Hi everyone
I’m pretty sure you already know that, but anyway: I tested today if the MS SQL Server’s Query Optimizer is smart enough, so it seems it is. There is no difference in executions plans for these two queries: Select * From table1 Where Name Like ‘%’ Order By Name And Select * From table1 It seems it figures I want all the records and simply removes the where from the query. The good thing is I can always write LIKE parameterized queries, and if I need some of the records, I send the parameter; if I need them all, I send ‘%’ and there will no performance penalty. --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/alternative text/plain (text body -- kept) text/html --- _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
