Need help with conversion

Mar 14 2018 4:10 AM
Hi,
 
I am trying to make better performance in our sql statements. We have problems with som queries that has slow performance. It seems regarding to the sql server  estimated execution plan that the problem is implicit conversion.
 
This is my query;
 
select   abbreviation + CONVERT(varchar(23), beginTimestamp, 121) as partof
from      customer
 
abbreviation is a varchar field
beginTimestamp is a timestamp
 
and those two fields I wan't to concatenate in to one field.
In estimated execution plan I got a warning that says:  type conversion in expression (CONVERT (varchar(23), beginTimestamp, 121) may affect CardinalityEstimate in query plan choise.
 
Maybee some one can help me with this!
