  • RE: Theorhetical MERGE Question

    I will try the code with the Merge. I've already done the non-Merge method, which required several statements. Maybe Merge can help me compress that a bit.

  • RE: Nested loop outer join question

    John,

    Your first post indicates that your real code is much more complicated than the code you posted in this thread. Is that true?

    If so, can you post the code so...

  • RE: Theorhetical MERGE Question

    That's what I was wondering. Thank you, Gus. You have saved me some head-banging time.

  • RE: SET or SELECT to assign a default value to a nullable variable

    drew.allen (5/17/2012)


    I prefer this to prevent NULL values.

    DECLARE @L_ZERO INT = 0

    SELECT @L_ZERO = IdMyTable FROM MyTable WHERE ColumnRef = 1000

    Drew

    Drew, how does that prevent NULL from overriding your 0?

  • RE: Active and Inactive users

    If there's no auditing, then the only possible option is to look at Active Directory for those logins that are domain logins. If they're all SQL logins, there is nothing...

    If you want an answer, you should post the name of the solution you found and ask for reviews.

  • RE: Active and Inactive users

    Unless you've been auditing the logins, there's no good way to tell. Nothing in the system, that I am aware of, can give you this information.

    Sorry.

    EDIT: On the other hand,...

  • RE: Nested loop outer join question

    John,

    Gail is asking you to save the execution plan as a .sqlplan and attach it to your post. Do you know how to do this?

  • RE: incremental Load

    You are welcome.

    Just an FYI, though. You posted your question in the wrong group. Try General under 2008 or Business Intelligence under 2005 (which covers both 2k5 & 2k8).

    Hey, Steve, can you change the birth year in my profile to read 1776, please?
