Hi, apologies if this has been posted in the wrong place, new to SQL Server and these forums!
We have a large-ish transaction file (around 57million rows currently) which i'm trying to aggregate to a weekly level to aid with reporting, so attempting to create a view in SQL Server Management Studio but getting the below error:
'Tmeout Expired. The timeout perioed elapsed prior to completion of the operation or the server is not responding'
below is the SQL for the view:
SELECT TOP (100) PERCENT dbo.D_TIME2.RET_YEAR, dbo.D_TIME2.RET_MONTH, dbo.D_TIME2.RET_WEEK_ID, dbo.F_DSTSKU.DOOR_ID, dbo.F_DSTSKU.DOCTYPE, dbo.F_DSTSKU.SELLTHRU_TYPE, dbo.F_DSTSKU.CURRENCY, dbo.F_DSTSKU.SKU_ID, SUM(dbo.F_DSTSKU.SALES_UNITS) AS Units, SUM(dbo.F_DSTSKU.SALES_VALUE) AS Value FROM dbo.F_DSTSKU LEFT OUTER JOIN dbo.D_TIME2 ON dbo.F_DSTSKU.TRANSACTION_DATE = dbo.D_TIME2.DATE GROUP BY dbo.D_TIME2.RET_YEAR, dbo.D_TIME2.RET_MONTH, dbo.D_TIME2.RET_WEEK_ID, dbo.F_DSTSKU.DOOR_ID, dbo.F_DSTSKU.DOCTYPE, dbo.F_DSTSKU.SELLTHRU_TYPE, dbo.F_DSTSKU.CURRENCY, dbo.F_DSTSKU.SKU_ID ORDER BY dbo.D_TIME2.RET_YEAR, dbo.D_TIME2.RET_MONTH, dbo.D_TIME2.RET_WEEK_ID, dbo.F_DSTSKU.DOOR_ID, dbo.F_DSTSKU.DOCTYPE, dbo.F_DSTSKU.SELLTHRU_TYPE, dbo.F_DSTSKU.CURRENCY, dbo.F_DSTSKU.SKU_IDI've checked through all the properties i can find, and query execution is either set to unlimited or 65,000 seconds, but i'm getting this error popping up after about 30 seconds. Any ideas?
