Well as you may know, you cannot index a view with a self join. Well actually even two joins of the same table, even if it's not technically a self join.

Hi, I'm currently developing a stored procedure for a complex search in a big database. Because there are many thousand entries, that could be returned I want to use paging. Although it is working, I think it's too slow. I read a lot of posts and articles regarding pagination of SQL queries and optimizing performance. But most 'optimizat...
To optimize application speed, everyone always advises to minimize the number of queries an application makes to the database, consolidating them into fewer queries that retrieve more wherever possible. However, this also always comes with the caution that data transferred is still data transferred, and just because you are making fewer...
I'm doing some queries in Python on a large database to get some stats out of the database. I want these stats to be in-memory so other programs can use them without going to a database.

I have a query that populates this table insert into ##lookup select distinct col1,col2,... from table1...join...etc... I would like to simulate this behavior: delete from ##lookup insert into ##lookup sele...

I am sure I can improve the performance of the following findByName query of hibernate: public List<User> findByName(String name) { session.createCriteria(User.class).add(Restrictions.eq("name", name)).list(); } The bottleneck is that findByName method and I cannot use the id instead. In my case I know that the name is unique but a...

Then I "Generate Database from Model", and allow the dialog to create a new database for me, which it does successfully as 'mydatabase.mdf' in the app's App_Data directory. Then I open th...
I have a simple 4-column Excel spreadsheet that matches universities to their ID codes for lookup purposes. The file is pretty big (300k). I need to come up with a way to turn this data into a populated table in my Rails app. The catch is that this is a document that is updated now and then, so it can't just be a one-time solution. I...

I'm "upgrading" an MVC app. Previously, the DAL was a part of the Model, as a series of repositories (based on the entity name) using standard LINQ to SQL queries. Now, it's a separate project and is generated using PLINQO. Since PLINQO generates query extensions based on the properties of the entity, I started using them directly in my...
I've been working on writing a SQL statement to create a MySQL database with several default options, including default character set and default collate.

I'm running a cron job (every 15 minutes) which takes about a minute to execute. It makes lots of API calls and stores data to the database. Right now I create a mysql connection at the beginning and use the same connection through out the code. Most of the time is spent making the API calls. Will it be more efficient to create a new...
