I have faced the same situation in an interview where interviewer asked me a question on triggers.I tried my hard to convince him that we have INSTEAD OF and AFTER triggers in MS sql-server, and he was stuck to his point that we also have a BEFORE trigger in MS sql-server.
In cases like that, after you've made your initial point that you don't think they exist, it is probably best to stick with something non-committal like:
"I'd be fascinated to learn about BEFORE triggers from you some time, but for now I can't comment further because I have no experience with them."
One of the guys on this forum has a saying in his signature link that goes something like:
"Never argue with an idiot. They'll drag you down to their level and they've got a lot more experience operating there."
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.
