    maybe he was doing a select * from BillionRowTable so he could see the column names, and the error threw him off.

  • RE: Crazy Index Issue

    Probably SQL is using a cached query plan. Try doing a DBBC DROPCLEANBUFFERS.

    Note that this may impact performance while new query plans are built and cached. You can get the...

    The execution plan won't return any user data, at most it will return some tables and index info.
