    You need to use the actual semester number to record the grade. Year alone is not enough, nor is "odd/even" (bizarre!).

    I think this is the (actual) logic you need, based on analyzing the original code:

    There is no built-in CONVERT style that will handle the format DDMMYYYY. This means that you will have to code it yourself. This should do:

    CONVERT(date, RIGHT(Date1,2) + SUBSTRING(Date1,...

    How can you possibly determine that this should be a good clustering key based on seeing only one single query...

    The "standard" performance problem when clustering on an identity column "by default". Trying to work around the wrong clustered index will generate lots of extra I/O.

  • RE: Continue on Failure in Stored Procedure

    Make sure the sub-procs have their own CATCH blocks. You can use empty/dummy blocks if you don't care about errors there:

    CREATE PROCEDURE sub_proc

    AS

    ...

    BEGIN CATCH

    --ignore error here

    END CATCH
