Here is a sample of the batch file. You have to specify the server and database separately, so the IF statement is setting up different environment variables for each.

This will also give you the correct results. I suspect it might be more efficient than having the two separate subqueries, but haven't had a chance to test it.

Sir

We have 6 servers and I have to deploy many stored procs in each of these servers. Doing them manually is a pain. Besides I run into situations where...

Your English statement of the criteria does not match the expected results. Transaction_IDs 1-8 all have an instance of Type A, so they should all be included in your...

As I suggested earlier, you probably want to use a CTE with Row_Number()

WITH POLineItems AS (

You just need to use slightly different syntax.

What you're asking to do violates basic principles of database design. Why do you need to do this?

This should give you what you need. It's not tested.

You don't need to supply a real datetime for the 99999999. Min() and Max() will only return NULL if all of the values are NULL, but that's what you...

With appropriate indices, a CROSS/OUTER APPLY should perform better, but you should test it with your actual data. An OUTER APPLY corresponds to the LEFT JOIN that you are...

Manuals are not technical specs nor are they gospel. ...

In that case, you might consider using a CROSS APPLY instead of Max().

You might want to recheck your facts. BOL says differently:
