@scott_kim Are there limitations or gotchas with preview? We've done some testing and found a distinct improvement. Is there any reason we wouldn't move forward with this on a subset of production databases?

However I would have loved an example of the precision that we are going to lose shifting to APPROX_PERCENTILE_CONT. A...
