Re: SQL report

I would be curious to know the performance curve for let's say 20K, 40K
, 60K, 80K, 100K records. And what sort of indexing you have, whether
or not it's clustered, re-built and so on.

One could envision partitioning the status table such that recent
records were grouped together (on the assumption that they will be most
frequently "reported").
