Mikael Eriksson Mikael Eriksson k 21 21 gold badges silver badges bronze badges. I ended up on this question because I was googling for a way to optimize a slow interactive application that does about K update statements over the course of a minute.
Putting it all in a transcation doesn't help because it's the dispatch and roundtrip time for all the SQL statements that takes up the majority of the time. This shd be the accepted answer as its applicable to updating n number of rows from a table that already exists as well — SO User. Goutam A.

The Overflow Blog. Only the SET expression will perform updates but listing additional tables will allow the tables to be included. Similarly to expanding the WHERE clause, the amount of tables can be expanded to include all the tables you need if you have multiple tables that need to be joined on. Getting a crosstab format table into a tabular format can be done with many queries and UNIONs or Chartio has a Data Pipeline step that can help you accomplish this task.

WRITE expression , Offset , Length clause to perform a partial or full update of varchar max , nvarchar max , and varbinary max data types. For example, a partial update of a varchar max column might delete or modify only the first bytes of the column characters if using ASCII characters , whereas a full update would delete or modify all the data in the column.
WRITE updates that insert or append new data are minimally logged if the database recovery model is set to bulk-logged or simple. Minimal logging is not used when existing values are updated. You cannot use the. Offset and Length are specified in bytes for varbinary and varchar data types and in byte-pairs for the nvarchar data type.
For best performance, we recommend that data be inserted or updated in chunk sizes that are multiples of bytes. If the column modified by the. See example R that follows. To achieve the same functionality of. Supplying a value in a SQL Server system data type, as long as the user-defined type supports implicit or explicit conversion from that type.
The following example shows how to update a value in a column of user-defined type Point , by explicitly converting from a string. Invoking a method, marked as a mutator, of the user-defined type, to perform the update. The following example invokes a mutator method of type Point named SetXY. This updates the state of the instance of the type. SQL Server returns an error if a mutator method is invoked on a Transact-SQL null value, or if a new value produced by a mutator method is null.
Modifying the value of a registered property or public data member of the user-defined type. The expression supplying the value must be implicitly convertible to the type of the property.
The following example modifies the value of property X of user-defined type Point. To modify different properties of the same user-defined type column, issue multiple UPDATE statements, or invoke a mutator method of the type.
However, a large amount of data is more efficiently streamed into a file by using Win32 interfaces. You cannot use. If an update to a row violates a constraint or rule, violates the NULL setting for the column, or the new value is an incompatible data type, the statement is canceled, an error is returned, and no records are updated. When an UPDATE statement encounters an arithmetic error overflow, divide by zero, or a domain error during expression evaluation, the update is not performed.
The rest of the batch is not executed, and an error message is returned. If an update to a column or columns participating in a clustered index causes the size of the clustered index and the row to exceed 8, bytes, the update fails and an error message is returned.
UPDATE statements are allowed in the body of user-defined functions only if the table being modified is a table variable. Without this relationship, the query plan may produce unexpected join behavior and unintended query results. The following examples demonstrate correct and incorrect methods of specifying a CTE when the CTE is the target object of the update operation.
To avoid these higher level locks, consider dividing update statements that affect thousands of rows or more into batches, and ensure that any join and filter conditions are supported by indexes. WRITE clause are minimally logged. Examples in this section demonstrate the basic functionality of the UPDATE statement using the minimum required syntax. The following example updates a single column for all rows in the Person. Address table.
