    I have a question for all the SQL Saturday organizers.

  • 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.

    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: 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?
