HI Champs,
I have huge table of 70 million records and 300 columns, and it is partitioned based on Monthkey column.And it is having clustered index as well .
Am having a select statement with Month_key as where clause and selecting all columns in the query.
But it is taking more time .
Cant reduce any columns it is required.
How to improve the performance ?
Regards,
Ravi

Please post the query (as text) and the actual execution plan (as an attachment). Without these, it's difficult to offer any meaningful advice.

1) If you are asking for lots of rows with lots of columns back to a client app that alone can take a LOT of time, even if SQL Server were to be able to instantly start feeding it back.

2) We do need to see query and query plan and table indexing at a minimum.

3) Poor hardware and/or poor virtualization and misconfigurations of lots of things can obviously be an issue (it is with EVERY client I start out with for performance work).

4) Simple blocking can cause long-running query times. Use sp_whoisactive to see that.

Does the clustering key start with Monthkey? And the partitioning key?
