    Yep, definitely remove ID.  The key to a "relationship" table should be the relationship keys, NOT an ID column.

    I'd suggest the clustered index on ( trade_date, symbol ) and not the other way around.  You want the clus key to be unique, so, if it's not, you'll want...

    The TaskNames would have to be contiguous for that method to work.  I wanted to also handle some other TaskName appearing between "Distribute" and "Print", just in case.

    Nice.

    I would use option 2 in this case.  The safest way to set the flag consistently accurately is to use a trigger on the StudentsGrade table.

  • Reply To: How much transaction logs generated by hourly/daily

    SQL captures the size of backups in table msdb.dbo.backupset.  Thus, you can query that table to add up total space used for backups.

    You could do as below.  You can't really GROUP BY ID, because that would separate the Small, Medium and Large into separate rows.

    I haven't ultra-tuned this, but see if it gives you the correct results.
