    I know times are hard, but a job alert email subscription delivered me the attached vacancy today. For the record, I won't be applying. 😛

    That salary can't be...

    I think that's just Steve's warning to people presenting at PASS to take care of their voices. He's showing what happens when you get a little hoarse.

    We do not have enough information to fully answer your questions. We would need create table statements, create index statements, and sample data insert statements in order to test ourselves....

  • RE: Index seek and Index scan

    Without seeing your DDL, I can't be sure, but it sounds like your non-clustered index doesn't use tran1 in the first column.

    I heard a lecture at a SQL Saturday that...

  • RE: Removing or Replacing Data

    AndrewSQLDBA (7/20/2011)


    I forgot to mention this, but the column is a text data type, and replace is not working with Text data type.

    Can you update it to VARCHAR(MAX) without breaking...

  • RE: Removing or Replacing Data

    Why would a combination of REPLACE(), LIKE() and PATINDEX() not work here?

    Restore from backup. Log file missing, database not cleanly shut down.

    So just restore over the exist rather than delete first?

    Have you tried the REPLACE() function?

    Speaking of DVDs, who gets the proceeds of the Summit DVDs? Do the presenters get any cut of that at all?
