有在需要先整理了一下查询计划的一些奥秘。计算标量做什么以及为什么会有一个流聚合。
表值函数返回碎化XML的节点表，每个碎化行一行。当您使用键入的XML时，这些列是值，左值，左值和tid。这些列用于计算标量来计算实际值。在那里的代码看起来有点奇怪，我不能说我明白为什么它是这样的，但它的要点是函数xsd_cast_to_maybe_large返回值，并且有代码处理的情况下，当值等于和大于128个字节。
CASE WHEN datalength(
CONVERT_IMPLICIT(sql_variant,
CONVERT_IMPLICIT(nvarchar(64),
xsd_cast_to_maybe_large(XML Reader with XPath filter.[value],
XML Reader with XPath filter.[lvalue],
XML Reader with XPath filter.[lvaluebin],
XML Reader with XPath filter.[tid],(15),(5),(0)),0),0))>=(128)
THEN CONVERT_IMPLICIT(int,CASE WHEN datalength(xsd_cast_to_maybe_large(XML Reader with XPath filter.[value],
XML Reader with XPath filter.[lvalue],
XML Reader with XPath filter.[lvaluebin],
XML Reader with XPath filter.[tid],(15),(5),(0)))<(128)
THEN NULL
ELSE xsd_cast_to_maybe_large(XML Reader with XPath filter.[value],
XML Reader with XPath filter.[lvalue],
XML Reader with XPath filter.[lvaluebin],
XML Reader with XPath filter.[tid],(15),(5),(0))
END,0)
ELSE CONVERT_IMPLICIT(int,CONVERT_IMPLICIT(sql_variant,
CONVERT_IMPLICIT(nvarchar(64),
xsd_cast_to_maybe_large(XML Reader with XPath filter.[value],
XML Reader with XPath filter.[lvalue],
XML Reader with XPath filter.[lvaluebin],
XML Reader with XPath filter.[tid],(15),(5),(0)),0),0),0)
END
用于非类型化XML的相同计算标量非常简单且实际上可以理解。
CASE WHEN datalength(XML Reader with XPath filter.[value])>=(128)
THEN CONVERT_IMPLICIT(int,XML Reader with XPath filter.[lvalue],0)
ELSE CONVERT_IMPLICIT(int,XML Reader with XPath filter.[value],0)
END
如果有value超过128个字节lvalue获取来自其他value取。在非类型化XML的情况下，返回的节点表仅输出列id，值和左值。
当您使用键入的XML时，节点值的存储将根据模式中指定的数据类型进行优化。看起来它可能会以节点表中的值，左值或左值结束，具体取决于它的值是什么类型，xsd_cast_to_maybe_large可以帮助解决问题。
流聚合对来自计算标量的返回值执行min（）。我们知道，SQL Server（至少有时）确实知道，在value（）函数中指定XPath时，将只有从表值函数返回的一行。解析器确保我们正确地构建XPath，但是当查询优化器查看估计的行时，它会看到200行。用于解析XML的表值函数的基本估计值为10000行，然后使用所使用的XPath进行一些调整。在这种情况下，它最终只有200行，只有一行。对我而言，纯粹的猜测是流集合在那里来处理这种差异。它永远不会聚合任何东西，只发送返回的那一行，但它确实会影响整个分支的基数估计，并确保优化器使用1行作为该分支的估计值。当优化器选择加入策略等时，这当然非常重要。
那么100个属性如何呢？是的，如果您使用值函数100次，将会有100个分支。但是这里有一些优化要做。我创建了一个测试装置，查看使用10行以上的100个属性，查询的形状和形式是最快的。
获胜者将使用无类型的XML，并且不要使用nodes()函数粉碎r。
select X.value('(/r/@a1)[1]', 'int') as a1,
X.value('(/r/@a2)[1]', 'int') as a2,
X.value('(/r/@a3)[1]', 'int') as a3
from @T
还有避免了100个分支机构使用透视但根据您的实际查询的样子，可能是不可能的方式。来自数据透视表的数据类型必须相同。你当然可以将它们作为字符串提取出来，并转换为列表中适当的类型。它还要求您的表具有主键/唯一键。
select a1, a2, a3
from (
select T.ID, -- primary key of @T
A.X.value('local-name(.)', 'nvarchar(50)') as Name,
A.X.value('.', 'int') as Value
from @T as T
cross apply T.X.nodes('/r/@*') as A(X)
) as T
pivot(min(T.Value) for Name in (a1, a2, a3)) as P
查询计划枢轴查询，10点100的属性：
下面是结果和测试装备予使用。我测试了100个属性和10行以及所有int属性。
结果：
