    Something else to check:

    Did you explicitly specify the schema name of the table on the ALTER?

    If not, make sure you are not accidentally working with a similar table / table...

    D'OH, got interrupted by work, forgot one thing.

    Yeah, that join is not being processed well.

    First, try just forcing a HASH join, i.e. writing "INNER HASH JOIN" instead of just INNER JOIN: that should be better here than...

  • RE: Get total from table Item: computed column or group by?

    Better would be an inline-table-valued-function.

    If you intend to stick with a scalar function, at least get rid of the variable:

    create function dbo.fu_salesTotal(@idSale int)

    returns decimal(12,2)

    as

    begin;

    return isnull((

  • RE: How do you pad left like using T-SQL query?

    If you're padding a numeric value, I'd suggest using the built-in function:

    STR()

    I suspect that will perform better than writing the same thing out in your own code.

    For this query:

  • RE: Rename a Database and keep msdb..restorehistory details

    I think easiest would be to keep your own table of the original name and new name, then you can search for the original name in the history.
