Helpful SQL Queries for measure performance of database

SQL queries are easily readable if they are in a standard SQL format; this can be achieved with the help of an online SQL formatting tool at:http://www.dpriver.com/pp/sqlformat.htm 

1. Following set of queries can be used to get various values from the database.

  • Find all columns in a Database

SELECT SC.name AS ColumnName,
       ST.name AS TableName
FROM   sys.columns SC
       INNER JOIN sys.tables ST
               ON ST.object_id = SC.object_id
ORDER  BY ST.name,
          SC.name 

  • List all the Functions in a Database


SELECT name AS function_name,
       type_desc
FROM   sys.objects
WHERE  type_desc LIKE '%FUNCTION%'; 


  • List all the Stored Procedures in a Database 

SELECT name
FROM   sys.procedures
ORDER  BY name 

  • List all the views in a Database

SELECT name
FROM   sys.views
ORDER  BY name 
  

  • List all the tables in a Database

SELECT name
FROM   sys.tables

  • Find specific column and related table names

SELECT t.name AS table_name,SCHEMA_NAME(schema_idAS schema_name,c.name AS column_name
FROM sys.tables AS 
t
INNER JOIN sys.columns c ON t.OBJECT_ID 
c.OBJECT_ID
WHERE c.name LIKE 
'%column name%'ORDER BY schema_nametable_name

  • Data type of a column


SELECT 
    c.name 'Column Name',
    t.Name 'Data type',
    c.max_length 'Max Length',
    c.precision ,
    c.scale ,
    c.is_nullable,
    ISNULL(i.is_primary_key, 0) 'Primary Key'
FROM    
    sys.columns c
INNER JOIN 
    sys.types t ON c.system_type_id = t.system_type_id
LEFT OUTER JOIN 
    sys.index_columns ic ON ic.object_id = c.object_id AND ic.column_id = c.column_id
LEFT OUTER JOIN 
    sys.indexes i ON ic.object_id = i.object_id AND ic.index_id = i.index_id
WHERE 

    c.object_id = OBJECT_ID('YourTableName')

  • Find specific column and related table names

SELECT t.name AS table_name, SCHEMA_NAME(schema_id) AS schema_name, c.name AS column_name FROM sys.tables AS t INNER JOIN sys.columns c ON t.OBJECT_ID = c.OBJECT_ID WHERE c.name LIKE '%column name%' ORDER BY schema_name, table_name
2. Queries to check if best practice is followed in SPs
SELECT routine_name,
       routine_definition
FROM   information_schema.routines
WHERE  routine_definition LIKE '%select * from%'
       AND routine_type = 'PROCEDURE' 
Note: Verify for each combination, i.e., select*from, select *from, select* from.
  • Query to identify if any SP uses IN or Not IN

SELECT routine_name,
       routine_definition
FROM   information_schema.routines
WHERE  routine_definition LIKE '% in (%'
       AND routine_type = 'PROCEDURE' 
SELECT routine_name,
       routine_definition
FROM   information_schema.routines
WHERE  routine_definition LIKE '% not in (%'
       AND routine_type = 'PROCEDURE' 
Note: Verify for each combination of IN and Not IN, i.e., ‘IN(‘, ‘ IN (‘, ‘NotIN(‘, ‘Not IN(‘, ‘Not IN (‘.
  • SP without initial comment
SELECT ROUTINE_NAME, ROUTINE_DEFINITION
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.ROUTINES
WHERE ROUTINE_DEFINITION not LIKE '%================%'
AND ROUTINE_TYPE='PROCEDURE'
3. Following queries can be used to get performace details of the database
  • CPU utilization in seconds
SELECT (total_worker_time * 1.0) / 1000000 AS CPU_Utilized_in_Seconds, text,*
FROM sys.dm_exec_query_stats
CROSS APPLY sys.dm_exec_sql_text(sql_handle)
order by CPU_Utilized_in_Seconds desc

  • To get longest running query, memory used & other details  
SELECT Top 10 SUBSTRING(qt.TEXT, (qs.statement_start_offset/2)+1,
((CASE qs.statement_end_offset
WHEN -THEN DATALENGTH(qt.TEXT)
ELSE qs.statement_end_offset
END - qs.statement_start_offset)/2)+1),
qs.execution_count,
qs.total_logical_reads, qs.last_logical_reads,
qs.total_logical_writes, qs.last_logical_writes,

FROM sys.dm_exec_query_stats qs
CROSS APPLY sys.dm_exec_sql_text(qs.sql_handle) qt
CROSS APPLY sys.dm_exec_query_plan(qs.plan_handle) qp
ORDER BY qs.total_logical_reads DESC

  • Last query ran on SQL
SELECT deqs.last_execution_time AS [Time]dest.TEXT AS [Query]
FROM sys.dm_exec_query_stats AS deqs
CROSS APPLY sys.dm_exec_sql_text(deqs.sql_handleAS dest

Making your aspx page IE compatible


We found that in some cases our site is showing some weird UI behavior, It was working fine when we are opening our site on clients local machine with http://localhost but when we use the machine name instead of the localhost like (http://machinename ) we are getting a broken UI page.
When we observer the page in IE developer tool (F12) we found that IE 10 is not able to understand the type of document and because of this we are getting the UI error.
To fix this problem we have just added a meta tag after title tag in our pages so that browser can detect correct Browser mode and document Mode
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=100" />
This way you can change the browser compatibility mode.

Happy Coding!!

javascript don't execute after partial postback

If you are doing partial postback in your page then code on $(document).ready() function will not execute.

You will experience when page loads then your javascript functionality works but after partial postback your code is not working

For resolve this issue you need to write code in following format.

Write general code in SetLocalValues() function which you want to call on $(document).ready() function

var prm = Sys.WebForms.PageRequestManager.getInstance();prm.add_endRequest(function () {//Write your code here//This function executes after partial postback so you need to call $(document).ready() functions code here});
$(document).ready(function () {        SetLocalValues();});
var prm = Sys.WebForms.PageRequestManager.getInstance();prm.add_endRequest(function () {        SetLocalValues();});function SetLocalValues() {//Write your code}
This way i have resolved javascript issue.

Happy Coding!!
