All of the queries we’ve looked at so far will return all of the records in a table. This isn’t very efficient. The Where clause filters records out of your result set that you do not want. For example, suppose we’re only interested in Sales Order Master records for “Acme Rockets Inc.” The following select […] I mentioned in my last article that I would be posting a video showing you the basics of working with Toad for SQL Server. What do you think of my first effort? Tweet As I mentioned in the last article, you need to develop or adopt a standardized way of writing T-SQL code. In this article, I’m going to share the habits I’ve developed, “my way” if you will. Vizzini: Finish him. Finish him, your way. “First learn stand, then learn fly.
