Question

I have a query with horrible performance:

select COUNT(distinct accession_id) count,MONTH(received_date) month,YEAR(received_date) year
into #tmpCounts
from F_ACCESSION_DAILY
where CLIENT_ID not in (select clientid from SalesDWH..TestPractices)
group by MONTH(received_date),YEAR(received_date)

Instead of waiting for this query, I would like to create a variable or a view or anything else that I can store on the server and have the server automatically calculate it every 24 hours.

I would like to then be able to do a select * from #tmpCounts

How can I achieve this ?

Answer 1

I don’t know if this meets your need, but I would create a table for storing it, use SQL Server Agent to create a job that just truncates the table, runs the query you mention above and inserts the rows. This way from then on you could query the table for those results.

As an aside, likely the easiest way to truncate and load the table would be running a very simple SSIS package.
