  • RE: I got burned today at a SQL Server Interview!

    Roy,

    Have you ever thought about talking to your boss about this? Ask him why you've stopped getting recognition?

    It could be he has higher expectations of you since that moment...

  • RE: I got burned today at a SQL Server Interview!

    BTW, the OP mentioned he applied for this job because he has to pay the mortgage. I notice, however, he didn't mention at all whether or not he's actually...

    I just wish the computer would do want I want, not what I tell it to do. It would be sooo much easier.

    Amen to that!

    Dear Ms. Gila Monster,

    NO, I am not being honest about my lack of knowledge of SQL Server! Think about it!! If my resume is junior level, nobody will even...

  • RE: The Cost of Function Use In A Where Clause

    FYI, I know I need to reverse the BeginDate in the above code with the DateAdd. But it was when I got to the AND part of the WHERE...

  • RE: The Cost of Function Use In A Where Clause

    Okay, but we're still running under the assumption that @StartDate and @EndDate are constants set by the coder/end user. What if they're dynamic?

    I have a situation where I actually...

  • RE: The Cost of Function Use In A Where Clause

    That's what I'm wondering, Ruben. I asked that in an earlier post and haven't seen a response yet.

    I can't think of a good way to optimize that one. ...

  • RE: The Cost of Function Use In A Where Clause

    If you want to go with Jeremy's suggestion, you can also throw an index on the Temp table to speed your searching. Though, it might not be worth it.

    Regardless,...

  • RE: Updating package with identity value from DW

    Matt,

    You actually have a separate DB to do the scrubbing?

    Hmmm. I didn't think about that idea. Originally I was going to use staging tables in the DW, but...

  • RE: The Cost of Function Use In A Where Clause

    The most common function I use in a WHERE clause is a convert. Usually "WHERE Convert(char(10),ModifiedOn,101) = Convert(char(10),GetDate(),101)". Usually because I'm in the middle of a data update...

  • RE: Updating package with identity value from DW

    Hmm. The flaw with the variable idea is if there are no records yet, even if you use an isnull(max(customerkey),0), it will fail the task as unable to set...

  • RE: Updating package with identity value from DW

    The mainframe data for customer names is close. Firstname is 10 characters, LastName is 15 characters and they keep middle initials (1 character) that we don't track in SQL....

  • RE: Updating package with identity value from DW

    You've hit the nail pretty much on the head.

    We have two OLTP systems where from our SQL Server we export the data to the mainframe. The mainframe system has...

    Have you looked into transactional replication?

    There's also database mirroring that might help you.
