Missing Rows when running SELECT in SQL Server












6














I have a simple select statement. It's basically 2 CTE's, one includes a ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY, then a join from these into 4 other tables. No functions or anything unusual.



WITH Safety_Check_CTE AS 
(
SELECT
Fact_Unit_Safety_Checks_Wkey,
ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY [Dim_Unit_Wkey], [Dim_Safety_Check_Type_Wkey]
ORDER BY [Dim_Safety_Check_Date_Wkey] DESC) AS Check_No
FROM
[Pitches].[Fact_Unit_Safety_Checks]
), Last_Safety_Check_CTE AS
(
SELECT
Fact_Unit_Safety_Checks_Wkey
FROM
Safety_Check_CTE
WHERE
Check_No = 1
)
SELECT
COUNT(*)
FROM
Last_Safety_Check_CTE lc
JOIN
Pitches.Fact_Unit_Safety_Checks f ON lc.Fact_Unit_Safety_Checks_Wkey = f.Fact_Unit_Safety_Checks_Wkey
JOIN
DIM.Dim_Unit u ON f.Dim_Unit_Wkey = u.Dim_Unit_Wkey
JOIN
DIM.Dim_Safety_Check_Type t ON f.Dim_Safety_Check_Type_Wkey = t.Dim_Safety_Check_Type_Wkey
JOIN
DIM.Dim_Date d ON f.Dim_Safety_Check_Date_Wkey = d.Dim_Date_Wkey
WHERE
f.Safety_Check_Certificate_No IN ('GP/KB11007') --option (maxdop 1)


Sometimes it returns 0, 1 or 2 rows. The result should obviously be consistent.



I have ran a profile trace whilst replicating the issue and my session was the only one in the database.



I have compared the Actual execution plans and they are both the same, except the final hash match returns the differing number of rows.



I cannot replicate if I use MAXDOP 0.



Plan Comparison

    In the CTE's you are finding the [Fact_Unit_Safety_Checks_Wkey] that's associated with the most resent row for any given [Dim_Unit_Wkey], [Dim_Safety_Check_Type_Wkey] combination... With no regard for weather or not [Safety_Check_Certificate_No] is equal to 'GP/KB11007'.



    Then, in the outer query, you are filtering results based on [Safety_Check_Certificate_No] = 'GP/KB11007'.



    So, unless the most recent [Fact_Unit_Safety_Checks_Wkey] happens to have [Safety_Check_Certificate_No] = 'GP/KB11007', the data is going to be filtered out.

    • @paparazzo - Yes, assuming that there are no changes to the underlying data, the query should yield repeatable results. But, I don't see anything in the OP that would indicate that is the case.

    • I saw your answer. A unique set of date values will always sort in the same order. That said, it's entirely possible that that the same date key is exists on multiple rows, essentially creating ties and those ties could be getting broken differently with each execution. Assuming that's the case, my answer still applies. As far as trusting the what the OP is or isn't doing... I don't take anything for granted.

            • @paparazzo - Yes, assuming that there are no changes to the underlying data, the query should yield repeatable results. But, I don't see anything in the OP that would indicate that is the case.

            • See my answer. If the OP states results should be the same then I trust they are not changing data.

            • I saw your answer. A unique set of date values will always sort in the same order. That said, it's entirely possible that that the same date key is exists on multiple rows, essentially creating ties and those ties could be getting broken differently with each execution. Assuming that's the case, my answer still applies. As far as trusting the what the OP is or isn't doing... I don't take anything for granted.

            • If the most recent row is repeatable then the count should repeat.
