Ready to tune some TSQL? In this challenge, you’re given a database to restore. You’ll create two indexes and a constraint in the database– and you aren’t allowed to change those.
Your mission, if you choose to accept it, is to tune the TSQL in a stored procedure so it can make the best use of the given indexes – and still returns the same results. You’re given two sample calls to the procedure, and your goal is to make it as fast as possible.
