| Lots of memory, a big disk subsystem, good indexes, smart design to keep rows/page small and eliminate unnecessary data. This is just hitting the tip of the iceberg. You really do need to get a DBA to look at your design, especially for the "easily search" part if you want it to return in any decent amount of time.MeanOldDBAderrickleggett@hotmail.comWhen life gives you a lemon, fire the DBA. |

| How many millions of rows? in how many tables?And how many NEW and UPDATED rows per hour?And how many QUERY per hour?If may be if there are not too many millions! and not too many updates, and not too many Queries, that a SQL table with not too much optimisation will just make mincemeat of the job.I'm embarassed to say that we have a logging table itching to be optimised. Currently it has 10,971,205 rows with 208,092 inserts in the last day and 68,085 updates.The number of queries is very low, but it has indexes on the two main columns that interact with queries, plus a PK.Table scan is 32 seconds, and clustered/non-clustered index operations are "instant"So I don't think the table is particularly optimal, but it copes just fine ...Kristen |
