I have the following situation: I have a SQL 2008 R2 Enterprise edition where I have enabled TDE encryption in one of the databases. One of the stored procedures from the encrypted database is using a table variable (@t1), table that gets populated with almost 600K records. Then there is a select statement that uses a join between this table and another table from the encrypted database (t2), on t2 tables I have around 20 mil rows. This join takes forever to complete( last time took almost 4h). If I use instead of the table variable a tempoarary table (#t3) and do the same join the result is instant. Also if I run join between these 2 tables in another server where I do not have TDE encryption ( same SQL 2008 R2) , the join finish in seconds So did anybody encounter similar problems with table variables and encrypted databases using TDE? This is how I encrypted the database:
CREATE MASTER KEY ENCRYPTION BY PASSWORD = 'AASFA234234234as234#234#$##$'
CREATE CERTIFICATE SQLCertificate
WITH SUBJECT = 'SQL Certificate',
EXPIRY_DATE = '10/31/2020';
USE DBTest
go
CREATE DATABASE ENCRYPTION KEY
WITH ALGORITHM = AES_256
ENCRYPTION BY SERVER CERTIFICATE SQLCertificate;
ALTER DATABASE DBTest
SET ENCRYPTION ON
And this is the script that I used where _rptHousehold is a table that has 18mil records. The script never gets to the PRINT '3 ' + CONVERT(VARCHAR,GETDATE(),121), hangs on the select count(*) from @tt
PRINT '1 ' + CONVERT(VARCHAR,GETDATE(),121)
IF object_id('tempdb..#tt') IS NOT NULL
DROP TABLE #tt
declare @tt table
( [id] int IDENTITY(1,1),
TableID DECIMAL(11,0),
AdvisorID INT,
idBuild INT,
Tablename sysname,
tCreatedate datetime,
ColumnName varchar(100),
Column_ID int,
qtyValue decimal(25,9),
tModifiedDate datetime
)
INSERT INTO @tt
(TableID , AdvisorID , idBuild,Tablename, tCreatedate,ColumnName, Column_ID,qtyValue )
select TOP 600000
t.object_ID
,AdvisorID
,1635
,t.NAME
,t.Create_date
,c.Name
,c.object_ID
,CAST(RAND()* 100000 AS DECIMAL(25,9))
FROM sys.tables t CROSS JOIN sys.columns c
CROSS JOIN (SELECT DISTINCT idAdvisor AS AdvisorID FROM dbo._rptHousehold WHERE idBuild = 1635) ac
PRINT '2 ' + CONVERT(VARCHAR,GETDATE(),121)
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM @tt
PRINT '3 ' + CONVERT(VARCHAR,GETDATE(),121)
UPDATE tt
SET
qtyValue = rp.qtyAvgPAAssets
FROM @tt tt
JOIN _rptHousehold rp
ON rp.idAdvisor= tt.AdvisorID
AND rp.idBuild= tt.idBuild
PRINT '4 ' + CONVERT(VARCHAR,GETDATE(),121)
