                                            | I have a table that has in the region of 150 columns.  This is because data comes from various sources and there is not a lot that can be done about this. What I am trying to work out is the best way to deal with this on a performance basis.The data held in this table is seen via a windows .net application in a datagridview that collects the data from a SQL View of the table.150 fields in a table is quite a lot to work with would I be better splitting this table so I had the strings in one table the numeric in another and the dates in another all linking back to a main table with a UID.What is the most efficient method for performance and for maintenance of this data? |
