下面这段摘自TOP 3 PERFORMANCE KILLERS FOR LINKED SERVER QUERIES
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. INSUFFICIENT PERMISSIONS
Without a doubt this is the number one reason for why linked server query performance suffers. Historically in order for SQL Server to take advantage of using statistics on the remote server then the login used to make the connection on the remote servers needed sufficient rights. The role needed would have been one of the following:
sysadmin
db_owner
db_ddladmin
If you don’t have sufficient permissions then you aren’t able to use stats, and this is killing your performance across that linked server connections. So for everyone that has been assigning the db_datareader role to remote logins you are sacrificing performance for security. While that may be an acceptable tradeoff in your shop, I am willing to wager that most admins have no idea about this silent performance killer.
A good example of identifying these symptoms are contained in this article: http://www.sql-server-performance.com/2006/api-server-cursors/
In SQL 2012 SP1 the permissions to view the statistics on an object have been modified so that a user with SELECT permission would be able to use the stats on the remote tables. Check this link for more details in the ‘Permissions’ section towards the bottom.
