Merry Christmas Dwain.Let me see. Christmas morning where you are and here you are posting on the SSC forum.
You must want that 32,000th post pretty bad!
Nah... number of posts is a nice badge but that's not why I post. SQL isn't only my job, it's a hobby. Some folks do Sudoku, cross word puzzles, video games, etc... I like figuring out SQL problems.
Me too! 😎
Happy New Year to you Jeff (and everybody else on this thread)! :hehe:
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.
