EDIT  It seems I was wrong about the performance on the code example  The best performer is whichever snippet runs second in the posted case  This demonstrates what I was trying to explain  and the time differences are not as dramatic   ---------------------------------- --  Monitor time differences ---------------------------------- CREATE CLUSTERED INDEX dtIDX ON  ArbDates  MyDate  DECLARE  Stopwatch DATETIME  SET  Stopwatch   GETDATE       -- SARGABLE     SELECT       FROM  ArbDates     WHERE MyDate  gt  DATEADD DAY  -364   2010-01-01     PRINT DATEDIFF MS   Stopwatch  GETDATE    SET  Stopwatch   GETDATE       -- NOT SARGABLE     SELECT       FROM  ArbDates     WHERE DATEDIFF DAY  MyDate   2010-01-01    lt  365 PRINT DATEDIFF MS   Stopwatch  GETDATE      Excuse me for posting late and my crudely commented example  but I think it important to mention SARG   SELECT I Fee FROM Item I WHERE  I DateCreated  gt  DATEADD DAY  -364  GETDATE      Although the temp table in the code below has no index  the performance is still enhanced by the fact that a comparison is done between an expression and a value in the table and not an expression that modifies the value in the table and a constant  Hope this is found to be useful   USE tempdb GO  IF OBJECT ID  tempdb dbo  ArbDates   IS NOT NULL DROP TABLE  ArbDates DECLARE  Stopwatch DATETIME   ---------------------------------- --  Build test data  100000 rows ----------------------------------  WITH Base10  n  AS       SELECT 1 UNION ALL  SELECT 1 UNION ALL  SELECT 1 UNION ALL     SELECT 1 UNION ALL  SELECT 1 UNION ALL  SELECT 1 UNION ALL     SELECT 1 UNION ALL  SELECT 1 UNION ALL  SELECT 1 UNION ALL     SELECT 1    Base100000  n  AS       SELECT 1     FROM Base10 T1  Base10 T3  Base10 T4  Base10 T5  Base10 T6   SELECT MyDate   CAST RAND CHECKSUM NEWID     3653 0 36524 0 AS DATETIME   INTO  ArbDates  FROM Base100000  ---------------------------------- --  Monitor time differences ---------------------------------- SET  Stopwatch   GETDATE        -- NOT SARGABLE     SELECT       FROM  ArbDates     WHERE DATEDIFF DAY  MyDate   2010-01-01    lt  365  PRINT DATEDIFF MS   Stopwatch  GETDATE    SET  Stopwatch   GETDATE        -- SARGABLE     SELECT       FROM  ArbDates     WHERE MyDate  gt  DATEADD DAY  -364   2010-01-01    PRINT DATEDIFF MS   Stopwatch  GETDATE
