SQL Long running query / maxing out server resource e.g. RAM/CPU - sql

Question

I originally posted the following thread SQL Query - long running / taking up CPU resource
My issue was the SARGABILITY of my query, having addressed that (see the previous thread but in short I was using a lot of ISNULL functions which were bypassing the index scans) I am now having further issues.
My SQL server settings are as below:
cost threshold for parallelism
5
max degree of parallelism
0
My query still takes 2:13 to run and causes CPU / Memory spikes, I have a largely capable server e.g. 64GB RAM so resource is not the issue. See query below:

Answer 1

I have some suggestions for you to reduce the execution time:
if the email is empty for the master record, you don't need to run the sub query:
so instead of this statement:
AND NOT EXISTS (
SELECT u.Id FROM Unsubscribe u
WHERE (u.EmailAddress = R.Email OR (u.EmailAddress IS NULL AND R.Email IS NULL))
)
use below statement:
AND (NOT EXISTS (
SELECT u.Id FROM Unsubscribe u
WHERE u.EmailAddress = R.Email )
) or R.Email IS NULL) -- you dont need to check is it is null
I recommend you to reduce or notation as much as you can, please try to use union instead of OR. You can find some examples in below link:
SQL Performance UNION vs OR
as I understood you can use JOBID to filter SMTP_Production records, If you can do so:
instead of this statement
AND NOT EXISTS (
SELECT SMTP.Id FROM SMTP_Production SMTP
WHERE SMTP.EmailStatus = 'PICKUP' AND SMTP.CandidateId = R.CandidateId -- can we add SMTP.JobId = R.JobId
)
you can use below
AND NOT EXISTS (
SELECT SMTP.Id FROM SMTP_Production SMTP
WHERE SMTP.EmailStatus = 'PICKUP' AND SMTP.CandidateId = R.CandidateId and SMTP.JobId = R.JobId
)
final version of the query might be like this:
WITH CTE AS
(
SELECT R.Id AS ResultId,
r.JobId,
r.CandidateId,
R.Email,
CAST(0 AS BIT) AS EmailSent,
NULL AS EmailSentDate,
'PICKUP' AS EmailStatus,
GETDATE() AS CreateDate,
C.Id AS UserId,
C.Email AS UserEmail,
NULL AS Subject
FROM RESULTS R
INNER JOIN JOB J ON R.JobId = J.Id
INNER JOIN Consultant C ON J.UserId = C.Id
WHERE
J.DCApproved = 1
AND (J.Closed <> 1)
AND (R.Email <> '' OR R.Email IS NOT NULL)
AND (R.EmailSent <> 1)
AND R.EmailSentDate IS NULL -- email has not been sent
AND (R.EmailStatus = '' OR R.EmailStatus IS NULL)
AND (R.IsEmailSubscribe <> 'False')
-- not already been emailed for this job
AND NOT EXISTS (
SELECT SMTP.Email
FROM SMTP_Production SMTP
WHERE SMTP.JobId = R.JobId AND SMTP.CandidateId = R.CandidateId
)
-- not unsubscribed
AND ((NOT EXISTS (
SELECT u.Id FROM Unsubscribe u
WHERE u.EmailAddress = R.Email )
) or R.Email IS NULL) )
AND NOT EXISTS (
SELECT SMTP.Id FROM SMTP_Production SMTP
WHERE SMTP.EmailStatus = 'PICKUP' AND SMTP.CandidateId = R.CandidateId and SMTP.JobId = R.JobId
)
AND C.Id NOT IN (

AND J.Id NOT IN (

)
