Why are you changing obvious integer data types to character data types?
Please read any book on basic data modelling and look at the chapters on scales and measurements....

With an existing table, you already know what the length of the columns will be, whether varchar or not. The formula provides you with the additional overhead SQL requires...

It has to be the pointy-haired boss types that hire Celko. No one who actually knew any practical implementations would ever change obvious numeric values to character. There'd...

Books Online has very specific formulas for how to do that, under:

This should definitely be faster. I've tested it for ASC sort but not for DESC -- I believe I've coded it to correctly handle DESC sort, I just haven't...

As an aside, if possible, TRUNCATE the table rather than use DELETE to reduce logging.

Code below could perform better, esp. if table2 and table3 don't have an index that directly supports the lookup/comparison being done.
Edit: And performance could be worse with this code ......
