tuning 101 is a great book but it doesnt focus on sql.

Guy harrisons Sql Tuning book is all sql. However, he states that in some cases using a cursor and then updating off the cursor can be faster than doing an update with exists...

dont know if that is correct. I ran that every which way and how with all types of table combinations and size, etc...

it was ALWAYS slower. and alot slower. Everything else seems accurate as far as I can tell, but Im not a tuning expert. Received on Thu Jun 26 2003 - 12:13:43 CDT
