Selectivity and Estimated Row: Variable

SQL Server does not sniff for variable, it just simply uses the fixed value.

 

I'm going to use AdventureWorks 2019 in this post.

--------------------Please run this script---------------

use AdventureWorks2019

go

IF exists(select 1 from sys.tables where name='SalesOrderDetail' and schema_id=schema_id('dbo'))

      drop table SalesOrderDetail

go

select * into SalesOrderDetail from [Sales].[SalesOrderDetail]

go

create statistics iProductID ON SalesOrderDetail(productid) with fullscan

go

dbcc traceon(3604,2363)---trace flag 2363 displays more detail about the selectivity

go

--------------------Please run this script---------------

 

 

Equality(=): all density

DECLARE @pid INT = 0

SELECT * FROM SalesOrderDetail WHERE ProductID = @pid

 

 

456='All density'*card=0.003759399*121317(note, if there new rows inserted or deleted, you have to replace the 121317 with current card)

 

DBCC execution completed. If DBCC printed error messages, contact your system administrator.

Non-Equality(<>): 0.9

 

DECLARE @pid INT = 0

SELECT * FROM SalesOrderDetail WHERE ProductID <> @pid

 

 121317*0.9=109185.3, is rounded down to 109185

declare @productid int=0

select *From SalesOrderDetail where ProductID>@productid

 

121317*0.3=36395.1, is around down to 36395
