Were the declarations of @SumA and @SumB supposed to confuse us on this one? I found them to be completely unnecessary.The declarations were not intended to confuse; as a software developer for many decades (mainly with C# for the last 6 years, with some T-SQL on the side), I like to define all my variables of a type that I decide. I don't want to rely on some box of blacklegging binary bits* to make the decision for me. With the latest releases of dotNet allowing implicit declaration types, I'm a bit nervous actually.
All I am saying is that I don't see you actually using @SumA or @SumB in this query. They were declared, but don't seem to have been used. If you comment out that line altogether, it changes nothing ... that I'm aware of ;).
