Hi All,
So I've been set a challenge by my team leader to try and improve the efficiency of some of our SQL jobs on a test system (obviously eventually to live but test for now).
Basically we have a series of 7 jobs that truncate some transfer tables and reload fresh data from the main database in to them ready for transfer to a different system.
She would like to get rid of the jobs and just make a stored procedure that does the same thing. As I've been enthusiastic about learning more about SQL she asked if I would do it as a learning experience. I honestly didn't even know where to start so pulled the SQL out of the jobs and have trimmed it down a bit (they all reference the same database so I only need one reference to the database etc) and gone from there.
At the moment the script is looking like the following:
Use *database*
truncate...
