Hi everyone

I’m pretty sure you already know that, but anyway:

I tested today if the MS SQL Server’s Query Optimizer is smart enough, so it seems it is. There is no difference in executions plans for these two queries:

Select * From table1 Where Name Like ‘%’ Order By Name

And

Select * From table1

It seems it figures I want all the records and simply removes the where from the query. The good thing is I can always write LIKE parameterized queries, and if I need some of the records, I send the parameter; if I need them all, I send ‘%’ and there will no performance penalty.
