  • Reply To: Need some quick help! How to convert function to SP

    For performance, first try converting it into an inline TVF; those get compiled directly into the code whereas a multi-line TVF does not.

    D'OH, sorry, didn't realize SQL wouldn't let you OFFLINE the db in that case.  But, one of the reasons I avoid SINGLE_USER like the plague is the issues it causes.

  • Reply To: LATCH_EX when creating a clustered index

    Again, I'd say create the clustered index before loading the table.  Use row compression, since that could save some I/O which would reduce the time needed.

    SQL does not like that where statement line.

    What specifically do you mean by that?  What error message did you get?

    Hmm, interesting.  For the nonclustered index(es)?  For a clus index create, I could see delays as SQL would have to sort the entire contents of the table.

    Rats!  Apparently RESTORE does not trigger a CREATE DATABASE event and there is no RESTORE DATABASE event, at least from what I've found so far.
