Episode 142: Do You Have a HEAP of Hurting?


Listen Later

Are you giving yourself a HEAP of trouble by using tables with no clustered indexes?  But it is faster you say . . . because you don't have to worry about the sorting when inserting.  Our guest Rick Lowe suggests everything is fast until you decide to SELECT, UPDATE, or DELETE.  We talk about why you may or may not want to use HEAP tables.  I know I was surprised to get his take on the use of HEAP tables and I think you will be, too. Do you agree with our assessment?  Let us know in the comments on the show notes page.
