select distinct values of a column against partitioned table

1 New Member
Is there anyway that we can get the distinct values of the column on which there exist a partition.

eg : for my fact table the date is partitioned for each date. if i select the distinct values of dates
it is taking so much time to get the values.

infact these distinct values are being used for report development. every time they open report the dates available in the fact table should display so that users can
select particular date.

help us getting these distinct values fastly

How do you define "distinct" in context with date (By year ? By month ? By week ? By day ? By hour ? By minute ?)

If partition pruning and/or partition key indexes will work depends on a couple of things.

But you sure didn't expect a complete answer without at least even mentioning the database release, let alone providing information about the type of partitioning, whether there are sub partitions, the partion keys and your query ...

I have a table with a varchar(255) column, it has 111,000 rows. When I do a select distinct on that column it takes 16 seconds and returns about 25 distinct values, I'd like it to take much less time. I tried creating an index but the explain on the query shows that it isn't using an index. Is there any way to speed this up or should I just maintain another table with the distinct values myself?

The select statements return different data for most_commons_vals depending on whether n_distinct is included in the select clause or not. I only seem to get the behavior below against int8 columns - but I haven't interated through every conceivable data type either. Is this expected behavior or perhaps a bug?

People are telling me it is bad to put select * from <atable> in a view. I better should list all fields of the table inside the definition of the view. I dont know exactly why but some say: A select * from makes sql server does a table scan.
