E. Add a FORCESCAN hint to the Attach query. 

F. Add a columnstore index to cover the query. 

G. Enable the optimize for ad hoc workloads option. 

H. Cover the unique clustered index with a columnstore index. 

I. Include a SET FORCEPLAN ON statement before you run the query. 

J. Include a SET STATISTICS PROFILE ON statement before you run the query. 

K. Include a SET STATISTICS SHOWPLAN_XML ON statement before you run the query. 

L. Include a SET TRANSACTION ISOLATION LEVEL REPEATABLE READ statement before you run the query.

Global customers place orders from several countries. 

You need to view the country from which each customer has placed the most orders.
