So that gives us 2 identifier columns, remarkably similar to the two in this QotD -- and that's where you may have a point. But I'd caution...

Just fyi, I would avoid using scalar functions in WHERE clauses whether they are builtin like ISNULL or user defined like yours if possible. It creates the RBAR effect...

It happens under the hood, and always has AFAIK. If there isn't a uniqueidentifier replication will add one to every table on the system and if replication is deleted,...

I doubt this has anything to do with the way you put data into the temp table. It is all about TWO MASSIVE JOIN queries UNIONed together using...

Jeff,

Thanks for taking a look. I just want to clarify that the query isn't really the issue. I didn't write it and I don't know the business rules...

I agree, the query doesn't make much sense to me either but I didn't write it. I'm just trying to find some ways to optimize the performance without changing...

I appreciate your help but my goal is to find out why it works in one venue, i.e. a query window and not in a stored proc. Also, I'm...

The option must be selected as one of the properties of the article to be replicated. If you're using the GUI, right click on the article and choose "Set...

Group 1 - max(a) is 3 ---- nothing in b is greater than a

Group 2 - max(a) is 2 ---- 3 (in b which is the whole table)...

All right, I confess. I don't get it. the subquery says where b GREATER THAN a not LESS THAN. As near as I can tell, there can...
