SQL Server HELP Required

Dear ALL,

I am using SQL Server 2000 and Visual Basic. I need to generate an summary Report. The Data for the report are taken from 12 tables. I cant retriew data from a single SQL Statement. There are about 60,000 average records in each table.

I try to do it with temp Tables.

It was successfull. But when I generate report it seams to be very slow.
and also I saw in several wesites, "Dont use Temp Tables in SQL Server"

Is there any way of doing above.

In this kind of cases What can I Do?

Pl help me.

Thank you.

Have a look on the articles of this site.
Do you use stored procedures?
Post some actual SQL code to search for improvements. I use temporary tables and they are not too much of a delay.

Thank for reply,

The code I use is as follows


CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.sp_Prepare_OutRegister_BorderTiles
@DateFrom smalldatetime,
@DateTo smalldatetime,
@FromLoc varchar(5),
@ToLoc varchar(10),
@Grade char(1)

AS

REFNO varchar(10) NULL,

I cannot test your code with actual data, I 'll just tell suggestions.
For the 1st part:

Code:

---

-- INSERT DISTINCT REF NO's --
INSERT INTO #T1(REFNO, TDate, Grade, FromLocation, ToLocation, DocType, Category)
SELECT DISTINCT REFNO, TDate, Grade, FromLocation, ToLocation, DocType, 'B' AS Category
FROM vwOUTDetails_3
WHERE (TDate >= @DateFrom) AND (TDate <= @DateTo) AND
(FromLocation = @FromLoc) AND (ToLocation = @ToLoc) AND
(Category = 'B') AND (Grade = @Grade)

-- INSERT 1 QTY --
INSERT INTO #T2(REFNO, Grade, QTY)
SELECT REFNO, Grade, SUM(Qty) AS QTY
FROM vwOUTDetails_3
WHERE (TDate >= @DateFrom) AND
(TDate <= @DateTo) AND
(Category = 'B') AND (ItemSize = '1') AND
(FromLocation = @FromLoc) AND (ToLocation = @ToLoc) AND
(Grade = @Grade)
GROUP BY REFNO, Grade

UPDATE #T1
SET QTY_1 = tt.QTY
FROM #T1 t, #T2 tt
WHERE (t.REFNO = tt.REFNO) AND
(t.Grade = tt.Grade)

DELETE FROM #T2
-- END OF 1

I think (I have not tested anything) that you do not actually need the 2nd temp table. How about smthng like

Code:

---

INSERT INTO #T1(REFNO, TDate, Grade, FromLocation, ToLocation, DocType, Category, QTY_1)
SELECT DISTINCT REFNO, TDate, Grade, FromLocation, ToLocation, DocType, Category, SUM(Qty)
FROM vwOUTDetails_3
WHERE (TDate >= @DateFrom) AND (TDate <= @DateTo) AND
(FromLocation = @FromLoc) AND (ToLocation = @ToLoc) AND
(Category = 'B') AND (Grade = @Grade)
GROUP BY REFNO, Grade
HAVING ItemSize = '1'

---

Each time you change ItemSize if I get it right. There may be a way to write all these with one query. Someone who is strong with SQL may help here. I'll check it later and see if I can come up with only one query.

That is a good idea.

Thank you very much panayotisk
