I am trying to understand the below query being run from our developers on read only database which just runs forever. Table here is partitioned table on partition column trickey per day. Query is something like below Select a, b, c, d, trickey from table where (1=1) and (1=1) convert(varchar(10),trickey,112) BETWEEN 20190913 and 20190913 Will above query not eligible for partition key elimination OR how can i improve or tune up the above query?
