    I don't think so, because of the following condition "clsdt_date = wrkcpl_date".

    You can't do an index seek on cssdt_date until you know the values for wrkcpl_date. You can't...

  • RE: Are the posted questions getting worse?

    select a1, clsdt_date,wrkcpl_date

    FROM wt

    WHERE

    clsdt_date = wrkcpl_date
