Thanks Lynn! Apparently if I could read, I would've come up with this version instead:
;WITH Unpivoted AS (
SELECT SchoolCode, RaceCode, Code, Value
FROM #Temp
CROSS APPLY (
VALUES ('LUNCH', Lunch), ('ESL', Student_ESL), ('GIEP', GIEP), ('IEP', IEP)
) a (Code, Value)
)
SELECT Sex=CASE Sex WHEN 'M' THEN 'MALE' ELSE 'FEMALE' END
,BLACK=COUNT(CASE WHEN RaceCode = 'Black' THEN 1 END)
,WHITE=COUNT(CASE WHEN RaceCode = 'White' THEN 1 END)
,OTHER=COUNT(CASE WHEN RaceCode = 'Other' THEN 1 END)
FROM #Temp
WHERE SchoolCode = 204
GROUP BY Sex
UNION ALL
SELECT Code
,BLACK=SUM(CASE WHEN RaceCode = 'Black' THEN Value ELSE 0 END)
,WHITE=SUM(CASE WHEN RaceCode = 'White' THEN Value ELSE 0 END)
,OTHER=SUM(CASE WHEN RaceCode = 'Other' THEN Value ELSE 0 END)
FROM Unpivoted
WHERE SchoolCode = 204
GROUP BY Code
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.
Need to UNPIVOT? Why not CROSS APPLY VALUES instead?[/url]
