    You stated nothing about equipment_id in your original post.  How am I supposed to include logic for your equipment_ids when you tell us nothing about them?!

    Gen script should be able to do that, just specify the correct scripting options in SSMS before you gen the script.

  • Reply To: Left JOIN Works Appears to Only Work with Certain Table

    ...

  • Reply To: While Loop Data Issue

    Best practice is to use a tally table in preference to a loop, so I added that to the code.  No test data provided so I couldn't test the code.
