What do you think about transactional replication to partition a 20TB table? Separate tables that match prtn scheme then switch and rename.

@pilotbob IN gets rewritten by the optimizer as a series of ORs. When to switch depends on a lot of things. It's worth testing at 4-5+

@pilotbob If you have a lot of items, using JOIN join or EXISTS against a table is better than IN. Consider adding an index to a temp table.

@pilotbob literals in an IN list are limited by the batch size. An alternative is to use a table variable and IN (SELECT id FROM @table).

@DBAishness At least it looks like it will be in SQL11. Should save a few steps in the cluster automated build process.

@blythemorrow I think they (databases) can sense fear from the rhythms in your typing - and the keyboard to mouse click ratio.

OH @donbox: Love the database! The database loves you! Do not fear it! It senses fear!

I *love* that chrome lets you detach a browser tab and video keeps playing without a hitch.

@unclebiguns 1st, to get consistent results with TOP, you need an ORDER BY. 2nd, NOLOCK will return dirty records if they exist.
