  • RE: how to find an integer value from varchar

    Unfortunately, using the LIKE operator always affects query performance. For one, if you use the wildcard on both sides of the search syntax, then you can inadvertantly generate tablescans.

  • RE: URGENT Help needed

    I take it you don't have any previous backups (to the one you're currently using) that might have these 8 tables on it?

  • RE: Left Outer Join Help

    If all else fails, change the order of your tables. @=)

    Sometimes with INNER JOIN table order doesn't matter, but I usually go from the table that's likely to have the...

  • RE: Changing Career Gears

    That's a good point, John. Unfortunately, when I was studying for my cert, I didn't know of any local users groups. They don't advertise very well in my...

    1) You're using the wrong keys to join...

  • RE: Restoring bak files

    anjanasl,

    To expand on what Matt said, probably you're saving your backup to a previously created backup device which itself has two media families. Are you doing this through the...

  • RE: transactSQL variables?

    Just an FYI. If you want to append anything, dates, times, characters, to a name (table/column/backup file) in a SQL Script, generally you have to build it in a...
