    And here is it 😀

  • RE: I lied, now what?

    majorbloodnock (1/25/2011)

  • RE: Short circuit SQL query

    Watch the performance. Probably want an index on Datetime include Variable4 for this. No point in having Variable4 in the key, that predicate's not exactly SARGable.

    This is actually data...

    GilaMonster (12/6/2010)


    Or, as an (untested) alternative.

    Select

    Distinct RCD.Variable4

    FROM Route_Call_Detail RCD

    WHERE RCD.[DateTime] > '12/4/10'

    AND RCD.[DateTime] < '12/5/10'

    AND CASE WHEN SUBSTRING(RCD.Variable4, 1,...
