Overall, I recommend that you always slap a clustered index on your
tables,
unless you have full understanding of the ramifications.
Erland,
I'm sure you mean that to be with love and care, rather than just "slap on"
any clustered index for the sake of it. :) A poorly chosen clustered index
could be worse than none at all.

Dunno. A simple-minded maintenance plan is going to clean up the mess of
a poorly selected clustered index, whereas there is not much to save a heap.
But, yes, it's certainly a good idea to select your clustered index with
some care, and not just cluster on the primary key without thinking.
Particularly not if the PK is a GUID. Then again, clustering on a GUID
does not have to be bad, as long as you specify a low fill factor, and
reindex with the same low fill factor often enough.

Hi all
I recently noticed when trying to optimise a major query of a chess website
I am the webmaster of, that adding an order by for "gamenumber" which is a
clustered index field as in for example "order by timeleft desc, gamenumber
desc" actually speeded up the queries and reduced sql server 2000 timeouts.
I have an ASP error log and I am fairly sure that a dramatic reduction in
sql server timeouts is simply attributed to adding an...

One table I manage has a clustered index, and it includes some
varchar columns. When it is initially created, all the columns
in the clustered index are populated, and then some of the longer
varchars are populated through update queries. If the varchar
columns are stored outside the clustered structure, then it would
make sense to create the clustered index before populating the
varchar columns. Otherwise it would make sense to wait,...

I have following situation:
one "message" table and 3 other "message_{1,2,3}" tables which inheri
from "message".
Every day +-50 000 "messages" are being inserted.
I needed something extra to speed up the queries instead of only usin
indexes, so I thought of doing something like you can do in Oracle
table partitioning.
In postgresql you can simulate this using the partial indexes.

I've been doing a bit of reading and have read in quite a few places
that an identity column is a good clustered index and that all or at
least most tables should have a clustered index. The tool I used to
generate tables made them all with non clustered indexes so I would
like to drop all of them and generate clustered indexes. So my
questions is a) good idea? and b) how? There are foreign key references
to most of them so those would...

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.
Here is my compilation command:

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
