Re: SQL Query Scalar Function Versus Second Table

Wilt,
That is correct, There is only one part ( A-123-300 ). The users enter that as A-123300 or A123300 and we need to be able to match it to A-123-300.
My concern really is that building an index on replace( part, '-', '' ) might impact performance, and not building it might impact the query. D**d if I do, D**d if I don't :/

No,

He said there are _NOT_ any parts that different only by where/how many dashes.

The user will sometimes enter part A-123-300 as A-123300 or even A123300.

But there's only one part.

Let me get this right.
You have two items in your item master. One is A-123300 and one is A-123-300. Now the user enters a transaction for A-12-33-00. It should strip the dashes off of A-12-33-00 and post it to the first item in the item master that (when stripped of it's dashes) matches? So we don't care about the balance of A-123-300? We can always sum up the balance for A-123300 and A-123-300 to get the total balance?
