Subselect Query taking a long time in SQL Server 7.0

1 New Member
I have a query that I need to run on a database that is on a SQL Server 7 installation. When I run the query on that database it takes forever. If I take the same query and run it on a database that is on a SQL Server 2000 installation it runs under a minute. I was wondering if someone might be able to help me redefine the query so that it works faster under SQL Server 7 but still returns the same results. The query is:

Select DISTINCT A.ID,(Select Top 1 field1 from table1 B
where B.ID=A.ID
order by field1 desc)
as field1
from table1 A
order by ID asc

There are multiple entries for the ID column in the database but what I am looking for is the most recent field1 row only so that is why the subselect. If there is another way to do it, I would be happy to try it. Thanks in advance for the help.

Hi I using Java and JDBC to connect to MS SQL server 2000 (using the MS drivers msbase,msutil and mssqlserver.jars). Sometimes it takes a long time for statement.executeQuery to return and start returning the resultset (full DB scan can take 30-40 minutes). Does anyone know if it's possible to interupt/halt the query before

Hello, I would like to ask the about the following... PostgreSQL allows tables resulting from subselects to be renamed with an optional AS keyword whereas Oracle 9 will report an error whenever a table is renamed with the AS keyword. Furthermore, in PostgreSQL when the result of a subselect is referenced in an outer select it is required that the subselect result be named, whereas this is not true in Oracle. I wonder what standard SQL...

I have a performance problem with the following query and variations on the subselect. The EXISTS version of the first example will complete in ~10 minutes.

Okay, well what my query looks like is: SELECT id, title FROM myTable LIMIT 0, 500 This query is taking a long time and changes in time each time i run it, from 0-10 seconds. And I don't see any reason behind it. id is set as my PRIMARY index. The table has 132,000 rows, but I don't think it should be taking this long. Do you think the server is just slow? Or do you see a problem with my SQL query?

This is truly bizzare. I have a query that runs for hours in one Access db. When I import it into another Access db, it runs in minutes. I compacted and repaired the original, relinked tables etc. Nothing makes it run faster. I have imported the query in several dbs. I did find another where it appeared to run very long. Still in others it runs in minutes. Ideas? -- Message posted via AccessMonster.com...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
