    He was afraid of the learning curve. I'm afraid of the problems they are going to have down the road as soon as more than 1 person wants to...

  • RE: String as primary key

    A non-clustered index won't necessarily result in double I/O on reads. Given a well designed non-clustered index with all required columns included, it can entirely cover the user query without...

  • RE: String as primary key

    ScottPletcher (2/27/2015)
