    If you're on Enterprise Edition you can add "ONLINE = ON" and the table can still be used while the index is being built.

    Sample data in a consumable format would be most helpful.

    An example of what I am trying to get.

    Hmm, I expected my code to give you that.

    Can the same guid appear more than once??

  • RE: Urgent: Can someone help me get past this error?

    Instead of disabling the trigger, which would affect all row updates, of course, you might want to consider using CONTEXT_INFO() to selectively bypass trigger processing just for your updates.

    For example:

    At a minimum, you need to look at missing index stats and usage stats. (Beyond min, you would include sys.dm_db_index_operational_stats.)
