I am having a problem with indexes on specific tables. For some reason
a query that runs against a view is not selecting the correct index on
a table. I run the same query against the table directly and it looks
fine. Can anyone give me some insight? Thanks.
PRODUCTION1:
CREATE TABLE MyTest1 (ID INT IDENTITY(1,1), COLUMN1 CHAR(10), COLUMN2
CHAR(10))
CREATE CLUSTERED INDEX IDX_MyTest1 ON MyTest1 ON (ID)
CREATE NONCLUSTERED INDEX IDX_MyTest2 ON MyTest1 ON (COLUMN2, ID)
ARCHIVE1:
CREATE TABLE MyTest1 (ID INT IDENTITY(1,1), COLUMN1 CHAR(10), COLUMN2
CHAR(10))
CREATE CLUSTERED INDEX IDX_MyTest1 ON MyTest1 ON (ID)
CREATE NONCLUSTERED INDEX IDX_MyTest2 ON MyTest1 ON (COLUMN2, ID)
REPORTDB:
CREATE VIEW MyTest1 AS
SELECT ID, COLUMN1, COLUMN2 FROM PRODUCTION1..My Test1
UNION ALL
SELECT ID, COLUMN1, COLUMN2 FROM ARCHIVE1..MyTes t1
While in PRODUCTION1:
SELECT ID, COLUMN2 FROM MyTest1 WHERE COLUMN2 = 'Testing'
--> Clustered index seek PRODUCTION1..ID X_MyTest2
--> Results returned
While in ARCHIVE1:
SELECT ID, COLUMN2 FROM MyTest1 WHERE COLUMN2 = 'Testing'
--> Clustered index seek ARCHIVE1..IDX_M yTest2
--> Results returned
While in REPORTDB:
SELECT ID, COLUMN2 FROM MyTest1 WHERE COLUMN2 = 'Testing'
--> Index seek PRODUCTION1..ID X_MyTest2
--> Bookmark lookup PRODUCTION1..ID X_MyTest1
--> Index seek ARCHIVE1..IDX_M yTest2
--> Bookmark lookup ARCHIVE1..IDX_M yTest1
--> Concatenate data and results returned 3 1587
Correction... "UNION ALL" should just say "UNION"

You have:
While in PRODUCTION1: SELECT ID, COLUMN2 FROM MyTest1 WHERE COLUMN2 = 'Testing' --> Clustered index seek PRODUCTION1..ID X_MyTest2 --> Results returned
But that is not possible. Either you would have an Index Seek +
Bookmark Lookup oon IDX_MyTest2 or a Clustered Index Scan on IDX_MyTest1.
REPORTDB: CREATE VIEW MyTest1 AS SELECT ID, COLUMN1, COLUMN2 FROM PRODUCTION1..My Test1 UNION ALL SELECT ID, COLUMN1, COLUMN2 FROM ARCHIVE1..MyTes t1 ... While in REPORTDB: SELECT ID, COLUMN2 FROM MyTest1 WHERE COLUMN2 = 'Testing' --> Index seek PRODUCTION1..ID X_MyTest2 --> Bookmark lookup PRODUCTION1..ID X_MyTest1 --> Index seek ARCHIVE1..IDX_M yTest2 --> Bookmark lookup ARCHIVE1..IDX_M yTest1 --> Concatenate data and results returned
What happens if you actually have the UNION ALL, and not the UNION as
you correct later? With UNION SQL Server will have to do an operation
to sort out duplicates - that may affect the choice of plan.

I realized that it had to do with the UNION command. It was performing
a poor search in the first place and when the UNION ran it had to
perform a sort.

Why, in the process of creating a unique index, does SQL Server allow
me to select the "Ignore duplicate keys" option? Wouldn't I just
create a non-unique index if I wanted to ignore duplicate keys? I
came across this fact while preparing for the SQL Server design exam.

Hi Everyone
Is there anyone who has some sound rules of thumb for using indexes.
I see that, for example, access automatically adds them to linked tables,
but I feel, they are probably of more use in text fields (for sorting
purposes), etc....
Keen to hear your ideas.

Hi!
1-I read in MS Access help that Indexes are automatically made when we
declare a primary key and they are used for fast searching and sorting
purpose. But i am still confused that how can i use Indexes,where i can
see the in my table? and if i want to make my own indexes, should i use
nique attribute column such as vehicle registration number etc?
2-Another thing i wanna ask is; in MS access when we make a query, Is
it a view also?...

The more data you include in your tables the more you will need to have indexes to search and sort that data. However, there is a balance between having enough indexes and too many. Too many indexes will slow down the speed of updates on your records.
Access presets a number of Indexes for you. If you look in Tools ... Options under the Tables/Queries tab you will see that under "Auto Index on Import/Create" there is a list as follows:

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
