Re: UPDATE - Increment Speed Question

[dbv]

I am using a HEAP table for the logs and it has made an improvement. But I think the following is the issue:

"UPDATE locks but it's very fast"

I am doing a lot of little UPDATEs all the time for something else. This same table is being SELECTed a lot. I think what needs to be done is create a summary table off of this main table whereby the UPDATEs will be done off the main table and most of the SELECTs will be done off the summary table. This summary table would still need to be UPDATEd every hour but by LOCKing it and doing them in batch I think this would resolve the slowdown I have. Thanks.
