Hey Chad, The table is heavily inserted and deleted from. Recently I had done a very large delete. Here is the results of the query you sent me: (sorry it's hard to read) "dcms_dim_id";0;4;755;-0.00676181 "transaction_fact_id";0;4;-1;-0.194694 "failed";0;4;2;0.964946 "van16";0;23;145866;0.00978649 "vendor_response";0.9942;43;9;0.166527 "transaction_id";0;4;-1;-0.199583 "transaction_date";0;8;172593;-0.194848 "serial_number";0.0434667;16;53311;0.0713039 "merchant_dim_id";0;4;105;0.299335 "comment";0.0052;29;7885;0.0219167 "archived";0;1;2;0.84623 "response_code";0.9942;4;3;0.905409 "transaction_source";0;4;2;0.983851 "location_dim_id";0;4;86;0.985384 "success";0;4;2;0.981072 Just curious - what does that tell us?
