What is this?
Reporting procedures return larger read-only result sets tuned for dashboards — often on replicas.
Why should you care?
ShopNest ops dashboards must not lock OLTP checkout tables.
See it live — copy this example
Use a .NET console or API project with SQL Server LocalDB. Run dotnet run after pasting.
CREATE OR ALTER PROCEDURE dbo.usp_Report_DailyGmv @Day DATE
AS
BEGIN
SET NOCOUNT ON;
SELECT SUM(Total) AS Gmv, COUNT(*) AS Orders
FROM Orders WHERE CAST(OrderDate AS DATE) = @Day AND Status <> N'Cancelled';
ENDWhat happened?
- Date filters should be sargable (range, not CAST on column when possible).
- Run on replica connection string.
Practice next
- Create daily GMV proc.
- Call from C#.
- Point reports at replica CS.
- GMV by Status.
- Add WITH (NOLOCK) only if you accept dirty reads — prefer replica.
Remember
Read-only report procs. Sargable dates. Use replicas.
ShopNest daily GMV
Dashboard calls usp_Report_DailyGmv.
Outcome: Checkout primary stays calm.
