Simple issue that Mark Callaghan mentioned on DDL operation. I found the back porting interesting, not always a possible option, and the out-coming results. Nothing to comment on top of what was already stated there, but mentioning it because interesting to read.
Until very recently, SQL Azure was the only solution offering SQL server on cloud, Google Cloud SQL offering MySQL only and Amazon offering MySQL and Oracle Not anymore! The online retail and cloud solution giant is now offering SQL server as part of its RDS service and also added ASP.NET support for AWS Elastic Beanstalk
I was presented with test results which showed that IN query was about 100 times faster than OR query. Where OR query took minutes to run, IN query took seconds! Ok, I said to myself, it is time to start digging. Here are my findings.
