An Imperfect Life

1st May is called a "Labor Day" or "May Day" which is celebrated throughout INDIA. In some countries the entire week is celebrated as Labor week.

This information is mostly helpful in debugging the code, but it is useless after that. By setting SET NOCOUNT ON, we can disable the feature of returning this extra information. For stored procedures that contain several statements or contain Transact-SQL loops, setting SET NOCOUNT to ON can provide a significant performance boost because network traffic is greatly reduced. CREATE PROC dbo.ProcName AS SET NOCOUNT ON; --Procedure code here SELECT column1 FROM dbo.Tbl...
