Indexes Overhead on DML (Insert-Update-Delete) Operations

  • [アーティクル]

Indices dramatically affect query performance. A report which can take several hours can be completed in just a few seconds with a proper index. On the other hand every index might affect DML (Insert-Update-Delete) operations, because every DML operation touches clustered index and every related nonclustered index.

To be able to see this effect I have created a demo with the results shown below. I used a copy of AdventureWorks2012.Sales.SalesOrderDetail table and insert, update, delete 100K records for each case. (I used a PC which has 8 Cores and 16 GB RAM for this demo.)

Results are clear. If you have more indices, DML operations take longer to be completed. So indices should be analyzed periodically and NonUsed or Rarely Used indices should be dropped. For this purpose you can use sys.dm_db_index_usage_stats DMV.

If you want to try the same demo you can use the script below.
