My table looks like this:
char(150) HTTP_REF,
char(250) HTTP_USER,
char(150) REMOTE_ADDR,
char(150) REMOTE_HOST,
char(150) URL,
smalldatetime TIME_STAMP
There are no indexes on this table and there are only 293,658 records total.
When I do a select like this it takes forever:
SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT REMOTE_ADDR)
Takes 2 minutes. Is there anyway to speed that up?
Thanks 8 11108
You can speed up this query with a non-clustered index on REMOTE_ADDR.

REMOTE_ADDR has duplicate values. So I added a numeric identity column and
did this:
CREATE UNIQUE NONCLUSTERED INDEX Requests_Remote Addr ON Requests
(REMOTE_ADDR, ID)
But that didn't seem to help the speed any.
Any other ideas?
Thanks.

Please post DDL, so that people do not have to guess what the keys,
constraints, Declarative Referential Integrity, data types, etc. in
your schema are. Sample data is also a good idea, along with clear
specifications. It is very hard to debug code when you do not let us
see it.
You did not so much as tell us the **name* of this table! There are
not indexes?
Does your boss -- who is paying you, unlike us who are doing your work
for you for free -- give sooooooo little to work with?
What the heck is DDL???
Didn't I give enough info in my two posts?
And what does the name matter?

> REMOTE_ADDR has duplicate values. So I added a numeric identity column
A non-unique index will optimize your COUNT(DISTINCT REMOTE_ADDR). No need
to add a unique-ifier identity column.
How many distinct values? If it is fairly high, a scan of many index leaf
nodes is needed and this might not perform much better than a table scan.
In that case, you can create a view with the aggregation and then create an
index on that view. For Example
CREATE VIEW Requests_Remote Addr
WITH SCHEMABINDING AS
SELECT REMOTE_ADDR, COUNT_BIG(*) AS CoungBig
FROM dbo.Requests
GROUP BY REMOTE_ADDR
GO
CREATE UNIQUE CLUSTERED INDEX Requests_Remote Addr_Index ON
WebLog(REMOTE_A DDR)
GO
Your query can automatically use the view index when accessing the base
table if you are using SQL 2000 Enterprise Edition. If you are using
another edition, you'll need to access the view and add the NOEXPAND hint:
SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT REMOTE_ADDR)
FROM dbo.Results_Vie w WITH (NOEXPAND)

DDL = Data Definition Laguage. That is CREATE TABLE etc. Which it appears
that you did include.
Too many SQL savvies just throw this funny TLAs(*) around them, and
don't give a damn if people they pretend to help understand them or not.
(*) TLA = Three-letter abbriviation.

Assuming that these columns are not really of fixed length, there is
quite something to win by changing char to varchar. char is fixed
length. Your row size is 854 bytes, which means that you can get at
most 9 rows per page. Thus your table requires 32628 pages @ 8192
bytes for a total of 267 MB. Which is a small table.
Say that the average length of all columns is 40 bytes. Then your average
row size is 5*(40+2) + 4 =214, giving 37 rows per page. This reduces the
size of the table to 65 MB.
The smaller the pages, the fewer pages to read, and thus the shorter the
response time.
Adding a non-clustered index as Dan suggested is of course even better
because then the table you traverse is only the index. And if you
use varchar instead that index is even smaller.
Note that I and Dan assume that your query really is
SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT REMOTE_ADDR) FROM tbl
and nothing else. If there is a WHERE clause involved that refers to
other columns, then the index is not that useful.

office computer it's fine (well, 2-4 seconds), but on the client's network, it
takes at least 5 minutes to run. Obviously not workable!
I know where the problem is, I just don't know how to fix it. The query calls
a function, and I assume it gets slow because the function runs on every
record.
So--is there a way to rewrite the function so it's quicker?...

Hi Forums,
I have a frustrating problem on my Stored Procedure. It can only proccess about 100 records in 10 minutes. I have 2 million initial records that need to processed. Meaning that with this speed i will around 200 days to finish all of them.
To make it worse, the data itself grows at least another 100 records per hour.
Really appreciated if anybody can help to speed this up.
