What queries? LOL !! I said "consultants designed datamart". Which means they had the datamart, but,

1. no one had defined how it will be used
2. No one knew how to query it
3. No one could query it once it was loaded since they did so much of

transformation in their (ahem) ETL process.

So, it was a datamart that loaded about 40m_ rows every night into a DB, which were promptly useless. Data retention was supposed to be 7 years, we fought hard to bring it down to 3. Mind this, it was a standalond db, with a DR, (they also wanted a HA as well as a GG replicated copy for "reporting" purpose). After listening to costs, only primary and HA remained.

I dont know the current status, everything else was running smoothly, except for this one.
