Why you shouldn’t use linked servers?

Linked Servers are an easy way to allow direct access between different SQL Servers. It is especially dangerous if your linked servers use a login that has the sysadmin role at the remote server. But really, any login with higher permissions than the current user, could mean bad news.

Why are linked server queries so bad?

Problem (the bad) When SQL Server runs query with Linked Server, it will use the least optimal execution plan due to lack of knowledge of those remote tables. Meaning, your local SQL Server is clueless on remote table indexes and statistics, so it might use incorrect joining mechanism and might be grossly inefficient.

Why did I add a case evaluation to the second query?

Hold up there pardner. Let’s set up a full test: I added the extra CASE evaluation in the second query in order to get a different query hash value. Here are the execution plans from the two queries:

What is the performance impact of having multiple case statements?

The case statements are going to be much less of a factor than the joins in the WHERE clause. The main driver of performance in SQL is I/O — reading the data from disk. I think of it as two orders of magnitude more important than the processing going on in rows.

Is it better to select from a table or a view?

Select from a View or from a table will not make too much sense. Of course if the View does not have unnecessary joins, fields, etc. You can check the execution plan of your queries, joins and indexes used to improve the View performance. You can even create index on views for faster search requirements.

Do you have a case statement in SQL?

There is no case statement in SQL. We have a case expression; expressions return a single scaler value. Columns are not fields; this is a totally different concept.
