  • RE: SQL Server Logon Trigger Problems

    It looks to me like you're checking all connections to the database. If there are many such connections for different users, that could be a drag on the trigger.

    So,...

  • RE: Performance Problem

    Would need to also at least see the DDL ("CREATE TABLE"/"CREATE INDEX") for the tables, including all indexes.

    You can use COALESCE(): for only 4 values, it's actually clearer to me personally (ymmv) than the other method.

    FYI, a FILLFACTOR of 80 is wasting space in many tables and perhaps even still have too little freespace in others.

    You need to determine the best FILLFACTOR for each table...

  • RE: Ranking functions, views, and predicates

    Since the best plan will vary based on the selectivity of the specific @BatchID passed in, try it with the RECOMPILE option:

    SELECT *

    FROM <myDatabase>.<mySchema>.vw_BatchItems

    WHERE BatchID = @BatchID

    OPTION ( RECOMPILE );
