Good response Brent. You must get that a lot. Funny how some people expect you to put in the time and effort to solve their problems… for free!… just because you happened to write a nice article.

Umesh – the first thing I’d check is an indexing strategy, perhaps including a clustered index. While you can partition a heap (a table with no clustered indexes), it’s unlikely that partitioning will make report generation run faster.
