONTH, '19000101', #tdate), '19000101'),
AND date_month < DATEADD(MONTH, DATEDIFF(MONTH, '19000201', #tdate), '19000201')
AND tb.holdingNo = h.holdinNo
AND (tb.update_by IS NOT NULL OR tb.ispay=1)
);

Understanding a SQL Statement

I'm trying to modify a stored procedure on a Microsoft SQL server that is used to get data for a SSRS table. It currently filters by a few parameters, one of them "Analyst" but I would like for the query to return the analyst as well to the report so if you leave the parameter empty it would you could still see what analyst was assigned the ticket
This is the code used to find the analyst info, how can I edit it to allow me to return the Analyst display name as well?
LEFT OUTER JOIN(
SELECT
Analyst.UserName AS AnalystASURITE,
Analyst.DisplayName AS DisplayName,
Analyst.UserDimKey,
WIATUFact.WorkItemDimKey
FROM
dbo.UserDim Analyst
JOIN
dbo.WorkItemAssignedToUserFactvw WIATUFact
ON Analyst.UserDimKey = WIATUFact.WorkItemAssignedToUser_UserDimKey
WHERE WIATUFact.DeletedDate IS NULL -- We only need the information for the last analyst assigned.
GROUP BY WIATUFact.WorkItemDimKey, Analyst.UserName, Analyst.DisplayName, Analyst.UserDimKey, WIATUFact.CreatedDate
) AssignedAnalystInfo
ON AssignedAnalystInfo.WorkItemDimKey = WI.WorkItemDimKey
I added
Analyst = AssignedAnalystInfo.DisplayName,
to the top of my procedure and it was correct syntax but got this error
Column 'AssignedAnalystInfo.DisplayName' is invalid in the select list because it is not contained in either an aggregate function or the GROUP BY clause.
I can add the whole procedure if that is needed but it's pretty long.

