Specifically, I am referring to this sentence:[quote]Which one of the following things that is not usually used to improve data warehouse query performance?[/quote]That sentence sounds like it's asking: [i]Which one of the following would help query performance but is not usually used?[/i] However, that is not what the question is really asking.I think removal of the word 'that' in the quoted QotD sentence above would help improve readability.Tue, 05 Feb 2008 06:54:53 GMTJeff Delucahttp://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic451466-292-1.aspxHi Ed, the word "not" was meant to be there.3 of the answers are usually used to improve DW performance (summary tables, partitioning and index), whilst 1 is not (backup).Kind regards,VincentTue, 05 Feb 2008 06:26:42 GMTVincentRainardihttp://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic451466-292-1.aspxThe question says 'not usually used to improve ... performance'. Is this a typo?I would have put the right answer of 'summary tables' on the side of 'usually used'.Tue, 05 Feb 2008 05:37:55 GMTEdVassiehttp://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic451466-292-1.aspxComments posted to this topic are about the item [B]<A HREF="/questions/61999/">Data Warehousing Performance</A>[/B]Tue, 05 Feb 2008 00:07:23 GMTVincentRainardi
