Notes: Questions and Topics

TriPASS Elections

It’s election season for TriPASS and we have a slate of electors up for vote. If you are a TriPASS member, you’ll have received an e-mail about this.

Common Table Expressions

A question came in from chat:

Hi Kevin, I got a question as a beginner in SQL. When I am writing queries that requires a combination of joins inside multiple CTE’s, I get a timeout error in my application. Individually, the CTE’s work, and work until a number of CTE’s are joined. Is there a way to optimize this type of query?

Mike and I talked a bit about the topic and dug in further. The good news is that the chatter followed up with me afterward and we did, in fact, help with this problem. There’s a first time for everything, I suppose.

SSMS 21

Our other topic was what’s coming in SQL Server Management Studio 21. We talked about blog posts from Brent Ozar, Reitse Eskens, and Vlad Drumea. Along the way, I outed myself as a Light Mode beacon of brilliance.
