    I'm afraid differences in resources are partly induced by Sql Server caching (intermediate) results between the first and latter queries.

    If you use DBCC DROPCLEANBUFFERS between the queries, caches are emptied and differences in time and physical reads may better reflect actual use of resources.

    Heh... or do what I did... just run the code more than once so you can see that even in the face of caching, some solutions just shouldn't be used. 😉

    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.
