Indexed View vs. Table





.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ height:90px;width:728px;box-sizing:border-box;
}

I had a long running query (relative to the data) that was hitting an indexed view. I thought an indexed view was physically stored data? I dumped everything into a table and ran the same query against the table and found that it executed almost 3x as fast. I was under the impression, which apparently was wrong, that an indexed view would act the same as a physical table in terms of performance. Just looking for an explanation.

    What edition of SQL Server are you running under? Downlevel editions require the use of the NOEXPAND query hint in order to benefit most from the indexed view.

    SQL Server Management Studio version doesn't usually matter. run select @@version on your system and see if it matches what you posted, which would be sql server 2016
