  • RE: AVG days between max and second last date

    I don't think "AVG" really has any meaning for the diff between only 2 dates?!

    SELECT cust_id, DATEDiff(day,Min(visit_date),Max(visit_date))

    Try forcing a MERGE join, see if that helps significantly.  If it does, then go ahead and cluster the SOH table on (  IT_ID, ST_ID, DateID ).  Yes, that means the rows...

  • RE: Ways of tuning queries on columnstore index (in SQL Server 2014)

    Partition the clus columnstore index on that date.  Then SQL can eliminate partitions with non-matching dates.  I partition by month on many of our very large tables, but you might...

    It's definitely possible to do.  You'll most likely need an index on the table to support the lookup.  You might be able to use a filtered index, but I can't...

  • RE: simple select * from table takes around 15 secons

    Still seems too long for only 76K rows.

    1) Check fragmentation on the clus index. If it's bad, the index may need reorganized or rebuilt.
    2) Compress the table...

    Your clustered index is fine.

    Your clustered index is fine.
    You really don't need the temp tables for this specific query, but if building them is not taking much time, then that's OK too.

    For testing a datetime/datetime2 column for the current day, you should do this:

  • RE: Analyzing Existing MS SQL Database for Data Types and Sizing

    Back in the day, I would do a pattern search to determine eligible data types:
