    EDIT: This is also for me to play with a couple of things and get more experience with them. so it may not be fast or work in your situation but does use some things i have been studying.

    No.... you're absolutely on the correct path. The MIN=MAX method the others used is twice as slow as the original function. You can make it a bit faster still by turning it into an iTVF instead of a scalar function. And lose the join. If you rework the GenericTable TYPE just a bit, you won't need it. Give it a shot. You've got this, Cap'n!

    Really??

    Doesn't the DISTINCT require an (expensive) sort but min/max don't?
