    Hello,

    I'm sorry for error in the topic title, intentional is:

    "validation rule" on a row of table?

    I'm looking for validation data in the table - when inserting or updating the row. I mean some rule checking consistency of columns data in the row (for example: if in the same row in 1st column will have value 55 and in 2nd column will have value 1, it must deny this insert/update of row). Is this possible in MS SQL at all?

    Thanks for suggests!

    I think you want to look into CHECK CONSTRAINTs.

    My thought question: Have you ever been told that your query runs too fast?

    My advice:
    INDEXing a poor-performing query is like putting sugar on cat food. Yeah, it probably tastes better but are you sure you want to eat it?
    The path of least resistance can be a slippery slope. Take care that fixing your fixes of fixes doesn't snowball and end up costing you more than fixing the root cause would have in the first place.
