Use string type comma separated in IN clause in sql

 declare @ProductIds nvarchar(50)='18,19'

SELECT * FROM products Where (',' + @ProductIds +',' LIKE '%,' + CONVERT(VARCHAR, ProductId) + ',%')

Total size of an index or primrary key cannot exceed 900 bytes

When we are making primrary key of a multiple columns , then normally we can face this limit of sql server. Thats fixed and hard limit. You have to simply reduce the size of your columns on which you are creating primrary key .

if you ask why ?  I also dont know why this type of limits are used in MS  SQL SERVER .

REMOVE DUPLICATE ROWS FROM A TABLE USING SQL

SQL FOR REMOVING DUPLICATE

create table demo(
  id int identity(1,1) not null,
  alpha nvarchar(50)
 
)
insert into demo select 'A'
insert into demo select 'A'
insert into demo select 'A'
insert into demo select 'A'
insert into demo select 'A'


select * from demo

;WITH cte
     AS (SELECT ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY alpha
                                       ORDER BY ( SELECT 0)) RN
         FROM   demo)
DELETE FROM cte
WHERE  RN > 1


select * from demo

update table from another table or same table using inner join

declare @temp table
 (
  Id int identity(1,1) not null,
  alpha nvarchar(50)

 )

 insert @temp  select null
 insert @temp  select null
 insert @temp  select null

 select * from @temp

declare @temp1 table
 (
  Id int identity(1,1) not null,
  alpha nvarchar(50)
 )


 insert @temp1  select 'A'
 insert @temp1  select 'B'
 insert @temp1  select 'C'

 select * from @temp1


 update @temp   set alpha=t1.alpha
 FROM   @temp as t    inner join  @temp1  as t1 ON t.id=t1.id



 select * from @temp
