  • RE: Global Variable

    Eugene Elutin (7/31/2013)


    Do you mean Sybase? I have worked with SQL server since their rebranded version of Sybase. Some people might called them as they used to in Sybase, but...

  • RE: CREATE Login doesnt recognise a service account

    HowardW (2013-07-31)


    I seem to remember there are some properties of objects that are literally inaccessible through system tables/DMVs and are only accessible through SMO, struggling to find an example at...

  • RE: CREATE Login doesnt recognise a service account

    HowardW (7/31/2013)


    my point was just that it's not all just T-SQL behind the scenes.

    And my point is that that's exactly what it is - even if there is SMO in...

  • RE: CREATE Login doesnt recognise a service account

    HowardW (7/31/2013)


    Well, mostly. Not that it's secret, but it does also use DMO/SMO for lots of the scripting capability

    It is correct that SSMS uses SMO, but guess how SMO speaks...

  • RE: Global Variable

    Phil Parkin (7/31/2013)


    If this stuff is worth storing in a table and is going to be referenced by multiple scripts or procs, it should be held in a permanent table,...

  • RE: Global Variable

    Phil Parkin (7/31/2013)


    Presumably you mean a global temp table.

    No. Broccoli appears to be talking about a single script, divided into multiple batches. Thus a local temp table would do fine.

    Although...

  • RE: Incorrect length being returned for FLOAT datatype field

    A float value consists of a 53-bit manitssa and an exponent. This format permits a wide range of value - from 1E310 to 1E-310 at the price of exactness. Decimal...

  • RE: How to add an analysis server into SQL server 2008 R2?

    I forgot to mention: the AdventureWorks2008DW is a regular relational database, so you attach it to the Database Engine like any other database.

    As for how to get started with SSAS,...

  • RE: Incorrect length being returned for FLOAT datatype field

    The behaviour you see is perfectly normal. For instance, running SQLCMD, I see:

    1> SELECT convert(float, 3.56)

    2> go

    ------------------------

    3.5600000000000001

    (1 rows affected)

    In SSMS, the value is displayed...

  • RE: How to add an analysis server into SQL server 2008 R2?

    Which edition of SQL Server 2008 R2 did you install? There is no Analysis Services in Express Edition. If you have Developer, Standard, Enterprise or Evaluation Edition, you can run...

  • RE: Global Variable

    You could use a single row temp table for your "global variables".

  • RE: LINKED SERVER

    Linked servers uses OLE DB and not ODBC. While you can use the MSDASQL provider to do OLE DB over ODBC, I think it is better to use an OLE...

  • RE: Universal CSV-Importer

    Jeff Moden (7/30/2013)


    Use Bulk Insert to read just the first line of a file into a single column temp table. Split that column on the delimiter to extract the...

  • RE: CREATE Login doesnt recognise a service account

    In SSMS, use the Script button to see what command that SSMS generates. Keep in mind that SSMS has no secret interface to SQL Server, but it uses T-SQL just...

  • RE: trigger to avoid disable or delete a job

    You could probably add triggers on the appropriate tables in tempdb, but I think it is better to deprive him of his membership in that role, and have him to...
