    Has anyone seen the last comments for Friday's featured article? I'm sorry for provoking such a bad reaction, I didn't mean to do that.

    Did I say something wrong? Was my comment too harsh?

    Nothing wrong with your comment, in fact I was about to post almost exactly the same comment when I saw yours.

    I looked but couldn't find the post. Link?

    It's here.

    I saw it but didn't notice it was a republish. Didn't comment though because I expected the author wouldn't like what I had to say. I like what Jeff has added to the thread about the proof being in the performance test.

    My thought question: Have you ever been told that your query runs too fast?

    My advice:
    INDEXing a poor-performing query is like putting sugar on cat food. Yeah, it probably tastes better but are you sure you want to eat it?
    The path of least resistance can be a slippery slope. Take care that fixing your fixes of fixes doesn't snowball and end up costing you more than fixing the root cause would have in the first place.
