    @DATA_DT_ID AS int = 20081130
WITH RECOMPILE
AS
BEGIN
    /*
        Usage:
            


        

Answer 1

Prevent parameter sniffing or you are toast when statistics change. I have 500+ sps and all of them start with:

DECLARE @_Param1 ..., @_ParamN

--- prevent pameter sniffing
SELECT @_Param1 = @Param1, @_ParamN = @ParamN
