Hi,
I am using Sql 2005 SP1 and merge replication on a database. One of the tables is used for an audit trail and has a dynamic filter applied so that it doesn't replicated every audit trail record to every subscriber.
Our sp's tend to insert records in to the audit trail table when someone inserts a new product (for example). The problem is that just recently the insert of new products has been taking >2 seconds, this is relatively slow compared to how it used to be 2 months ago.
Using profiler I have found that it is the insert in to the audit trail table that is taking all the time, and this is taking a long time because of something replication is doing. From profiler I have found that the following statement is the culprit. This is something that replication is doing but why it take so long I don't know:
select count(*) from [dbo].[MSmerge_repl_view_000CC979122E4C88AF27FE08CDCC84EB_B5F96F71937D4D9A949DEECFE540D0C4] [AUDIT_TRAIL_DETAIL] with (rowlock)
where [RowGUID] in
(select [AUDIT_TRAIL_DETAIL].[RowGUID] from inserted [AUDIT_TRAIL_HEADER],
[dbo].[MSmerge_repl_view_000CC979122E4C88AF27FE08CDCC84EB_B5F96F71937D4D9A949DEECFE540D0C4] [AUDIT_TRAIL_DETAIL] with (rowlock)
where (AUDIT_TRAIL_HEADER.ID = AUDIT_TRAIL_DETAIL.FKAuditTrailHeaderID))
The AUDIT_TRAIL_DETAIL table currently has 1.1 million row in it.
Can anyone give me any clues as to what I should do help improve the performance once again Should I stop filtering on this table
Thanks for your help
