sql server - TSQL while loop vs. merge -


i'm pretty new sql , databases in general. i'm using sql server 2008 mgmt studio.

i've read using set-based operations better rbar (just learned today!).

shortly i'll show 2 equivalent (i think) queries , i'm trying see more efficient.

the first attempt:

declare @persid int declare @mag    float declare @temp table (pid int primary key)  insert @temp select persid person  while (select count(pid) @temp) > 0 begin    select top 1 @persid = pid @temp        select @mag = sqrt(sum(value*value)) personword        personword.persid = @persid     update person    set magnitude = @mag       persid  = @persid    delete @temp pid = @persid end

the second attempt:

declare @temp table (pid int primary key, mag float)  insert @temp    select persid, sqrt(sum(value*value)) personword       group persid  merge person p using @temp t    on p.persid = t.pid when matched update    set magnitude = t.mag

these saved stored procedures , estimated execution plan when running:

exec firstattempt exec secondattempt

shows 32% of batch firstattempt , 68% secondattempt

the personword table contains 41 million records...the person table contains 170,000

any thoughts/advice welcome. taking time, know how frustrating newb questions can (used math on yahoo).

edit::

running on personword having 1.3 million records , person having 3000... version merge took ~1.3 seconds execute. version while loop 6 minutes in , had completed ~15% of job.

for sort of thing, set-based not rbar!

never use table variable number of records. meant small data sets. use temp table instead , index it. way limit number of records updating. not sure why using merge anyway since simple update. code below should work. 

update p set   set magnitude = t.mag person p join  #temp t    on p.persid = t.pid magnitude <> t.mag

and depending on how going this, try store calculation needs happen once each record (and use rtigger keep updated if values change): sqrt(sum(value*value))

btw poor practice float math calculations ars introduce rounding errors since not exact.

jquery - How can I dynamically add a browser tab? -

since using iframes house external pages are, accounts "not preferred method" , disallowed sites (flickr, one), want dynamically generate browser tabs. e.g., when user submits form, want dynamically generate tab on browser in response submitted. e.g., might want add new tab url like: http://www.bigsurgarrapata.com/contact how in jquery? you want form target attribute action attribute. http://www.w3schools.com/tags/att_form_target.asp browsers have ultimate control on result of target attribute open new tab value of _blank. <form action="contact_submit.php" target="_blank" method="post">

keyboard - C++ GetAsyncKeyState alternative -

i using windows.h library's getasynckeystate function define key pushed on keyboard . here program returns int value of pushed key example. #include <iostream> #include <windows.h> using namespace std; int main (){ char i; for(i=8;i<190;i++){ if(getasynckeystate(i)== -32767){ cout<<int (i)<<endl; } } return 0; } but trying make opengl simple game , function appeared slow . there function not need cycle 180 times , if statement . thanks you're trying make opengl game, you're going use glfw. if that's case can away using glfwgetkey() such: if (glfwgetkey(glfw_key_up) == glfw_press) {...} if (glfwgetkey(glfw_key_down) == glfw_press) {...} that method nicely explained in tutorial 6 opengl-tutorial.org . should start first tutorial of beginners tutorials , later intermediate tutorials . if you're going make win32 window can listen wm_keydown or wm_keyup messages , virtua...