SQL LEFT JOIN Query reporting with optional parameters

I'm running a query that generates a report for an inventory system. The query takes in 6 parameters, 3 of which are optional. The query works fine if all the parameters are entered, however I can't get the query to operate correctly when one or more optional parameters are omitted.
The important parameters are #AccountNumber, #Branch, #Department, and #OrderBy. The #AccountNumber parameter is required while the other three are optional. If #Branch is omitted I would like the report to show all of the inventory in that account. Similarly, If #Department is omitted but #Branch is present I would like to show all of the inventory in that account's branch. If all three parameters are present then it will show all of the inventory in that account's branch and department. If #OrderBy is omitted then the report orders the inventory by account number ordered ascending by default. The query that I'm using is below:
USE database;
GO
CREATE PROCEDURE RetrievedList
#AccountNumber int,
#Branch nvarchar(50),
#Department nvarchar(50),
#StartDate date,
#EndDate date,
#OrderBy nvarchar(10)
AS
IF #OrderBy = 'Locator'
BEGIN
SELECT [Container].[Acct] AS [Account]
...
FROM [File] LEFT JOIN [Container]
ON [File].[BoxID] = [Container].[BoxID]
WHERE [Container].[Acct] = #AccountNumber
AND [Container].[Branch] = #Branch
AND [Container].[Dept] = #Department
AND [File].[Out_Date] IS NOT NULL
AND [File].[Out_Date] BETWEEN #StartDate AND #EndDate
ORDER BY [Container].[Loc];
END
ELSE IF #OrderBy = 'Title'
BEGIN
SELECT [Container].[Acct] AS [Account]
...
FROM [File] LEFT JOIN [Container]
ON [File].[BoxID] = [Container].[BoxID]
WHERE [Container].[Acct] = #AccountNumber
AND [Container].[Branch] = #Branch
AND [Container].[Dept] = #Department
AND [File].[Out_Date] IS NOT NULL
AND [File].[Out_Date] BETWEEN #StartDate AND #EndDate
ORDER BY [File].[Title1];
END
ELSE
BEGIN
SELECT [Container].[Acct] AS [Account]
...
FROM [File] LEFT JOIN [Container]
ON [File].[BoxID] = [Container].[BoxID]
WHERE [Container].[Acct] = #AccountNumber
AND [Container].[Branch] = #Branch
AND [Container].[Dept] = #Department
AND [File].[Out_Date] IS NOT NULL
AND [File].[Out_Date] BETWEEN #StartDate AND #EndDate
ORDER BY [Container].[Acct], [Container].[Branch], [Container].[Dept], [Container].[BoxNo], [File].[Title1];
END
GO
Keep in mind that I can't use the WHERE [Container].[Branch] = #Branch OR [Container].[Branch] = NULL approach because of the LEFT JOIN; it returns six times the records that are expected.
My typical pattern for this issue is using the IsNull operator like this:
AND [Container].[Branch] = IsNull(#Branch, [Container].[Branch])
It will compare against the parameter if passed; otherwise, it'll compare the column to itself.
#bassrek is right you can compare against itself for that matter you can create a case expression in the JOIN conditions and make things whatever value you really want. One more thing to note though if the only thing that is changing in your query is the order by why not write a series of case statments in your order by to do the ordering you desire instead of copying the same query 3 times and then changing the order by. It will make it easier to maintain your business logic should changes need to be made.
another method instead of having to compare against itself instead for performance as Sean suggests could be to use the IN operator and deal with the null:
ISNULL(#Branch,'') IN ([Container].[Branch],'')
for Example you could do the following to make #Branch, #Department, and #OrderBy optional and combine all 3 selects into a single statement:
SELECT [Container].[Acct] AS [Account]
...
FROM [File] LEFT JOIN [Container]
ON [File].[BoxID] = [Container].[BoxID]
WHERE [Container].[Acct] = #AccountNumber
AND ISNULL(#Branch,'') IN ([Container].[Branch],'')
AND ISNULL(#Department,'') IN ([Container].[Dept],'')
AND [File].[Out_Date] IS NOT NULL
AND [File].[Out_Date] BETWEEN #StartDate AND #EndDate
ORDER BY
CASE
WHEN ISNULL(#OrderBy,'') = 'Locator' THEN [Container].[Loc]
WHEN ISNULL(#OrderBy,'') = 'Title' THEN [File].[Title1]
ELSE [Container].[Acct]
END
,CASE
WHEN LEN(ISNULL(#OrderBy,'')) <> 0 THEN '1'
ELSE [Container].[Branch]
END
,CASE
WHEN LEN(ISNULL(#OrderBy,'')) <> 0 THEN '1'
ELSE [Container].[Dept]
END
,CASE
WHEN LEN(ISNULL(#OrderBy,'')) <> 0 THEN '1'
ELSE [Container].[BoxNo]
END
,CASE
WHEN LEN(ISNULL(#OrderBy,'')) <> 0 THEN '1'
ELSE [File].[Title1]
END

