Table Spool in simple INSERT...SELECT causing performance problems

Hello,

I have a table which has a few million records. It has an IDENTITY
column that serves as the primary key. In a part of our application
here, a previous record may need to be copied as a new row. Within a
stored procedure exists SQL like:

INSERT INTO [My_DB].[dbo].[My_Table] (col1, col2, col3, ...)
SELECT @var1, col2, col3, ...
FROM My_Table
WHERE my_id = @my_id --This column is the IDENTITY column PK

For some reason, this query is using a Table Spool, and I can't figure
out why. I know the definition of a Table Spool (records saved in
tempdb so that rewinds can use the temp table), but I don't understand
why it is being used here or how to prevent it.

I've tried rebuilding all of the indexes on the table and that did not
help.

I tried creating a scaled-down example that reproduces the problem,
but I could not and it's not practical to post the table definition
and data to reproduce the problem here. If there is further
information that would help someone determine the reason for the Table
Spool or something that you would like me to check or test, please let
me know.

Thanks!
-Tom.

What causes the query optimizer to choose a table spool\lazy spool action in the execution plan? The explanation of "optimize rewinds" makes little sense because my query never comes back to that table. I'm going to have to change the query but it would be helpful if I knew what I should be trying to avoid. David

Does anyone know of a way to execute sql code from a dynamically built text field? Before beginning, let me state that I know this db architecture is built solely for frustration and I hope to make it better soon. Unfortunately, there is never a non-crucial time in which we can do an upgrade, so we are stuck for now. Point 1: There are multiple tables: students, courses, cross-reference

Hello. I am administering a SQL Server (Enterprise Edition on Windows 2003) from some month and can't understand what is going on in the latest week (when the db grow a lot). The DB is around 250G, and has one table with 1 billion rows. It is performing in a decent way, but can't understand why a particolar table has strong performance problem.

Hello, I am currently working on a monthly load process with a datamart. I originally designed the tables in a normalized fashion with the idea that I would denormalize as needed once I got an idea of what the performance was like. There were some performance problems, so the decision was made to denormalize. Now the users are happy with the query performance, but loading the tables is much more difficult. Specifically...

Our application is having an issue where a query in a stored procedure periodically gets a bad plan with a Lazy Spool Operator that changes the query execution time from 5ms to 900ms and kills our CPU. We are running x64 SQL 2005 SP2 on Windows 2003 SP2. We thought it might be parameter sniffing that was causing the bad plan, so we re-wrote the query to disable parameter sniffing. Unfortunately, that made the problem worse as we always...
