Beware the REPLACE function when doing heavy string parsing
I found something interesting the other day. I was attempting to optimize a very heavy string parsing routine using T-SQL and was having problems. I don’t normally use T-SQL for such heavy string parsing, but this was a special case of a legacy structure that I had to work with, so I had no choice.

What's a DBA
Most of us are tired of this overused, vague term. How many of you have clicked on a 'DBA' job posting only to find that it's not what you do? Or asked for a DBA resume from a recruiter and gotten something other than what you expected? Or...

Question of the Day
Which Result II
I have this code in SQL Server 2022:
CREATE SCHEMA etl;
GO
CREATE TABLE etl.product
(
ProductID INT,
ProductName VARCHAR(100)
);
GO
INSERT etl.product
VALUES
(2, 'Bee AI Wearable');
GO
CREATE TABLE dbo.product
(
ProductID INT,
ProductName VARCHAR(100)
);
GO
INSERT dbo.product
VALUES
(1, 'Spiral College-ruled Notebook');
GO
CREATE OR ALTER PROCEDURE etl.GettheProduct
AS
BEGIN
exec('SELECT ProductName FROM product;')
END;
GO
When I execute this code as a user whose default schema is dbo and has rights to the tables and proc, what is returned? See possible answers
