SYMPTOMS

When you run a stored procedure that uses some views that contain subqueries in Microsoft SQL Server 2005, the performance is slower compared to Microsoft SQL Server 2000. This problem occurs if the views use the JOIN operator.

CAUSE

This problem occurs because SQL Server 2005 generates a poor execution plan for this stored procedure. In the execution plan that SQL Server 2005 generates, SQL Server 2005 uses a Table Spool operator. The Table Spool operator returns many rows. Therefore, SQL Server 2005 takes longer to process these rows. However, in the execution plan that SQL Server 2000 generates, SQL Server 2000 uses a Filter operator. The Filter operator returns fewer rows.
