  • RE: LIKE (Wild Card) Functionality in Conditional Split Transformation

    xanthos (9/1/2008)


    The substring functio should be:

    SUBSTRING(name,1,2) = "ab"

    Actually, the substring function should be SUBSTRING(name,1,2) == "ab".

    If you use a single = sign, SSIS assumes you are assigning a value to...

    Actually, recursive CTE is not far from RBAR (can be even worse in performance)...

    Not strictly true. A good example of RBAR would be performing a running...

  • RE: CTE - Avoiding the cursor

    Just an FYI:

    Earlier, I was seeing 3 duplicate numbers when running your original NewID() solution. Repeated runnings seems to generate between 0 - 5 duplicate numbers with no discernible pattern...

  • RE: CTE - Avoiding the cursor

    Eugene Elutin (7/12/2010)

    Sorry, but your real issue is not reading answers carefully and not trying to run given samples of code.

    And perhaps you should test your own code too?

    Yes, I...

  • RE: Help with dynamic cross-tab

    Ah. Yes. Pivot does require aggregation. Sorry. I didn't realize that's what you're doing.

    Hmm. Now I'm wondering if there's a way to trick Pivot into doing an aggregation that isn't...

  • RE: "Invalid Column" syntax error when using IF EXISTS

    Bleargh. I had a feeling that was going to be the answer.

    Oh, well. If I hadn't asked the question, there would have been an alternative. @=)

    As my loop is generic code, I really don't want to define a column list (I am copying 600 tables).
