| Our "Database Guy" has advised a fellow developer not to use a particularcolumn(a datatime datatype) as part of a nonclustered index because itprovides horrible performance. I could not find any documentation on thisnor was i provided by the "Database Guy" any documentation supporting hisclaim that columns of datetime datatype hinder performance. This datetimecolumn is used frequently in a where clause to return small amounts of dataper query, hence the creation of the nonclustered index on that column.Has anyone heard of a performance "loss" from creating a nonclustered indexon a column of datatype DATETIME?TIA,Chris |
