Look at the missing index stats and the index usage stats to help determine a useful clustered index. Only if no useful clustering key exists, and remember to consider...

Rollbacks very often take more time than the initial modification. They are only very quick if all the pages are still in memory.

I'd prefer to just add one day to the end date when needed. That seems much "cleaner" than dual 3ms adjustments:

SELECT

start_time, end_time, DATEDIFF(MINUTE, start_time,...

FROM Consumer

WHERE ConsumerType = 'S') s ON p.ConsumerAccountID = s.ConsumerAccountID

AND...

Did you look at the code I posted?

Rather than literal strings of spaces, I recommend using SPACE(), just for readability:

/*CREATE FUNCTION ...*/

SELECT REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(LTRIM(RTRIM(@Text)),

SPACE(33), ' '),

SPACE(17), ' '),

SPACE(9),...
