O conselho atual para a maneira mais eficiente de comparar dois grandes conjuntos de resultados / linhas parece ser o uso do EXCEPT
operador. Este script SQL independente abaixo fica muito ineficiente à medida que os tamanhos das linhas aumentam (altere os últimos valores). Eu tentei encontrar entradas exclusivas em uma tabela combinada, mas sem melhorias.
DECLARE @first AS INT, @step AS INT, @last AS INT;
-- This script is comparing two record sets using EXCEPT
-- I want to find additions from OLD to NEW
-- As number of rows increase performance gets terrible
-- I don't have to use two tables. I could use one combined table but I want the same result as quickly as possible
-- Compare 100 to 110 rows - 0 seconds
-- Compare 1000 to 1010 rows - 1 seconds
-- Compare 10000 to 10010 rows - 16 seconds
-- Compare 100000 to 100010 rows - ABORT after 8 minutes (tables are populated in 18 seconds)
DECLARE @temptableOLD TABLE ([Result1] int);
SET @step = 1; SET @first = 1; SET @last = 100000
WHILE(@first <= @last) BEGIN INSERT INTO @temptableOLD VALUES(@first) SET @first += @step END
DECLARE @temptableNEW TABLE ([Result1] int);
SET @step = 1; SET @first = 1; SET @last = 100010
WHILE(@first <= @last) BEGIN INSERT INTO @temptableNEW VALUES(@first) SET @first += @step END
select * from @temptableNEW
except
select * from @temptableOLD
