  • RE: add 200 million new products

    SQL 2012 doesn't have any limits on that, but your hardware certainly will. CPUs, RAM, I/O busses, etc., can only push so many bytes per second.

    Most likely, I/O will...

  • RE: Create unique id based on data in table

    Why not just have those three columns be unique? A unique constraint can contain multiple columns.

  • RE: MERGE Statement with two WHEN MATCHED Statements

    I don't get this part:

    COALESCE('target.[Programability_TYP] <> source.[Programability_TYP] collate SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS', '')

    Why use a coalesce check on a string literal? There's no possible way for 'target.[Programability_TYP] <> source.[Programability_TYP] collate SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS' to...

  • RE: SqlDateTime overflow

    Definitely could be an issue with in-flight data conversions of one sort or another.

    You'll probably need to get a more experienced .NET dev to review your code.

  • RE: SqlDateTime overflow

    That's always from either an out-of-range date or a malformed date.

    Usually see it where American-style dates (MM-DD-YYYY) are being inserted into something expecting Euro-style dates (DD-MM-YYYY), or vice-versa....

    I've seen Count() kill a server where Exists() was fine.

    I guess I'm not clear on what end result you are trying to achieve here. Can you clarify that?

    Assuming "correct results" means dates between the two variable values, including the end-date value, then yes.

    As mentioned, using <= @EndDate can give odd results.

  • RE: Automate DTS Column Mapping during import

    Not really. You might be able to work around it using script objects, but you're probably better off building a .NET service that reads the file directly.
