Hi Sergey,
Well, learn something new every day. I didn't realize varchar and char data types where treated differently in comparisons. Couldn't find anything in BOL explaining this.
Unfortunatly, this database is being replicated, so making changes to the data structures is a pain. I suppose I'll have to add an index until the next time we re-create the publications and snapshots.
Thanks for the explaination.
>If cZip is or you can make it of data type varchar that you don't need LEFT() function. You can test it with Nortwind DB.
SELECT Customers.*
