Hi

some time ago I came across the problem of executing
an "outer apply (select top ..." statement across a linked server, where the performance is very slow, whereas the same statement run s very quickly when executed in the remote database. Can anyone point me in the direction of an article describing this issue, I've tried searching for this but to no avail.

I just wanted to refresh my memory of why this is an issue and if there are any ways around it.

thanks


Sean
