  • RE: SQL server service not starting

    I'm going to assume that you didn't attach any system databases to this server in the last few days, but if you did, that's often a cause of this sort...

  • RE: Bankers Rounding

    You provided two different sets of source numbers, one truncated, the other untruncated.

    Untruncated numbers of .0050 through .0059 were all represented by the truncated number .0050 in your data....

  • RE: Bankers Rounding

    Since this thread is so long, I think it's about time for a recap for those joining us late. Sergiy will be identified as "Giordy" for this purpose, while everyone...

  • RE: Bankers Rounding

    I ran your numbers, just like I ran your numbers before (hell, it was entirely your test last time), and have continually showed that BR does a better job in...

  • RE: Sql2000 and Sql2005 Media

    In addition to what SHNK said, it can depend on how your product is licensed. Here (warning: .doc file) is the official word, and if you want more info,...

  • RE: Archiving Data

    Archiving means many things to many people, and could mean everything from backups stored in an offsite location, to partitioned views, or even something as simple as a history table...

  • RE: Left join NULLs

    Traditionally Rounded Truncated Number:...

  • RE: Bankers Rounding

    Once again, I ran your numbers. I just showed the actual results, not the difference between rounding two different numbers. Why in the world would you consider a rounding function...

  • RE: Bankers Rounding

    You truncated the results (yes, I caught your little extra parameter) and then compared rounded versions of a truncated number (@B) with a rounded versions of a non-truncated number (@A), calling those...

  • RE: Bankers Rounding

    Which part of the statement: "The only criteria is that it include a large, randomly distributed data sample set, and that it demonstrates that traditional bias has less (or even...

  • RE: Bankers Rounding

    Still no code. Having problems?

  • RE: Bankers Rounding

    Of course I do, as does everyone else in this thread, save for you. A result can absolutely be precise even if there is precision specified. You might be be...

  • RE: Bankers Rounding

    When in the world did I ever say there are no "precise" numbers? There are "precise" numbers, using many of the different definitions of "precise", including mathematical definitions. You are...
