  • RE: How to update rows faster

    Cluster the table on the month.

    I'd include at least the year with the month. Best is to use a column of type date, but if necessary you can use...

  • RE: working with Case inside a IF EXISTS

    No, the syntax is somewhat off. A CASE expression must evaluate to a single value.

    For what you're doing, try something like this instead:

    IF @Client = 'Winco Foods' AND EXISTS(

    SELECT...

    Do you want the concatenation to be able to cause a match? For example, if the PartnerName ends in "f", and the Address begins with "arm", should that cause...

  • RE: UNION Query with Filtered Results

    If the tables are indexed on id, you just have to force SQL to use the obvious MERGE join it should have been using anyway(!) 😀 :

    In this case, there's no real need for CTEs or UNIONs either, just standard FULL joins:

    SELECT

    COALESCE(t1.PRODUCTID, t2.PRODUCTID, t3.PRODUCTID) AS PRODUCTID,

  • RE: Would like a LOGON Trigger to record when it rolls back a logon attempt

    An INSERT to a table won't try to return a result set ... unless you're missing a:

    SET NOCOUNT ON

    at the start of the trigger. Verify that statement is present.

  • RE: Date Parameter in Stored Procs

    Sure, fine, I give up.

    Just be aware that using MONTH or any other function on a column could give you horrible performance.

  • RE: Date Parameter in Stored Procs

    Month is a datetime type: you need to provide a full date:

    @month = '20151001'

  • RE: Date Parameter in Stored Procs

    The CROSS JOIN is just used to assign an alias name to the constructed date.

    Scott, would the following work, its kind of giving me the correct results:

    ALTER PROC Applications

    (

    @Month AS DATETIME,

    @Year AS DATETIME

    )

    AS

    BEGIN

    LEFT JOIN (SELECT COUNT(CA.app_id) AS Approved_Count, SO.source_id
