  • RE: Querying a database for a list of tables

    Fernando,

    You actually have a pretty good solution. Unless the table information needs to be further processed, that proc is a quick and dirty way to get the list. The proc...

  • RE: Nested curosors

    You're asking us to diagnose a problem without telling us what your error is or your expected results from the comparison. If you truly believe a table JOIN is not...

  • RE: using IDENTITY_INSERT when repopulating a table

    A note on "sessions". In SSMS, a session is one continuously open query window or, in other SQL apps, one continuous connection. You can't do Identity Insert in two separate...

  • RE: SQL Query not running...

    Lynn,

    I'm not talking values. I'm talking names. If the collation is not the same as the one he listed, then the name "trade_date" might not be the column name.

    But again,...

  • RE: Group By clause

    Matt Miller (3/9/2009)

    Why wouldn't it guarantee uniqueness? You end up with distinct combinations of each item in the GROUP BY list, which is essentially what the DISTINCT will do....

  • RE: Database Mail not sending the attached text file

    I put the Domain User in the Administrators Group and also in the 'sysadmin' Server DB Role.

    ACK! Domain Admin BAD karma for security reasons. Make the user account a plain...

  • RE: SSIS best practice for identiying/gathering WW data effeciently

    I understand what you're saying about the timestamp perfectly. However, you're still sending a ton of records one way or the other over the network. Let me put it this...

  • RE: SQL Query not running...

    If you aren't getting the values you expect, then something is wrong. Either your table / column is case sensitive despite the fact that your DB is case insensitive or...

    When I talk about processing resources, I'm not talking about field by field. I'm talking about having to take the timestamp of your DW to the timestamp of either your...

  • RE: Group By clause

    Bob Hovious (3/9/2009)


    I have colleagues who use GROUP BY clauses without aggregation in place of a SELECT DISTINCT. The results appear to be the same. I've always used a DISTINCT...

    sotn (3/9/2009)


    I wasn't suggesting to use Timestamp as a date comparison just a value comparison, as I would be doing a join based on the primary key field (not the...

  • RE: (Not so) Simple update query

    I'd agree with the temp mapping table approach because a CASE statement can inadvertantly overwrite an "earlier" conversion if you're not careful. Also, you can use the IN for the...
