7/13/2020 - Richard's Way: Four Easy Steps To Create Complex SQL That Runs Fast
Recently I was faced with taking over the maintenance of a complex series of functions and stored procedures that produced student transcripts. What I found amazing was that the code had a massive amount of business rules that it needed to implement, yet it still ran incredibly fast. The creator of the code is my good friend Richard Waddell , and he took it for granted that the code would work so well. If I were faced with the same challenges he had, I doubt that I would have been able to succeed as well as he did. However, after studying his style and realizing that he basically follows 4 basic rules, I feel I can create any complex SQL that is easily maintainable and runs fast and efficiently.
