It's been a while since I checked but I think with most DBMS, a
clustered index is stored in memory / pages once it's used. So if this
is large then you can end up with a buffer thats gigs right?
Agreed that indexes are great on large tables but I don't think it's an
excuse not to keep the tables trim. Also think about those people who
don't query with indexes.
Interesting topic though

Its’ all about indexing. I have a large form on a 6.3 platform that
contains over a million records and just flies. Adjust the indexing to
match the most common queries. Company, Status, Assigned Group are
probably the most common. Anything that is required and menu driven
would be good candidates. But be careful not to have too many indexes
because indexes rebuilt when a new record is inserted.

Absolutely agree. An RDBMS is meant for massive amounts of data “so
long as its efficiently stored and retrieved”. That’s the key factor.
Else its just like storing it in an Excel sheet if one does not pay
heed to queries and the way data is retrieved.

Actually — I am wondering … do people agree with this fundamental
assumption that the more records the worse the performance?
To me — that is only for “inefficient queries” and — for the most part
- even if you archive — you will still have a slow system.
Do people agree with that??? And if so — isn’t the right solution - to
“fix the queries”.
I know this — archiving "roughly doubles” the reporting headaches,
workflow headaches, maintenance headaches.

Hi Folks,
As enterprises have been using ITSM for some time now, they have
accumulated Incidents, Changes, and other “root requests” that are
closed, old, and can be archived. These data have slowed down searches
and the ITSM application responses. Moving these data into Archive
tables speeds up database search and retrieval from the high-use,
active ITSM tables.
ITSM Challenges
BMC Remedy OOTB Archiving handles each table independently. In fact, an
ITSM
Incident comprises many records in many forms — a tree of dependent
records.
Further, if an Incident is associated with a Change that is not archive
ready, then that
Incident too, mustnot be archived.
