Use '=' or LIKE to compare strings in SQL?
o see the performance difference, try this:
SELECT count(*)
FROM master..sysobjects as A
JOIN tempdb..sysobjects as B
on A.name = B.name
SELECT count(*)
FROM master..sysobjects as A
JOIN tempdb..sysobjects as B
on A.name LIKE B.name
Comparing strings with '=' is much faster.
