今天主要介绍其中的SQL优化工具—— SQL Tuning for SQL Server
一、SQL Tuning for SQL Server简介
SQL语句的优化对发挥 数据库的最佳性能非常关键。然而不幸的是，应用优化通常由于时间和资源的因素而被忽略。SQL Tuning (SQL优化)模块可以对比 和评测特定应用中SQL语句的运行性能，提出智能化的优化建议，帮助用户 改善应用的响应时间。SQL优化模块具有非介入式SQL采集、自动优化和专家建议等功能，全面改善SQL优化工作。
二、SQL Tuning for SQL Server的使用
1、打开Quest Database Management Solutions弹出窗口如图1所示
图1
2、在红色标记处打开SQL Tuning 优化SQL
（1）建立连接。
在Quest Central主界面上的“Database”树上选择“SQL Server”，然后在下方出现的“Tools”框中选择“SQL Tuning”选项，打开“Lanch SQL Tuning for SQL Server Connections”对话框（图2、图3）。我们在这 里建立数据库服务器的连接，以后的分析工作都会在它上面完成。
图2 “建立连接”对话框
图3
双击“New Connection”图标，在弹出窗口中输入数据库的信息，单击“OK”，然后单击“Connect”即可。
（2）分析原始SQL语句 ，在单击“Connect”后将弹出一个新窗口，如图4
图4
在打开窗口的“Oriangal SQL”文本框内输入需要分析的原始SQL语句，红色标记处选择对应的数据库名，SQL语句代码如下：
原始SQL语句

dbo.Graduater_GraduaterRegist.RegistMan AS RegistMan,
dbo.Graduater_Business.ComeFrom AS ComeFrom,
dbo.Graduater_Business.Code AS Code, dbo.Graduater_Business.Status AS Status,
dbo.Graduater_Business.ApproveResult AS ApproveResult,
dbo.Graduater_Business.NewCorp AS NewCorp,
dbo.Graduater_Business.CommendNumber AS CommendNumber,
dbo.Graduater_Business.EmployStatus AS EmployStatus,
dbo.Graduater_Business.NewCommendTime AS NewCommendTime,
dbo.Graduater_Business.GetSource AS GetSource,
dbo.Graduater_Business.EmployTime AS EmployTime,

= ‘HP‘ THEN ‘华普大厦‘ WHEN dbo.Graduater_Business.ComeFrom = ‘JD‘ THEN ‘精典大厦‘
WHEN dbo.Graduater_Business.ComeFrom = ‘MC‘ THEN ‘赛马场‘ WHEN ComeFrom =
‘ZX‘ THEN ‘高指中心‘ END AS ComeFromName,
dbo.Person_Contact.Address AS Address, dbo.Person_Contact.Zip AS Zip,
dbo.Person_Contact.Telephone AS Telephone, dbo.Person_Contact.Mobile AS Mobile,
dbo.Person_Contact.Email AS Email, dbo.Person_Contact.IM AS IM,

