  • 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...

    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. @=)

  • RE: Query Help for Newb

    So many potential solutions. I like Steve's solution stuffed in a sub-query and broken out into separate columns. Then just do a count in the outer query and group by...

    Alan G-436699 (7/12/2010)


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

    Column List in the SELECT part of the...

  • RE: Help with dynamic cross-tab

    Do a search on phrase "Dynamic Pivot". See if that helps you out. Then post back on this thread with further questions about it.

  • RE: problem with xp_cmdshell and proxy

    Well that depends on where the .exe file is located. If it's on a UNC or Share drive, you just need to add the proxy account to that path's Security...

    Does the proxy account have permissions on MSDB to execute the dbmail procs? Does it have write permissions on the share where the log file is kept? Does it have...

    will s (7/8/2010)


    The "new alert" wizard doesn't have a "when this job fails" option, which is what I really want.

    That's your problem right there. You cannot save the password for that login when using "DontSaveSensitive". The point of that protection level is that the package does not save passwords....
