Hi I have an import script that is inserting/updating info to an Axapta temp table that has about 7 fields in it.
In my import script I need to go into this temp table to check if a record already exists based on three of the fields that are being imported (i.e. checking what I am importing whetehr it has been imported before etc). I am wondering is it worth while to put a unqiue index on this table for these 3 fields or not? I am expecting maybe to have 50,000 records in this temp table every time I run the import script and will need to search it maybe 500,000 times during the import.... If there is no index will SQL do some 'optimization' so the performance difference is minimal? (I mean the number of fields on the table is not that many more than the index and I am wondering given the small size of the record SQL will cache or keep all the records in memory - although since it is a TMP table I am not sure will any of this be stored in the SQL or on the client - should I cahnge from TMP to normal table???) Appreaciate some advice so as to speed up this import Thanks James ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> Get fast access to your favorite Yahoo! Groups.
