sql server 内置函数

function  Binary_CheckSum 

对大小写敏感,想忽略大小写可用CheckSum.

These functions are also valuable for comparing and indexing long string columns. Instead of creating an index on such column, you can add a column based on

the checksum or binary checksum of the value in the string column and index it instead. This type of index is typically called a hash index. SQL Server will

find matching records by comparing int values instead of comparing long strings, which might provide significant performance improvement.

对于包含长字符串的column，可以在该列值的checksum or binary checksum建索引 ，以代替直接在列值建索引，可提高performance。
