You develop a Microsoft SQL Server 2012 database. You create a view that performs the
following tasks:
Joins 8 tables that contain up to 500,000 records each.
Performs aggregations on 5 fields.
The view is frequently used in several reports.
You need to improve the performance of the reports.

What should you do?

Your database contains tables named Products and ProductsPriceLog. The Products table
contains columns named ProductCode and Price. The ProductsPriceLog table contains
