Software Vendor Mistakes With SQL Server: Not Using Filtered Indexes Or Indexed Views

Basic Training


In yesterday’s post, we covered some of the basics of designing nonslustered indexes to make queries go faster, but sometimes those aren’t quite enough.

What I cover here is how to use them correctly, and some of the things they just don’t work well with. Again, if you like what you see, hit the link at the end of the post for 75% off.

  1. Oh man, you are so right. I’m trying to remember if I’ve ever seen filtered indexes or even indexed views in a third-party application. The most common comment then later on: “Didn’t work for us!” And as bonus information: “Our SQL expert advised us to use partitions!”

      1. I guess that in some manager book from the 80’s it was said that partitions are the key to database performance.