SQL where clause not getting filtered

I have the following query, but it is not giving any regard to the in the p.created_by =#searchBy where clause, how to correct it so that the results would be filtered according #searchBy too.
ALTER PROC [dbo].[Rptcashcollectionouter] #branchId INT,
#searchBy INT,
#strDate DATETIME=NULL,
#endDate DATETIME=NULL
AS
BEGIN
SELECT DISTINCT p.created_on AS paid_date
FROM reading re
JOIN billing_gen bg ON re.id = bg.reading_id
JOIN customer_registration cr ON bg.account_number = cr.account_number
JOIN payment p ON bg.bill_number = p.bill_number
JOIN customer_category cc ON cr.customer_category_id = cc.id
WHERE p.created_by = #searchBy
AND ( ( #strDate IS NULL )
OR Cast(Floor(Cast(p.created_on AS FLOAT)) AS DATETIME) >=
Cast(Floor(Cast(#strDate AS FLOAT)) AS DATETIME) )
AND ( ( #endDate IS NULL )
OR Cast(Floor(Cast(p.created_on AS FLOAT)) AS DATETIME) <=
Cast(Floor(Cast(#endDate AS FLOAT)) AS DATETIME) )
AND cr.branch_id = #branchId
ORDER BY p.created_on ASC;
END;
Check the value inside your procedure as below.
SELECT #branchId, #searchBy, #strDate,#endDate
And, then try to run the SQL manually with the same value. Also, make sure you have data in your table for your criteria.
Also, what exactly you are trying here ?
Cast(Floor(Cast(p.created_on AS FLOAT)) AS DATETIME)
While executing procedure, make sure you are passing properly value.
Print out all values that are coming (Just for testing).
#searchBy INT is of integer type. But i think "p.created_by =#searchBy" is a type of datetime or date , so it may also conflicts here, or display wrong result. In below line. p.created_by is treating as a datetime or date and #searchby in integer.
WHERE p.created_by = #searchBy

SQL Query Optimization

This report used to take about 16 seconds when there were 8000 rows to process. Now there are 50000 rows and the report takes 2:30 minutes.
This was my first pass at this and the client needed it yesterday, so I wrote this code in the logical order of what needed to be done, but without optimization in mind.
Now with the report taking longer as the data increases, I need to take a second look at this and optimize it. I'm thinking indexed views, table functions, etc.
I think the biggest bottleneck is looping through the temp table, making 4 select statements, and updating the temp table...50,000 times.
I think I can condense ALL of this into one large SELECT with either (a) 4 joins to the same table to get the 4 statuses, but then I am not sure how to get the TOP 1 in there, or I can try (b) using nested subqueries, but both seem really messy compared to the current code.
I'm not expecting anyone to write code for me, but if some SQL experts can peruse this code and tell me about any obvious inefficiencies and alternate methods, or ways to speed this up, or techniques I should be using instead, it would be appreciated.
PS: Assume that this DB is for the most part normalized, but poorly designed, and that I am not able to add indexes. I basically have to work with it, as is.
Where the code says (less than) I had to replace a "less than" symbol because it was cropping some of my code.
Thanks!

Don't try to guess where the query is going wrong - look at the execution plan. It will tell you what's chewing up your resources.
You can update directly from another table, even from a table variable: SQL update from one Table to another based on a ID match
That would allow you to combine everything in your loop into a single (massive) statement. You can join to the same tables for the secondary and tertiary statuses using different aliases, e.g.,
JOIN AccountStatus As TertiaryAccountStatus...AND a.StatusType = 'Tertiary Status'
JOIN AccountStatus AS SecondaryAccountStatus...AND a.StatusType = 'Secondary Status'
I'll bet you don't have an index on the AccountStatus.StatusType field. You might try using the PK of that table instead.
HTH.
First use a temp table instead of a table varaiable. These can be indexed.
Next, do not loop! Looping is bad for performance in virtually every case. This loop ran 50000 times rather than once for 50000 records, it will be horrible when you havea million records! Here is a link that will help you understand how to do set-based processing instead. It is written to avoid cursos but loops are similar to cursors, so it should help.

And (nolock) will give dirty data reads which can be very bad for reporting. If you are in a version of SQl Server higher than 2000, there are better choices.
SELECT #CollectionKey = [AccountNo] FROM #Accounts WHERE [AccountKey] = #index;
This query would benefit from a PRIMARY KEY declaration on your table variable.
When you say IDENTITY, you are asking the database to auto-populate the column.
When you say PRIMARY KEY, you are asking the database to organize the data into a clustered index.
These two concepts are very different. Typically, you should use both of them.
DECLARE #Accounts TABLE
(
[AccountKey] INT IDENTITY(1,1) PRIMARY KEY,
I am not able to add indexes.
In that case, copy the data to a database where you may add indexes. And use: SET STATISTICS IO ON
