Refreshing SQL Server Tables With Less Interruption Using Partition Switching

SQL Performance

There are several methods to reload entire tables while they’re actively being queried; two decades ago, I took unbridled advantage of sp_rename — I’d play a shell game with an empty shadow copy of the table, happily reloading the shadow copy and then only performing the rename inside a transaction.
