Home Forums SQL Server 2005 T-SQL (SS2K5) request on a query to capture the cell area a given x,y coordinate would be found in? RE: request on a query to capture the cell area a given x,y coordinate would be found in?

  • If they're always squares, perhaps something like this?

    WITH Squares

    (

    Upperleft_X, Upperleft_Y, Upperright_X, Upperright_Y

    ,Lowerleft_X, Lowerleft_Y, Lowerright_X, Lowerright_Y, Cell

    ) AS (

    SELECT 0, 0, 100, 0, 0, 100, 100, 100, 'A1'

    UNION ALL SELECT 0, 101, 100, 101, 0, 200, 100, 200, 'B1'

    UNION ALL SELECT 101, 0, 200, 0, 101, 100, 200, 100, 'A2'

    UNION ALL SELECT 101, 101, 200, 101, 101, 200, 200, 200, 'B2')

    ,Points (n, x, y) AS (

    SELECT 1, 25, 130

    UNION ALL SELECT 2, 105, 40)

    SELECT a.n, b.Cell, x, y, Upperleft_X, Upperright_X, Lowerleft_X, Lowerright_X

    , Upperleft_Y, Upperright_Y, Lowerleft_Y, Lowerright_Y

    FROM Points a

    JOIN Squares b

    ON (x BETWEEN Upperleft_X AND Lowerright_X AND

    y BETWEEN Upperleft_Y AND Lowerright_Y);


    My mantra: No loops! No CURSORs! No RBAR! Hoo-uh![/I]

    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.
