Therefore, it starts looking for the substring from the 8 th character position. In this example, we search the position for the pattern SQ followed by Shack in the string.
It is similar to a LIKE operator. It finds out the position of the character without an alphabet, number or space. It checks for the pattern — frame in the [Name] column of the [Production]. In many cases, we combine these functions to produce the required result. For example, Suppose your table holds mail addresses for your customer. You want to fetch the domain names such as gmail. Similarly, suppose you have a table that employee joining date, time and day.
Compute scalar operator performs computation and returns the value of this computation. This operator represented with the following image on the execution plans.
The property detail of this operator gives detailed information about the performed function to us. Now we will execute the following query and analyze the property details of the compute scalar operator. Defined Values subattribute shows every detail about the performed scalar-valued function for the following query on the execution plan.
The LEFT function extracts the given character starting from the left side of the input string. Now we will execute the following query that includes the LEFT function and analyze the execution plan. For example, the following two functions will return the same values.
Now we will execute the following query and analyze the execution plan. The Number of Rows Read option shows how many rows have been read by the operator and for this example Clustered Index Scan operator has read the whole table and this situation is not a good option for the performance.
Actual Number of Rows indicates how many rows transferred to the next operator. For this execution plan, this value is Actual Logical Reads value indicates how many pages read from the buffer pool.
Now we will make a very simple calculation for this value:. This amount is not small for a query. SQL Server does not support function-based indexes so it is a bit complicated to improve the performance of the queries that include scalar-valued function in the WHERE clauses. However, we can create computed columns and create indexes for the computed columns. So that we can improve the performance of these types of queries.
Now we will apply this solution method to our example and observe performance improvement. Examples might be simplified to improve reading and learning.
