  Hi All,

  We have a typical issue with Column Store Index, we have a procedure which does 2 activities - Switch & Reverse Switch

  Switch:

  1. Fetch the Partitions needed to be switched

  2. Switch the data from Main Table to Switch table

  2. Disable the Column store on Switch table

  SSIS Package:

  3. Load data to Switch (Insert / Update)

  Reverse Switch:

  4. Enable the Switch

  5. Switch back the data from Switch table to Main table

  Issue: Some time the Column store is not getting disabled, and the package fails complaining try disabling the Column store index and try loading data.

  If we re-run the procedure, the column store gets dis-abled, please need you help and any details if this is some sort of BUG

  Quick suggestion, query sys.indexes to check if the columnstore index is disabled or not before attempting to manipulate the data.
