  • RE: Different Methods of JOINing to table with 6.4 Million Records

    Well, I'm glad we helped speed it up.

    What's your query look like at this point? Might be other aspects of it that can also be sped up.

    Just for a speed test on a large number of rows, I did this:

    set nocount on;

    go

    create table IPs (

    ID int identity primary key,

    go

    insert into dbo.IPs(IPAddr)
