    This is nice however, how can u make a view more efficient when you are using other views or a linked query in the view? I guess you can't create an index on these views so are there any tips out there on these types of views? 🙂

    Thanks,

    Depending on what you filter a view-of-a-view on in a query, views of views can be horrible for performance because you will usually cause the inner view to materialize in full if you filter or join on a calculated column.

    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.
