  • RE: CTE query - Long Load Time

    Please list all indexes on [BuildTable].

    Also, shouldn't the SecondApply query have a condition based on FirstApply value, something like:

    WHERE [BuildTable].[rownum] > [FirstApply].[rownum]

    ?

    Edit: Added "WHERE" for clarity.

    You're welcome.

    One other thing, be careful using BETWEEN for date range queries. You're usually better using

    [Date] >= @startdate

    [Date] <= @enddate

  • RE: database growth

    If you're not using service broker any more, then it's 100% safe to run this:

    ALTER DATABASE msdb SET NEW_BROKER

    which should clear that table and allow you to release the space.
