Hello,

I have a large table (~700 million rows, ~150 columns). Initially after import, the database is very fast on primary key lookups, however after a few thousand creates/updates/deletes on the database, "sorted" (as reported by sys.storage), flips from true to false. This results in major performance degradation.

What are the conditions under which a database can lose it's sorted-ness on the primary key column?

Hai Jeremy, Isn’t this because a primary key in the inserted tuples breaks the sortedness of the column? Assuming your updates don’t change the primary keys. Jennie

eg:

sql>select schema, table, column, sorted from sys.storage where schema = 'test1' and table = 'cmdb' and column = 'pk_id'; +---------+-------+--------+--------+ | schema | table | column | sorted | +=========+=======+========+========+ | test1 | cmdb | pk_id | false | +---------+-------+--------+--------+
