I have a legacy stored procedure that I’m trying to modify.
This is a dump of the data that’s in the table that’s being modified.
Each time the PayrollRateID (2nd column, example values shown here 25, 27, 28 etc) increments the ‘Incrementer’ column needs incrementing.
The ID column is generated using Row_Number()
Whoever wrote the stored procedure is using a column to go down each row in the table, and set the value of the incrementer column each time the PayrollRateID value cahnges. This, unfortunately, is taking a couple of minutes to do 20,000 odd rows. That’s just a few days data, if I run with a month’s worth, well, you can imagine the performance issue I’m getting.
The logic of the sproc is to start off with an incrementer value of 0, and with the first PayrollRateID (in the example – 25), give all those 0’s, when the PayrollRateID changes, then increment the count in the incrementer column, and give all the next value (in the example – 27’s) a 1, when it changes to the next value (in my example 28) then give the incrementer column a 2, etc.

I’m going to try and group on PayrollRateID, and use Row_Number() to generate the value for the Incrementer column.
Any better suggestions would be very much appreciated.
