I compared view query plan with query plan if I run the same statement
from view definition and get different results. View plan is more
expensive and runs longer. View contains 4 inner joins, statistics
updated for all tables. Any ideas? 10 3915

Since you didn't share anything close to a repro, I have little idea
of you what you are doing. Since a view essential is a macro, it should
not matter that much. Then again, I've been wrong before. Anyway, it
would help if you posted the view, and the two SELECT you run.

I narrowed down to one join. Same difference in query plans. Query cost
for 1 is 5.48%, for 2 is 94.52%
My view is:
create view dbo.sf_test as
SELECT
dbo.ManagedNodes.NodeID, dbo.ManagedNodes.SubscriptionID,
CompanyAccounts.root_account_id AS ECCRootID
FROM dbo.ManagedNodes WITH (NOLOCK)
INNER JOIN dbo.accounts CompanyAccounts WITH (NOLOCK)
ON dbo.ManagedNodes.ECCRootID = CompanyAccounts.account_id
My queries are:
1.
SELECT dbo.ManagedNodes.NodeID, dbo.ManagedNodes.SubscriptionID,
CompanyAccounts.root_account_id AS ECCRootID
FROM dbo.ManagedNodes WITH (NOLOCK)
INNER JOIN dbo.accounts CompanyAccounts WITH (NOLOCK)
ON dbo.ManagedNodes.ECCRootID = CompanyAccounts.account_id
where ECCRootID=15427
2.
select NodeID, SubscriptionID, ECCRootID
from dbo.sf_test where eccrootid=15427

I will have to admit that I don't have any good answers at this
point. But I still like to ask some questions, just to check:
Exactly how do you create the view? From Query Analyzer or Enterprise
Manager? If the latter, what happens, if you run a script in QA
where you first create the view, and then run the queries?
What happens if you take out the NOLOCK hints?

so if i am understanding, if you do a select against a view, it takes a
very long time.
but if copy that exact same code into query analyzer or a stored
procedure, it goes MUCH faster.
and If I am understanding correctly the issue, there will be an index
on eccrootid.
And, if I am understanding, the view won't use the index on ECCrootid,
but everything else will.
Do I have the issue correctly? If so, yup, it does that in SS2000. You
can try compiler hints in the view to FORCE it to sue the index, but
that only works sometimes.
Best workaround is to move all your views to stored procedures, and
pass the eccrootid parameter to the sproc.
I reported this 5 years ago, adn even discussed it with Erland at that
time.
Views suck.

A VIEW is handled two ways in SQL. The text of the VIEW is "pasted"
into the query that uses it and then the parser and optimizer handle it
as if the query had been written with a derived table. The parser can
do a lot stuff at this point, so the original view text is "spread out
all over the place".
The second way is materialize the VIEW as a temporary table. The good
news is that this materialized table can be shared by multiple users,
so the overall processing time goes down, even if each user's plan is
not optimal for their query. This is a feature of larger SQL products
like Ingres, DB2 or Oracle.
Trust in the optimizer, Luke.
if you are going ot have a materialized view, why not just bite the
bullet and have a denormalized table hanging around that gets updated
all the time.
the optimizer is fine for 90 percent of the time.
View was created from Query Analyzer. If I remove nolock - same result.
Another fact - if I change condition value in where clause, for some
values it gives for the view the good query plan using index for
eccrootid.
For the query simulating the view - always good plan.

I will have admit that I am fairly stumped at this point. For this reason
I have consulted some other people offline. No promises, but keep watching
this space.
Nevertheless, you run the two queries bracketed by
set statistics profile on
set statistics profile off
If you can put that in a file as a attachment ot on web site, to avoid
that the output is mashsed in news transport, that would be great, but
anything goes.
