Answer 1

hey i tried this in some different way just give it a try,
i am using ABC Table as you give in the above example and considering the column you gave in it.
if the attached code is also taking time then try with using query hints like (nolock) , creating index on table columns etc.

Thanks!

Hi,

i think here is the typo in date insted of 2/1/2009 you have put 2/2/2009 name,1/1/2009 2/2/2009

if possible can you please put your query/code here. to see where you are missing.

Thanks!
