  • RE: Error when using trigger

    Bart,

    you most likely have an implicit casting issue in your proc. 

    Using a linked server in a trigger, huh?  That seems like a bad idea performance-wise.

  • RE: SP or func to determine a suitable datatype

  • RE: Query to get a list of parent records that have no child records

    If the relationship of Case to Action is "One to Many" (and I would assume it is) then using "Where Not Exists" with a "Top 1" may be more efficient then a left join:

  • RE: Triggers

    This works Beautifully:

    DBCC INPUTBUFFER(@@spid)

    It will return the sproc name or the query string (if uncompiled)

  • RE: stored procedure creation error: already an object named xxx in the database

    I can almost guarantee that you have a non-sproc object that has the same name as your sproc.  You can check this by running:

    Where  so.name...

  • RE: String Aggregate Function

    Thomas,

    Your method works, but there's no need for a While loop. It works like this:

     
    
    declare @var varchar(8000)

    select @var = isnull(@var + ',', '')...

  • RE: using 'IN' keyword in cursor declaration

    ksrameshbabu,
