LN,
I hope you realize that your data is not normalized (or it is
denormalized). I think it would be better if you had something like
this:
CREATE TABLE PurchaseTypes
(purchase_type TINYINT NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY
,description VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL
)

CREATE TABLE LoanComp

Re: How can I conditionally join against a table for better performance?

2009-12-11T17:58:25Z

When you add "AND 0=1" to the WHERE clause, then the query plan will
change completely. You can no longer compare that query with your
original.
I will take a wild guess: maybe column B.Col2 is not indexed. Or even
worse, maybe table B has no indexes at all. If that is the case, then
the optimizer has hardly any option for serious optimization.

Yes you can install and run SQL Server locally as long as your machine meets
the minimum requirements (search MSDN for "SQL Server minimum
requirements"). If your database is not too large you may be able to use
SQL Express locally (free download from Microsoft) to test your imports.

You would need a SQL Server for this. That could be like Express Edition
(free) or Developer Edition (cheap, like Enterprise but not allowed to run
production work).

You can download and install the free SQL Express edition locally:

For development it may be worth it to purchase the Developer Edition for ~$50.

I have a SQL Server db on my hosting site. It's used for my business
shopping cart. I want to impoort some new items into it, but do not
want to take a chance messing things up, so I would like to have a
development system to do test imports into.
I have a backed up copy of the db and have ftp'd it to my client. Is

News servers will only keep posts for X period of time, if you are using
the newsgroup via a website, then the website may have stored the
original post, and not deleted them like the news server may have done.
I believe its called Retention.
If you reply to a post via a website, sometimes only the website will

Yes, that is true for me in the

microsoft.public.sqlserver.pro gramming. Also, there are posts that were
answered in NNTP, but the answers are not reflected here.
However, in the NNTP world of the msnews.microsoft.com server the

Re: Difference between CTE and correlated query

A CTE is like a "local VIEW". It can reference other CTEs that were
declared before it in the statement.
A derived table appears in the SELECT statement in the FROM clause.
A scalar subquery appears in the SELECT clause, FROM clause, WHERE
clause, etc. -- anywhere a scalar value can appear.
Usually a CTE is used more than once, to save copying the same derived
