Generating a Bar Code

SQL Server is asked to do many tasks, including scheduling processes, transferring data using DTS in an ETL process, sending mail, updating other systems, generating reports and more. However this one might a bit unsual: using SQL Server and T-SQL to generate a bar code. Ivaca Masar brings us this unique look at how you can stretch the limits of T-SQL.

Question of the Day

Restoring On Top II

I have a database, DNRTest, that has a number of tables and other objects in it. The other day, I was trying to mock up a test and ran this code on the same server: 

-- run yesterday
CREATE DATABASE DNRTest2
GO
USE DNRTest2
GO
CREATE TABLE NewTable (id INT)
GO
Today, I realize that I need a copy of DNRTest for another mockup, and I run this: 
-- run today
USE Master
BACKUP DATABASE DNRTest TO DISK = 'dnrtest.bak'
GO
RESTORE DATABASE DNRTest2 FROM DISK = 'dnrtest.bak' WITH REPLACE
What happens?
