  • RE: Should nonclustered indexes include clustered column?

    If the index needs the clustering key to support the queries, explicitly add it. Don't rely on implicit behaviour.

  • RE: Stopping a check integrity DB job what will happen?

    It won't be due to CheckDB, it makes no changes to the DB.

    Look for other stuff that changed. Make sure stats are up to date, the usual performance troubleshooting.

    You'll also need to drop any constraints on the columns before you alter them, see books online for more detail

    And possibly indexes as well.

    As for data, offhand I...
