I had been doing the validation with a T-SQL User Defined Function (UDF), but it was getting too slow as the number of e-mails grew. I needed a faster alternative, what options do I have?

Reading files from the operating system can be done with T-SQL as I showed in the tip Using OPENROWSET to read large files into SQL Server. What if you want to write to an operating system file? For example, writing to a text file. There's no T-SQL that supports writing to a file.

We occasionally come up with a requirement that would be a good fit for a CLR function or stored procedure. For instance we would like to call a stored procedure to get the list of files in a particular folder. How can we return the list of files as a standard result set (i.e. rows and columns) using the CLR?

I am building an ETL process between these tables in SQL Server 2022 set to 160 compatibility level:
CREATE TABLE Image_Staging ( imageid INT NOT NULL CONSTRAINT Image_StagingPK PRIMARY KEY , imagestatus TINYINT , imagebinary IMAGE); GO CREATE TABLE Images ( imageid INT NOT NULL CONSTRAINT ImagesPK PRIMARY KEY , imagestatus TINYINT , imagemodified DATETIME , imagebinary IMAGE); GOI want to run this query to check if the images already loaded exist. This will help me decide if I need to insert or update an image. What happens with this query?
SELECT i.imageid
FROM
dbo.Image_Staging AS ist
INNER JOIN dbo.Images AS i
ON ist.imagebinary = i.imagebinary; See possible answers
