  • RE: t-sql 2012 passing lot of values in a parameter

    Best is to use a very efficient splitter, such as DelimitedSplit8K, and then do an INNER JOIN to those results:

    DECLARE @custID varchar(200)

    set @custID = '72793,60546,91069'

    SELECT tn.*

    FROM table_name tn

    INNER JOIN dbo.DelimitedSplit8K...

  • RE: Change table structure

    You can also do it with just a single scan of the data table:

    CROSS APPLY (

    VALUES(Car, ColorOption1),(Car, ColorOption2),(Car, ColorOption3)

    ) AS ca1(Car,ColorOption)
