  • RE: Large Table Design

    And there's a table scan:

    CONVERT(DATETIME,LEFT(CONVERT(VARCHAR, b.event_time, 120),10))

    From the SQL Server documentation, Books Online:

    sp_helpindex exposes only orderable index columns; therefore, it does not expose information about XML indexes or spatial indexes.

  • RE: Large Table Design

    Personally, based on what you're describing, I'd look into partitioning with a rolling window. You can seperate out by date into different partitions on different servers, break it up to...