dbo.Person_Skill.TechnicalTitle AS TechnicalTitle,
dbo.Person_Skill.ComputerLevel AS ComputerLevel,
dbo.Person_EmployPurpose.JobType AS JobType,
dbo.Person_EmployPurpose.Vocation AS Vocation,
dbo.Person_EmployPurpose.JobPlace AS JobPlace,
dbo.Person_EmployPurpose.Salary AS Salary,
dbo.Person_EmployPurpose.OnJobDate AS OnJobDate,
dbo.Person_EmployPurpose.CorpType AS CorpType,
dbo.Person_EmployPurpose.Job AS RequireJob, YEAR(GETDATE())
– YEAR(dbo.Person_BasicInfo.Birthday) AS Age,
dbo.Graduater_Business.EmployType AS EmployType,
dbo.Graduater_Business.EmployTypeCode AS EmployTypeCode,
dbo.Graduater_Business.EmployCorpType AS EmployCorpType,
CASE WHEN dbo.Graduater_Business.PrintStatus = ‘已打印‘ THEN ‘已打印‘ ELSE ‘未打印‘
END AS PrintStatus, dbo.Graduater_Business.PrintTime AS PrintTime,
CASE WHEN dbo.Graduater_Business.EmployStatus = ‘是‘ THEN ‘已就业‘ ELSE ‘未就业‘
END AS EmployStatusView
FROM dbo.Person_BasicInfo INNER JOIN
dbo.Graduater_Business ON
dbo.Person_BasicInfo.PersonID = dbo.Graduater_Business.PersonID LEFT OUTER JOIN
dbo.Graduater_GraduaterRegist ON
dbo.Graduater_Business.GradBusinessID = dbo.Graduater_GraduaterRegist.GraduaterGUID
INNER JOIN
dbo.Person_Contact ON
dbo.Person_BasicInfo.PersonID = dbo.Person_Contact.PersonID INNER JOIN
dbo.Person_Skill ON
dbo.Person_BasicInfo.PersonID = dbo.Person_Skill.PersonID INNER JOIN
dbo.Person_EmployPurpose ON
dbo.Person_BasicInfo.PersonID = dbo.Person_EmployPurpose.PersonID
然后点击工具栏上的“Execute”按钮，执行原始的SQL语句，SQL Tuning会自动分析SQL的执行计划，并把分析结果显示到界面上（图5）。 
图5 分析原始SQL语句
（3）优化SQL。
现在我们点击工具栏上的“Optimize Statement”按钮,让SQL Tuning开始优化SQL，完成后，可以看到SQL Tuning产生了19条与原始SQL等价 的优化方案（图6）。
图6 SQL优化 方案
（4）获得最优SQL。
接下来，我们来执行上面产生的优化方案，以 选出性能最佳的等效SQL语句。在列表中选择需要执行的优化方案(默认已全部选中)， 然后点击工具栏上的“Execute”按钮旁边的下拉菜单，选择“Execute Selected”。等到所有SQL运行完成后,点击界 面左方的“Tuning Resolution”按钮，
可以看到 最优的SQL已经出来啦，运行时间竟然可以提高21%！（图7）
图7 “Tuning Resolution”界面
最优的SQL语句如下：
优化后的SQL语句
dbo.Graduater_GraduaterRegist.RegistNO AS RegistNO,
dbo.Graduater_GraduaterRegist.RegistTime AS BaoDaoTime,

CASE WHEN dbo.Graduater_Business.EmployStatus = ‘是‘ THEN ‘已就业‘
ELSE ‘未就业‘ END AS EmployStatusView
FROM dbo.Person_BasicInfo
INNER JOIN dbo.Graduater_Business
ON dbo.Person_BasicInfo.PersonID = dbo.Graduater_Business.PersonID
LEFT OUTER JOIN dbo.Graduater_GraduaterRegist
ON dbo.Graduater_Business.GradBusinessID = dbo.Graduater_GraduaterRegist.GraduaterGUID
INNER JOIN dbo.Person_Contact
ON dbo.Person_BasicInfo.PersonID = dbo.Person_Contact.PersonID
INNER JOIN dbo.Person_Skill
ON dbo.Person_BasicInfo.PersonID = dbo.Person_Skill.PersonID
INNER JOIN dbo.Person_EmployPurpose
ON dbo.Person_BasicInfo.PersonID = dbo.Person_EmployPurpose.PersonID
OPTION (FORCE ORDER)
（5）学习书写专家级的SQL语句 。
通过上面的步骤，我们已经可以实现自动优化SQL语句，但更重要的是，我们还可以学习如何书写这样高性能的SQL语句。点击界面左方的“Compare Scenarios”按钮，我们可以比较优化方案和原始SQL中的任意2条SQL语句，SQL Tuning会将它们之间的不同之处以不同颜色表示出来，
还可以在下方的“执行计划”中，通过比较两条SQL语句的执行计划的不同，来了解其中的差异（图8）。
图8 “Compare Scenarios”界面
三、总结
SQL Tuning等人工智能自动SQL优化工具的出现，为我们节省出大量的时间和精力。借助这些工具的帮助，书写专家级的SQL语句将不再是难事。
