  • RE: RAID 10, Crystal Disk Mark Weird score?

    Verify with your SAN administrator, but it does sound correct. Then again, I've never used Raid 10, so I wouldn't know for sure.

    Or, if you are the admin, verify with...

  • RE: remove last character from string

    Sean Lange (7/26/2011)


    Nothing wrong with it as long you realize you are only going to the first 3 characters in your string.

    In addition to this statement, if the datatype is...

  • RE: sp_send_dbmail

    So far as I know (and I could be wrong) Padding Off is Padding Off. You can't have padding in the query result and not between the lines. It's a...

  • RE: Stored proc returning puzzling error - Invalid column name

    Since your pseudocode isn't in a Create Procedure format, we can't tell anything from what you've posted. For one, we don't even know if you've declared your input variables correctly.

    Could...

  • RE: XML help

    Can you include Create Table statements and Insert statements with sample data? It would help us come up with a solution that works for you without it being broken.

  • RE: Query on Linked Server fails when using a table alias?? Help!

    Your problem is "Server ip".

    An IP address has 3 periods (aka decimal points) in it. That is the 3 periods used by a linked server. Hence, the rest of...

  • RE: select SERVERPROPERTY('COLLATION')

    I missed this when I looked earlier. Table sys.servers has a column called collation_name. Mine is NULL because we use the default, which is based on the OS collation. (Note:...

  • RE: Except vs. Left Join vs. Not Exists

    I haven't used Except yet, and I seldom use Not Exists. But now, I'm going to try and see what I come up with.

    You're probably crazy, but that doesn't...

  • RE: Query is not summarizing results

    Okay, I do have a question. Is this query for a report?

    You can't have line item detail and a summary together that will display correctly in SSMS. You get to...

  • RE: Query is not summarizing results

    Ignoring Celko's comment about best SQL programming practices (which he and I will always disagree on to some extent), he's correct that we need more information in order to assist...

  • RE: select SERVERPROPERTY('COLLATION')

    Hence my edited comment.

    I'm trying to figure this one out. I know that sys.databases has collation, but I'm not sure where the server information is or even if that's where...

  • RE: select SERVERPROPERTY('COLLATION')

    Have you tried running sp_helptext on the function?

    EDIT: Nevermind. Apparently it doesn't work on this function.

    A little funny for the day.
