SQL Query Help - TOO Slow
I have the following SQL statement that takes nearly 1 minute to execute on a Windows 2000 SQL server. The database have over a million records, but this query only pulls about 630 of them, but takes way too long. IT basically takes returns a set of daily records temperature measurements and a depth of a particular UNID. One day could have several readings hence the AVG and some days may be NULL where a measurement wasn't done.. so it makes the dates, joins them and displays the records..
SELECT CONVERT(varchar(6), MakeDates_2.thedate, 101) + CONVERT(varchar(4), MakeDates_2.thedate, 120) AS DateTime, 1.8 * CAST(AVG(S.TEMP) + 32 AS int) AS TEMP,
ROUND(AVG(S.[Depth Below Measuring Point]), 3) AS [Depth Below Measuring Point]
FROM dbo.MakeDates('2/2/2007', '10/19/2008') AS MakeDates_2 LEFT OUTER JOIN
(SELECT UNID, TEMP, [Depth Below Measuring Point], CAST(CONVERT(varchar(10), DATE, 120) AS datetime) AS DATETIME2
FROM GWLMCD) AS S ON S.UNID LIKE 'BUT00014' AND S.DATETIME2 = MakeDates_2.thedate
GROUP BY MakeDates_2.thedate
ORDER BY MakeDates_2.thedate
SELECT CONVERT(varchar(6), MakeDates_2.thedate, 101) + CONVERT(varchar(4), MakeDates_2.thedate, 120) AS DateTime, 1.8 * CAST(AVG(S.TEMP) + 32 AS int) AS TEMP,
ROUND(AVG(S.[Depth Below Measuring Point]), 3) AS [Depth Below Measuring Point]
FROM dbo.MakeDates('2/2/2007', '10/19/2008') AS MakeDates_2 LEFT OUTER JOIN
(SELECT UNID, TEMP, [Depth Below Measuring Point], CAST(CONVERT(varchar(10), DATE, 120) AS datetime) AS DATETIME2
FROM GWLMCD) AS S ON S.UNID LIKE 'BUT00014' AND S.DATETIME2 = MakeDates_2.thedate
GROUP BY MakeDates_2.thedate
ORDER BY MakeDates_2.thedate
Are there indexes on your date fields? Also, you're joining on a date field returned from a subquery...which cannot be fast.
ASKER
There is an index for the UNID and another for Date... This same query runs on another database with about 30K records and is very fast, I just modified it to pull the same data type from another database... I am open to any suggestions as I gotta get this down to a few seconds at most.

Here is the Table info
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[GWLMCD](
[UNID] [nvarchar](20) NULL,
[WELL ID] [nvarchar](255) NULL,
[DATE] [smalldatetime] NULL,
[Depth Below Measuring Point] [float] NULL,
[GroundWater Elevation] [float] NULL,
[ID] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
[TIME] [nvarchar](20) NULL,
[Depth Below Ground Surface] [float] NULL,
[Reference Elevation] [nvarchar](50) NULL,
[TEMP] [float] NULL

GWLMCD Is the table w/ the million records?
it is this statement that is absolutely killing you:
LEFT OUTER JOIN
(SELECT UNID, TEMP, [Depth Below Measuring Point], CAST(CONVERT(varchar(10), DATE, 120) AS datetime) AS DATETIME2
FROM GWLMCD)

Ye it is...
I am not a SQL Guru, I just took a query that I knew was working and changed it for this table.. if you could just copy and paste a solution that would really help me I have no idea where to start with this....
Thanks
