SQL Server : Select INTO From Pivot Running Slowly










0















SOLVED: I found the problem and was an easy fix. My own fault really, the logs for tempdb was at 99%, so I shrank them back down to 5MB and the query runs in seconds.



I've written a pivot to transpose a range of values into columns. When just running the query without inserting the data into any tables, it runs in just under 1 minute. When I add an INTO ##CandidateSummaryTable it takes ~2 hours and 48 minutes. I have no idea why.



The table contains about 1.4million records, I have put a clustered index on CandidateID, QuestionAnswerDate and Question which reduced the time significantly but not enough.



The estimated query plan suggests it would take even longer if I



INSERT INTO ##CandidateSumamryTable 
SELECT ...*


instead so I've not run that yet.



The estimated query plan for the SELECT INTO ... puts the Table Insert at 98%.



Is there a better way to transpose this data?



This is the query:-

  • for test purpose limit the data to say 1 month or 1 week and first do insert into temp table and then using the temp table to pivot data. Also create the table definition and actually declaring Primary key values on desired columns to better keep your data sorted in tempDB, BUT following the same route of first inserting data into temp table and then doing pivot.
