You're getting the PackedQty = 2, because there are 2 records in OrderHeader where GroupNo = 1, and each of those has a record in the OrderDetail table with ItemNo...

It may help to have a subquery in your FROM clause to do the summing:

...

FROM

(SELECT psid.SHIP_TO_CUST_ID,

SUM(psid.QTY_SHIPPED) SHIPPING_QTY,

SUM(psid.QTY_SHIPPED * psiiu.SHIPPING_VOLUME) SHIPPING_VOLUME

I'm thinking this will work better as a table valued function rather than a view, since you'll probably want to be reporting on different dates. Maybe something like this...

You mentioned that you have 12 databases with the largest being 3 Gig. Were you expecting these to grow much larger, say 10 times as big? How long...

Here's a script that will create the script to move your nonclustered indexes back to Primary, at least for simple ones that only have one column. You may have...

Ugh, OK I think it depends on the setting of large value types out of row for the table, and digging into it deeper, it looks like the default is...

OK sorry, you're right. I misunderstood the nature of the problem.

Subqueries with IN and EXISTS serve slightly different purposes. For this situation, an EXISTS subquery would be a correlated subquery, and the IN subquery would not have to be.

D'oh! this isn't the first time I've given someone a 2005 solution to a 2000 problem, sorry about that.

Actually the DateAdd/DateDiff method seems to perform slightly better (like 6 milliseconds better over 25,000 rows) than convert to...

I'd say you're on the right idea that the queries on heap tables are causing numerous pages to be loaded because the records can be so spread out. Depending...

You'd probably be able to get better and more detailed answers on this from Microsoft's website itself:

I don't think it would make sense to do a transaction within the trigger, especially if it's just doing 1 UPDATE statement. What makes more sense is a transaction...

So what is it you are actually trying to accomplish?
