You may find that my previous link has a lot of overlap with your findings: http://www.sommarskog.se/dyn-search.html

Lots of test cases, a bucket load of data, results, timings, implications, etc. Has possibly been the most useful single link / article that I have ever been given.

Hmmm... After reviewing the discussions, it seems that the flame wars have scared off a potentially good author since this is the only article he's published in 4 years.

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.

Sorry, Jeff, but thinking of a topic is actually more of an issue, these days. Thank you for your encouragement, however.

Probably a good thing for him. He doesn't seem to be able to put up with criticism, which is unavoidable when you post something publicly.
Bad for us, for sure.

Comments posted to this topic are about the item The Elusive Conditional WHERE Clause

You say "The â€œ0=@pConditionâ€ tells our sproc to ignore all subsequent @pCondition filters."

But I always figured just the opposite was true... it would certainly be NICE if the engine had the sensible "short-circuiting" processing logic of the .Net framework, for example, in order to exclude superfluous tests, but what evidence is there that it does? I mean, how do you know that the engine doesn't evaluate everything else in the WHERE clause???

Thanks!
