DataColumn, DataColumn, DateColumn
Every so often we put data into the table via date.
So everything seems great at first, but then I thought: What happens when there are a million or billion rows in the table? Should I be breaking up the tables by date? This way the query performance will never degrade? How do people deal with this sort of thing?
You can use partitioned tables starting with SQL 2K5: Partitioned Tables
This way you gain the benefits of keeping the logical design pure while being able to move old data into a different file group.
