  • Reply To: Understanding creating Partition Key on a date

    You very likely already have a clustered index on the table, on ( ClaimHeaderID, ClaimLineID ).  (That's a vastly better clus key than an identity column, btw.)

    You can only have one...

    But you're going to have to include the date in the clustering key to do partitioning anyway, you might as well change the clustering first.  And that will be less...

    By far the best performance payoff for this is creating the best clustered index on the table, as coded below.  You would likely not even need to partition then.

    Clustering by the date will solve the performance issues.  Partitioning will aid performance only if you need to rebuild the table, in which case you would only need to rebuild...

    That should be fairly easy using tally tables.

    The trickier part would be excluding certain letter combinations, meaning of course you have to determine which ones to omit.  For example: 'ASS',...

  • Reply To: Understanding creating Partition Key on a date

    This should give you some idea.  With that partitioning, you can no longer have ClaimLineID as a pk (or even a stand-alone unique index/constraint).

    If you can use data compression, you...

  • Reply To: Standard edition limitations

    Not at that level.

    I believe ONLINE create/rebuild of indexes is not available in standard.

    If you're on SQL 2016 on above, data compression is still available.

    I would definitely use a conversion table.

    Personally I prefer the "A[0-9][0-9]" format.

    I agree.  Yes, MS might have good reasons for dropping the cache in those cases, but it should document that it will do that.

  • Reply To: Changing Recovery mode Purges Plan Cache

    That seems to be normal SQL Server activity, to clear the plan cache when certain ALTER DATABASE statements are executed.  Ref:
