  • RE: What's a safe backup?

    I have to agree with Gus & Ninja. Yes, you can do it, but there are so many things that can go wrong with that method (like accidentally deleting the...

  • RE: Retrieving records for accounts opened between the first day and the last day of previous month

    Why are you converting your dates to strings?

    I have always had problems with BETWEEN dropping records on me, so I never use it. I always go this route:

    SH_ACCT.open_dt >= dateadd(mm,datediff(mm,0,dateadd(mm,-2,getdate())),0)...

  • RE: When to use full-text

    I think your scenario highlights a very real problem with Full-Text.

  • RE: remove last character from string

    You could always use the RIGHT and LEFT functions.

    Declare @MyVar char(6);

    Set @MyVar = 'abcdef';

    Select @MyVar = LEFT(RIGHT(@MyVar,5),4);

    Select @MyVar;

    UPDATE import_table

    SET cost_code=@MyVar;

    If the domains don't trust each other, I don't think any amount of SQL perms verification will help. Check with your domain admin to make sure that A) the domains...
