I admit that for Medicare patients, as specified by the author, SSN might be valid to use (to be eligible, a person would need an SSN (or perhaps a TIN)). ...

More specifically, if you need to fully shrink a log, do something like this:
--assume you want log to be 3GB after shrink
USE database_name;
DBCC SHRINKFILE(2);
--explicitly increase the log...

SQL can usually imbed the conditions into the query plan to access the table rather than scanning the entire table first. Of course you'd have to look at the query...

This does look like something maybe outside of SQL Server?!
Although, in order to truncate the log, a checkpoint must be taken after backup. So step 4b. should be a CHECKPOINT,...

Yes, the script is 100% safe to run in a prod environment.
It does change a couple of settings for max efficiency, but first it captures the current settings and reinstates...

That looks far more like what I would expect (even with only 2 days' worth of activity).
I can tell you that (1) you have the correct clustered index (2) I...

Not much showing. Only thing you can really do for now is REORGANIZE the columnstore index(es).

Unfortunately there's very little activity against this table shown in the stats -- no more than 5 days' worth of activity. Either SQL was restarted or a change was made...

Not nearly enough to go on to analyze indexes.
If you'll run this script and post the two results from it, we can go further from there. PRIOR to running, be...

Are you partitioning the table solely to improve SELECT performance?
How is the table clustered? That is, what is the clustered index on the table now. If the clus index starts...
