• The biggest problem with the current query is that it's not possible for an INDEX SEEK (and subsequent range scan) to occur on the r_mod_time column because of the formulas you have wrapped around the column. This is how to fix that as well as impart what most people would be some "best practices". Of course, you have to have the correct indexes, as well.

    SELECT x.bay_user_id

    , x.fr_acid

    , c.c_m_phone_no

    , c.c_email_id

    , x.txn_amt,

    , x.end_date

    FROM dbo.cusr c

    JOIN dbo.xfrq x ON x.bay_user_id = c.bay_user_id

    WHERE x.r_mod_id = 'FTONLDISP'

    AND x.res_code = 0

    AND x.r_mod_time >= '20130413' AND x.r_mod_time < '20130414'

    ;

    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
    First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

    Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
