@vincentshanecurtis - You asked a question and Gail responded within half an hour offering help (over 15 years of SQL Server experience have taught me she's high on...

Just a few more points:
A company wide policy should be in place for how SQL objects are worked on rather than...

First of all marwa, congratulations on sticking your head over the parapet and being brave enough to post an article on SQL Server Central; sharing knowledge is how people learn.

Also can't find the SQL.
In the absence of this I'm trying to understand the silhouetting explanation. How is the result in the range -1 to 1? Are the distances...

Alan B. - Welcome to the discussion. Things have moved on while I've been sleeping in the UK 🙂 Just to point out that in my case the CTEs were...

Out of interest were you able to get an estimated execution plan?
March 18, 2015 at 11:05 am
That is strange. As Old Hand mentioned re-writing to use sub-queries that filter should produced the same execution plan for simple CTEs.
I would also flag up that using query hints...

The code was...

Here is an alternative method that proved much more performant...

And (I know there has been talk about this for years, but...) they REALLY need to do Good Omens by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman. But only...

Can't believe Eddings is/are getting so many mentions, but no one has put forward Feist.
