Symptoms

When trying to use an aggregate fact table, the SQL optimizer bypasses aggregate fact tables sometimes for specific use cases.   As an example, totals are changed from sum to avg.  This may change the SQL generated and bypass the aggregate fact table.  There are no errors.  The SQL will be correct. It will just not take advantage of the aggregate fact table.
