  • RE: FKs with indexes...

    I'd have to run some tests to say definitively whether indexes would help or not, but I can say I've seen similar systems and indexes weren't needed there.

    Sometimes it takes seeing it all put together in order to understand the pieces.

    Glad we could help.

    A good book runs about $8 on average these days, and also lasts about 2 hours, so I could use that in the same way.

    2 hours?...

  • RE: How to find first and last date of week and month for any given date

    Your modification to end-of-month looks like it won't work correctly in all cases. Try a March date in there, see what you get.

  • RE: SQL2012 Management Studio on XP

    You could try something other than SSMS.

    ApexSQL Edit (http://www.apexsql.com/sql_tools_edit.aspx) might be an option. I don't know if it can run on XP and edit SQL 2012, but their salespeople...

    Like this:

    SELECT GETDATE(),

    DATEADD(week, DATEDIFF(week, '19050101', GETDATE()), '19050101') AS StartOfWeek,

    DATEADD(month, DATEDIFF(month, '19050101', GETDATE()), '19050101') AS StartOfMonth,

    DATEADD(day, -1, DATEADD(month, DATEDIFF(month, '19050101', GETDATE())+1, '19050101')) AS EndOfMonth

  • RE: SQL2012 Management Studio on XP

    I don't think that works.

    But you should be able to connect earlier versions of SSMS to SQL 2012, if I'm not mistaken. At least enough to write and execute...
