  • RE: Thinking of starting a dating site for DBAs

    It's not the inner and outer joins I'm worried about. It's the cross joins!!

  • RE: how can a simple join be so mysterious

    My eyes are getting old too.

    The query has to produce the same results when it's reversed, so what else could it be?

    You have in the first query:

    ON agrt778.prd = itdmn78.prodno

    and in the second query:

    ON itdmn78.PRDNO = agrt778.prd

  • RE: Transaction Log Grows Too Big

    This sounds like a job for SSIS to me. As someone said earlier, use SSIS to load the data in smaller batches.
