Hi
I have a table say T in SQL Server 2005 database and it has two columns say A and B, which more often than not won't have any values in them. How to check whether A and B are empty (has all zero length strings) or not?
I have this naive way of doing it -
select count(*) as A_count from T where A <> ''
Let's assume A has data type varchar.
I was wondering whether I can get the same information using a system table, and if so would that be faster than this query?
cheers
