  • RE: Speed up following query (Second opinion needed)

    Maybe as below? I think you've overly complicated the date selection and caused the duplicates.

    For best performance, the Diskspace_Global table should probably be clustered either on Date_ (with the...

  • RE: CASE Statement with Date

    First, create a "standard" tally table (a table of sequential numbers). I can't provide code because the filter thinks it's "sql injection". After creating the tally table, then...

    I think I understand. You can get all the collectors from a single query, but you have to include the collector in a GROUP BY:

  • RE: Database page Could not be processed?

    Script out that index first so you can easily re-create it later if you need to. The index definition itself could still be OK.

    That's actually a "good error", in...

  • RE: Allow null on data type money?

    Absolutely. If a NULL means 0, then actually put 0, not NULL. NULL is ambiguous, zero is not. If you compress the row, either value won't take...

    I would allow NULLs if it's possible a value won't be known. Sometimes unknown is not the same as zero. For example, I might not know the sales...

  • RE: Creating an automated process

    You don't need MERGE, use UPDATE instead:

    FROM TEST_TABLE1 tt1

    INNER JOIN TEST_TABLE2 tt2 ON TT2.DealershipCode = TT1.DealershipCode;

  • RE: Profiler slows down the system

    For one thing, "save to table" is a lot of overhead. Save it to file(s) instead, then load the file(s) into tables later to analyze.

    For absolute max speed, you should also cluster the temp table on ID:
