I am working on an app that needs to run statistics on data. A lot of data. The data lives in one table, but each calculation may require one or more fields from each row. There may be as many as 5 million rows. The stats will need
to be repeatedly run, whenever even one of those 5 million records changes. That part is done manually by a human so it wont happen that often but the concept of rerunning those stats is important.
So rather than pull out 5 million records to a C# app and do the stats there, I was hoping there was some way to have SQL server do some (or preferrably all) of this work for me.
A colleague of mine mentioned that he thought that there was a way to write stored procs in C#- which would be great... as I think I could write these algorithms/statistics there, but I cant seem to find any info on it. All search results point to
how to access a stored procedure from C# which I already know how to do.
Can anyone point me in the right direction? Or offer any other insights? Thanks!
