An Urgent help required on Performance tuning

Dear All,

We use SQL Server 2000. Inorder to increase the performance archived about
2.5 million records.

However after the archival, the performance is found to be reduced as you
can see in the below comparison details. This downsizing of almost 2.5
millions records has been followed by an "update statistics" in all table
from where, records were removed.



Can anybody give us hints : what could be the the potntial reason for
non-improvement of performance.

What all tunings are yet to be done?



( We are relatively new in this area)





Performance                 Performance

After                            Before

- To reset working status for a plant                  57s

- To get the menu of pre-release:

- To select a plant     2 min 12s 2min 5s
- To pre-release the P&L2 of a plant              4 min 4s
5min 22s

Thanks and Regards

Have you done a backup and a trancate log on that db?

Have you rebuilt your indexes?

It is not always a big surprise if performance does not improve when
old data is archived.  If the tables were properly designed, the
indexes well chosen, and the queries done right, then databases can
often grow quite large without degrading performance, so it seems
reasonable that shrinking them back won't improve performance.

For performance to get worse when data is archived is unexpected.
Perhaps there was some other change at the same time that had a
significant impact.

One thing worth trying: don't just update statistics, rebuild the
indexes.  See DBCC DBREINDEX in the documentation.

As others have indicated, you need to examine your indexes.  What
percentage of your data did the archiving process represent?

Can you show a little SQL that's running slowly?

It may be the new data is not well-distributed, so after deleting the
old data, the indexes look even worse to the optimizer, and even worse
plans are chosen.  Stranger things have happened.
