you could do something like this but I'm sure there's a faster way to return that query... this takes 30 secs to run on 30 groupings / 10k rows)... however...

You can test this script on the northwind db and see how long it runs... shouldn't take more than a few secs.

Also you could modify the foreach proc to run...

It's not dumb... but it's actually pretty hard to do.

I got this from microsoft but I lost the original link some time ago... this is my slightly modified version :...

then you'll have to scan the text everytime the user types a character and count how many lines there are... but that can cause problems if it's a realy...

You'll have to loop through the text and count how many vbCrlF are in it. You'll have to code this in the keypress or something like that... and start...

I'm not 100% sure about this. But from my experience it seems that all the expressions in the case must return the same datatype. So it's either all...

Here's an exemple on how to filter out your select so you get all the data you need in only 1 select... but also no more data than you need.

You should also look up DBCC INDEXDEFRAG...

Select C.cust_id, C.customer_email, COUNT(*) as PurchasesQty, SUM(P.AMOUNT) as PurchasesAmount from dbo.customer C LEFT OUTER JOIN dbo.Purchase P on C.cust_id = P.Cust_id

if PurchasesAmount returns null then use

ISNULL(SUM(AMOUNT)) as PurchasesAmount instead.

Happy that you found that funny... and I just made myself a nice base for a future function.

But I'm sorry to tell you that I know no other work around...

Everybody needs a little cefeine at this hour on a friday.

I already answered this question under your other post.

He is right when he tells that it will cause degredation. However to cause major problems you would have to run these procs a few 1000 times/hours (if the result...

I just played with it... have a go with this script and post the final result to us :

drop table Replaces

GO

begin
