    The Death Star is now on the US White Houses agenda: http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/compost/wp/2012/12/13/white-house-must-respond-to-death-star-petition/

    Yep. Saw that one. One comment I thought was hillarious, on a news...

    I guess it depends a lot on which definition of "the cloud" you're dealing with.

    Is a virtual server on the Amazon EC2 infrastructure "the cloud"? How about a hosted...

    However the reason I suggested using a temp table is because you want to capture all the rows not just one. If you don't need...

  • RE: Accessing data returned from a table valued function

    I just tested this, and it worked:

    USE ProofOfConcept;

    GO

    CREATE FUNCTION dbo.MyFunction (@Input INT)

    RETURNS TABLE

    AS

    RETURN (SELECT @Input AS C1, @Input+1 AS C2);

    GO

    DECLARE @Var1 INT, @Var2 INT;

  • RE: restore db from multiple diff vs last diff

    Unless you need to restore to an earlier state (point-in-time restore), the last diff is the only one you need.
