    Hi All,

    I have attached two queries with table definition and sample data.

    Query 2 is working better then query 1.

    Now the actual question is:

    Should I follow query 2 in big and very complex queries?

    Is there any other better way to handle this type of scenarios?

    Thanks.

    Where does the hardcoded value '0a1705011715553107773972' come from?
