Consider this stuff IMPLEMENTED before next closing.Every year we have two folk locked in a room for days, reading thousands of numbers at each other trying to track down why some stupid totals don't match.
EXCELLENT!
Thanks so much. Chris
It is always gratifying to me when people read my articles, but hearing that the information provided will actually be used is even more so.
Thanks Chris and best of luck with it!
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.
