Steve Jones

My background is I have been working with computers since I was about 12. My first "career" job in this industry was with network administration where I became the local DBA by default. I have also spent lots of time administering Netware and NT networks, developing software, managing smaller IT groups, making lots of coffee, ordering pizza for late nights, etc., etc.

I currently am the editor of SQL Server Central and an advocate/architect at Redgate Software. I am also the President of SQL Saturday, maintain the T-SQL Tuesday monthly party, and remember our colleagues at sqlmemorial.org.

BIT_COUNT II

In SQL Server 2025, I have a table (dbo.UserPermission) that contains this data: 

UserID  UserPermissions

23
37
4       NULL
What is returned when I run this code: 
select bit_count(UserPermissions) as PermissionCount
from dbo.UserPermission
where UserID = 4;
