Subject splitted dates
Author marcelo.miorelli@kiddeuk.co.uk
Hi

I have been using splitted dates for improving the performance in group
bys.
Is it a good practice?
The only problem is that I have three extra fields and a trigger to
maintain my data.

ex:

mydate date,
myyear integer,
mymonth integer,
myday integer

So in the selects I can have better use of my table information.

Marcello
