在 SQL Server 2014 Developer 中生成 20 亿行的有效方法

长话短说;我正在测试一个通过网络连接从表中清除条目的系统，预计该功能最多可处理超过 20 亿个条目。

我需要对此进行压力测试才能确定。

这是我的测试脚本（最多可以在十分钟内生成 980 万个。）

DECLARE @I INT=0

WHILE @I <2000000001
BEGIN
    INSERT INTO "Table here"
    VALUES(@I)  

    SET @I=@I+1
END

任何人都可以提出任何建议，或者让我了解在这种情况下我的测试环境的上限可能是什么？

下面是批量10M使用CROSS JOIN的方法。在我的台式机上，大约 6 分钟就加载了 20 亿行。

--create and load 2B row table using cross join CTE source
CREATE TABLE dbo.TableHere(
    ID int NOT NULL
);

DECLARE
      @TargetRowCount int = 2000000000
    , @RowsInserted int = 0;

WHILE @RowsInserted < @TargetRowCount
BEGIN

    WITH 
         t10 AS (SELECT n FROM (VALUES(0),(0),(0),(0),(0),(0),(0),(0),(0),(0)) t(n))
        ,t1k AS (SELECT 0 AS n FROM t10 AS a CROSS JOIN t10 AS b CROSS JOIN t10 AS c)
        ,t10m AS (SELECT ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY (SELECT 0)) AS num FROM t1k AS a
        CROSS JOIN t1k AS b CROSS JOIN t10 AS c)
    INSERT INTO dbo.TableHere WITH(TABLOCKX)
        SELECT num + @RowsInserted
        FROM t10m;

    SET @RowsInserted += @@ROWCOUNT;

    DECLARE @CurrentTimestampString varchar(1000) = FORMAT(SYSDATETIME(),'yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss');
    RAISERROR('%s: %d of %d rows inserted', 0, 0, @CurrentTimestampString, @RowsInserted, @TargetRowCount) WITH NOWAIT;

END;
GO

考虑创建一个具有增量值的永久统计表。这不仅会提高测试数据生成的性能，而且可以重用物化计数表来促进各种其他常见任务，例如生成增量值范围、日期时间序列等。

通过避免每次迭代都重复交叉联接，利用计数表将我的机器的性能提高了 30%（4.5 分钟）。EDIT:处理器升级后缩短至 2.5 分钟（英特尔 i9-12900K 处理器）。

SET NOCOUNT ON;
--create and load 10M row tally table
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS dbo.Tally;
CREATE TABLE dbo.Tally(
     Num int NOT NULL CONSTRAINT PK_Tally PRIMARY KEY
);
WITH 
     t10 AS (SELECT n FROM (VALUES(0),(0),(0),(0),(0),(0),(0),(0),(0),(0)) t(n))
    ,t1k AS (SELECT 0 AS n FROM t10 AS a CROSS JOIN t10 AS b CROSS JOIN t10 AS c)
    ,t10m AS (SELECT ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY (SELECT 0)) AS num FROM t1k AS a
    CROSS JOIN t1k AS b CROSS JOIN t10 AS c)
INSERT INTO dbo.Tally WITH(TABLOCKX) (Num) 
    SELECT num 
    FROM t10m;
ALTER INDEX PK_Tally ON dbo.Tally REBUILD WITH (FILLFACTOR=100);
GO

--create and load 2B row table using tally table source
CREATE TABLE dbo.TableHere(
    ID int NOT NULL
);

DECLARE
      @TargetRowCount int = 2000000000
    , @RowsInserted int = 0;

WHILE @RowsInserted < @TargetRowCount
BEGIN

    INSERT INTO dbo.TableHere WITH(TABLOCKX) (ID)
        SELECT Num + @RowsInserted
        FROM dbo.Tally;

    SET @RowsInserted += @@ROWCOUNT;

    DECLARE @CurrentTimestampString varchar(1000) = FORMAT(SYSDATETIME(),'yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss');
    RAISERROR('%s: %d of %d rows inserted', 0, 0, @CurrentTimestampString, @RowsInserted, @TargetRowCount) WITH NOWAIT;

END;
