  • RE: Lookup Table Madness

    Yes and no.  I am not a physicist and can't speak on the realative merits of Newton's and Lobachevsky's theories, so I won't attempt to.  But you are correct when...

  • RE: Lookup Table Madness

    I agree that the mind should not be locked, but I also maintain that it shouldn't be unguarded either.  A totally open mind is like a trash can, you never...

  • RE: Data Dictionary from within SQL Server 2000

    Just a quick correction... The article stated "These values are stored as extended properties. The user can add as many extended properties as they like. They are stored in a...

  • RE: Lookup Table Madness

    I'm sorry but you are confused.  Codd's 12 rules are not about normalization, rather they define the characteristics of a Relational Database Management System.  There are between 5 and 8...

  • RE: text column faster than varchar in query

    My best guess is that by moving the text into a varchar you increased the number of data pages in your table considerably.  This may have caused pretty extensive fragmentation,...

  • RE: SQL Server Lock

    Basically whenever you see and ObjID of 0 it indicates an object for which there is no concept in sysobjects.  Thus, databases, indexes, pages, extents, etc... will always have an...

    I should have also included the on-line Oracle documentation...  I realize that Oracle Press is not exactly the same thing as official Oracle documentation, however there is an implied authority...

  • RE: Optimizing Cursor Performance

    Certainly the Sybex OCP Study Guides for 8i had no reference to the performance implications of cursors.  I know, because I searched through them...  I also grabbed every Oracle reference book...

  • RE: Optimizing Cursor Performance

    Unlike Oracle?!?!?!  The idea that Oracle runs perfectly fine with cursors is a complete fiction!  What is true is that Oracle (the company) doesn't make as big a deal of...

  • RE: Enforcing Referential integrity in Microsoft SQL Server 2000

    Nick,

    As much as I agree with your general point that integrity should be enforced at the data layer, not the application etc...  I think you shot yourself in the foot...

  • RE: Deleting Duplicate Records

    The best way of dealing with duplicates is to avoid them in the first place!  Design your databases right and you don't have to worry about it.  There is no...
