sql server 2005 - SQL EXCEPT performance -


i'm trying use query similar following query find differences between 2 tables (the same table in dev database vs test database). each table has ~30k rows , ~5 columns.

select field1,field2,field3,field4,field5 dev.dbo.table1  field1+field2 in ('string1','string2','string3',...,'string50') except select field1,field2,field3,field4,field5 test.dbo.table1  field1+field2 in ('string1','string2','string3',...,'string50')

field1 char(5) , field2 char(1)

this query never terminates.

when analyze query using set showplan_all on, can see there nested loop pretty high in tree. when change above query to

select * dev.dbo.table1  except select * test.dbo.table2

the query runs , there no nested loop in execution plan.

can explain this? don't understand why there drastic difference.

my best guess optimizer doing poor job of estimating cardinality (size) of 2 tables. because underestimates size, generating poor query plan.

in sql server, can use join hints on except. so, can query want with:

select field1,field2,field3,field4,field5 dev.dbo.table1  field1+field2 in ('string1','string2','string3',...,'string50') except select field1,field2,field3,field4,field5 test.dbo.table1  field1+field2 in ('string1','string2','string3',...,'string50') option (hash join, merge join)

this eliminates option of nested loop join, choosing more favorable method.

Why does Ruby on Rails generate add a blank line to the end of a file? -

running rails generate controller foo home results in: class foocontroller < application controller def home end end (there's nothing on line in actual file, blank line) is there purpose blank line? it's common use newline indicate end of line, last line. many editors (like vi, use) add in newline silently. consensus text files (especially in unix world) should end in newline, , there have been problems historically if wasn't present. why should text files end newline? the tool used count lines in file "wc" counts newlines in file, without trailing newline show 3 instead of 4. it improves readability of templates used in generator. consider: https://github.com/rails/rails/blob/master/railties/lib/rails/generators/rails/controller/templates/controller.rb to remove trailing newline, template have last line of: end<% end -%> instead of: end <% end -%> that seems less readable me. the discussion below refers ...
