I'm guessing that it could be an expensive sort if the index columns are not in the same order. Possible blocking on any of the 3 tables.

Could you post the...

My wild guess would be something like this:

(

@containerSqlId SMALLINT,

@containerIncId INT

)

RETURNS TABLE

AS

RETURN

SELECTCC.contentSqlId,

CC.contentIncId,

CC.contentMetaTableSqlId,

CC.contentMetaTableIncId

FROM [dbo].[ContainersContents] CC

WHERECC.containerSqlId = @containerSqlId AND

CC.containerIncId = @containerIncId AND

CC.isDeleted = 0

UNION ALL

SELECT ccc.*

FROM [dbo].[ContainersContents] CC

CROSS APPLY [dbo].[eufn_e5_eSM_SE_GetCurrentContentForContainer](CC.contentSqlId, ...

I wouldn't use nulls to represent a zero value. But I could see a valid option if there's an unknown value that might be defined later. You could also...

I wouldn't allow nulls on data type money for the simple reason that I wouldn't allow the money data type.

For the row counts, you can use the following:

SELECT OBJECT_NAME( object_id) AS TableName,

SUM( row_count) AS Row_Count

FROM sys.dm_db_partition_stats

WHERE index_id IN(1,0)

GROUP BY object_id

For statistics and index maintenance, you...

You can use either the SQL Server Express Edition which is free. It has several limitations, but for simple use, it should be fine.

Yes, it allows you to reference columns from the previous tables to use in correlated subqueries or functions.
