  • RE: In vs Outer Join

    Yep. NULLs can invalidate NOT IN logic. Add a check to eliminate NULLs from the subquery:

    SELECT COUNT(1)

    FROM dbo.Token TD WITH ( NOLOCK )

    WHERE ...

  • RE: Performance Tuning - Cursor Based Procedure

    This may give you some ideas. I used a placeholder of <your_tally_table> for the tally table. Replace that with your own tally table name, either a physical tally...

  • RE: Having Clause results minus results from Left join query

    In SQL Server, you'd need brackets around the name "Add":

    Select l.[add], l.phne

    from e_lkup l

    where mins is null

    GROUP BY phne, [add]

    HAVING count(*) >1

    EXCEPT

    select l.[add], l.phne

    from s_status ss

    I don't think so. I use that style all the time to rename files (yes, I should use Windows directly, but I'm used to working from within SQL :)...

  • RE: how to check SQL job

    Yeah, that drives you crazy until you figure it out, since SQL doesn't always clear out the job activity queue. You have to join to another control table to...

    SET @CMD='ren "\\pashare\shared\dhsr data\Adolescent Health\IMG\PHI_Refresh\export_file_IMG.xlsx" "export_File_IMG_' +@date+'.xlsx"'

    UPDATEdbo.Cache

    SETAvailability = Availability - 1,

    LastUpdated = GETUTCDATE()

    WHEREUnitId = @UnitId

    ANDStartDate < DATEADD(DAY, @Duration, @StartDate)

    AND@StartDate < DATEADD(DAY, Duration, StartDate)

    ANDAvailability >...

  • RE: Selecting text between set characters

    Just as an FYI, you can use a CROSS APPLY in these types of situations to assign meaningful alias names to intermediate values, which can sometimes make the SELECT logic...

  • RE: Alternative for len() function in where clause

    IF that's a highly selective condition -- i.e., there are not many rows where that column has between 4 and 10 bytes -- then you might gain performance by adding...

  • RE: index_id = 0

    I would certainly rebuild that table, if it's used a lot or you have some other cause of concern over it. As always for best performance, first determine and...

  • RE: Searching improvment

    To tune for performance, you first need to review missing index stats and index usage stats (and index operational stats, if you can). The main improvement is to determine...

  • RE: In Trigger - Building a dynamic table with inserted data

    What you're doing is very dangerous code inside a trigger, as it's likely to run quite a while.

    That said, you can only reference the "inserted" from within the trigger itself,...

    Is this homework or similar? If so, we can only give you general guidelines, not fully completed SQL.
