    That is about the best index. I'd put ID as an include, as it's a bit wasted in the key.

    Jeff Moden (12/27/2014)


    It's actually difficult for me to believe that the front end can't produce or use a UNION ALL

  • RE: Warning: The join order has been enforced because a local join hint is used. ( two views )

    farrukhhameed786 (12/27/2014)

  • RE: I'm confused - Consolidation upgrade to 2014

    A full set would be preferable, but since that's several steps (and probably weeks of work) away, it can be discussed and debated while getting the needed baselines.
