Thank the Buddha for whoever came up with the idea of a Tally table in the first place! I just love 'em (but probably everybody knows that).BTW. Has anybody Googled "Tally Table" recently? Try hitting the I'm Feeling Lucky button.
For my next trick, I'll write an article "SEO for Dummies."
You're so cool Dwain.
Usually people just call me a nerd. I wish I know what made Google decide to rank that blog page so high so I could use the same trick on others.
Thanks Alan!
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.
