  • RE: Execution plan question

    I thought that went without saying, but yes I should have specified! 🙂 Table-Valued Functions will be many times faster than Scalar Functions!

  • RE: High Fragmentation Index ...

    It doesn't look all that useful. However what time frame does that index usage stats data cover?

  • RE: Short Join Syntax?

  • RE: Adding NDF Increases Fragmentation?

    No. Fragmentation of an index is a measure of how much the logical order and physical order of an index differ. It's caused by page splits and database shrink operations.

    Maybe I'm missing something, but the way I did it (SQL 2005)...
