@dezso In MSSQL we have Filtered Indexes. It's the same concept.

Service Broker could be your friend if some delay is allowed. Under normal circumnstances, the delay can be very short.

comment Need help in converting this cursor to a set based operation
RichardTheKiwi's answer looks good. However, I would check if populating a 8 million rows (temporary?) table from a 8 million rows (temporary?) table is really what you want to do. You probably want to process the results further and the temp table looks like a waste of resources. The same results can likely be achieved querying the original table(s) directly.

@Sebastian Thanks for clarifying. Actually, I have a "vote to delete this post" link next to the edit link. Maybe it's a privilege unlocked with more rep than I have.

comment SQL Server 2008 R2 Restore COPY_ONLY full backup with transaction logs
@Sebastian you're right, I'll try to be less "tranchant" in the future. However, trying the backup/restore solution would have saved a lot of time and increased the knowledge of the OP more than any baked solution we may post.
