Sorry MarbryHardin, but your solution is totally awful from a query optimization standpoint and you are guaranteed to get suboptimal performance. Read Gail's blog posts. Also, scale your table up to 6M or 600M rows and look at the query plans you get when you run your code. Also, watch how the plan will get reused with parameters that really need a different plan.

Oh, and your table variable isn't going to do you any favors either. I can give you a one column, one row table variable example that will give you a bad plan where the same in a temp table gives you the correct plan.
