Could anyone advice on how do I improve the
performance of the following query. Note, the problem seems to be caused by where clause.
Data (table contains a huge set of rows - 500K+, the set of parameters it's called with assums the return of 2-5K records per query, which takes 8-10 minutes currently):
USE [SomeDb]
GO
SET ANSI_NULLS ON
GO
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
GO
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Data](
[x] [money] NOT NULL,
[y] [money] NOT NULL,
CONSTRAINT [PK_Data] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED
(
[x] ASC
)WITH (PAD_INDEX = OFF, STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF, ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS = ON, ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS = ON) ON [PRIMARY]
) ON [PRIMARY]
GO
The Query
select top 10000
s.x as sx,
e.x as ex,
s.y as sy,
e.y as ey,
e.y - s.y as y_delta,
e.x - s.x as x_delta
from Data s
inner join Data e
on e.x > s.x and e.x - s.x between xFrom and xTo
--where e.y - s.y > @yDelta -- when uncommented causes a huge delay
