Este é o SQL Server 2008 R2 SP2. Eu tenho 2 mesas. Ambos são idênticos (dados e indexação), exceto que a primeira tabela possui uma coluna VALUE nvarchar(max)
e a segunda possui a mesma coluna que nvarchar(800)
. Esta coluna está incluída em um índice não clusterizado. Também criei um índice em cluster nas duas tabelas. Também reconstruí os índices. O comprimento máximo da string nesta coluna é 650.
Se eu executar a mesma consulta em ambas, a nvarchar(800)
tabela será consistentemente mais rápida, muitas vezes duas vezes mais rápida. Certamente parece que está derrotando o propósito de "varchar". A tabela contém mais de 800.000 linhas. A consulta deve analisar cerca de 110.000 linhas (que é o que o plano estima).
De acordo com as estatísticas io, não há leituras de lob, então tudo parece estar em linha. Os planos de execução são os mesmos, exceto que há uma pequena diferença na porcentagem de custo entre as duas tabelas e o tamanho estimado da linha é maior com nvarchar(max)
(91 bytes vs 63 bytes). O número de leituras também é praticamente o mesmo.
Por que a diferença?
