Tom is spot on with his suggestions.
The only thing that I'll add is that sometimes there is a mismatch with timestamp resolution, which prevents a direct
innerjoin. In this case, you filter both partitioned tables with the greater than/less than constants, THEN complete
theinner join with truncated dates. You will still have to do a full scan; however, you'll only be doing a full scan
ofthe selected partitions.
Other than that, you need to provide the query for additional advice.
