The real Football just started...Nah, the Rugby Tri-Nations is about halfway through already 🙂
don't get me wrong, I worship Rugby
but....
Then we can still be friends 😉
In fairness, I did go through a phase of watching quite a lot of NFL, but don't get a feed in NZ anymore 🙁

The real Football just started, NFL Preseason. Just sayin' :Whistling:Not "real" football, American Football.
Guess where I'll be on August 29th? At my first Bronco game! Family gave me an early birthday present!
GO Broncos!
In case anyone is interested, we're trying to get together a (NFL!) fantasy football league here:

Nothing like coming in to work to find out that the server team deployed patches to production boxes, caused an outage, didn't communicate that fact, and did not follow process and agreed upon schedule.What? Schedule? Procedure? You're the DBA, you should always know what is going to occur!
(lol)
Schedule?
Procedure?

Forget the schedule.
Forget the procedures.

I'm lucky, we've got the best server team here. At first I was hesitant about another group managing patches and the hardware, as a DBA I've been heavily involved with hardware in previous jobs. These men and women in our server department are real professionals. They actually follow the procedures and are good at communicating what and when they're doing it allowing me to focus on DBA tasks and not the server maintenance.

Congrats, and enjoy!
And it is real football. Just not footsie ball.

Survived Friday the 13th, with only a broken network port on my laptop. Glad I carry a spare.

RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.

What sort of hint did you have in mind? Index hints don't work with table variables, and you can't give the PRIMARY KEY or UNIQUE constraints names anyway!Heh... I removed it from the Running Total article and you've forgotten it already. 😉 Remember? From BOL...
If a clustered index exists, INDEX(0) forces a clustered index scan and INDEX(1) forces a clustered index scan or seek. If no clustered index exists, INDEX(0) forces a table scan and INDEX(1) is interpreted as an error.

I'm sure that I read someone's blog/article about how table variables can be indexed during the declaration of the variable, and I think it was outside even of a primary key, but I can't find it anywhere. Anybody remember that/know where I could find it?Found this, which is similar, but not exactly what I remembered.
Thx
Those are the only two ways I know of. They're both in BOL as well.

As if I would forget that! Index hints just don't work at all with table variables: not even INDEX(number). You get a syntax error if you try it 😛
Even the new 2K8 OPTION (TABLE HINT...) clause is ignored (or produces an error in some cases):
DECLARE @T TABLE (A INT NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY, B INT NOT NULL UNIQUE, C CHAR DEFAULT 'Z');
INSERT @T (A, B) VALUES (1, 1), (2, 2), (3, 3);
WITH CTE AS (SELECT * FROM @T)
SELECT B, C
FROM CTE
WHERE B = 2
OPTION (TABLE HINT(CTE, INDEX(0)))
Despite the INDEX(0) hint, the plan uses a non-clustered seek plus bookmark lookup on the UNIQUE index instead.
I voted for your PASS session, I hope you get selected - I'm intrigued to see your new hierarchy idea.
