    You make a lot of good points which is not surprising. I do not agree with many of them but as you correctly stated that's a reserved right of...

    But wouldn't this always compare all variables, though? In the syntax with OR, the query engine can see that a variable is empty, thereby satisfying one side...

  • RE: Extracting data from a column with xml data

    You're welcome.

    On the two rows (as you figured out), I only copied one into my test harness. You'll have two (or more) when you use real data.

    However, you should...

    Computed column won't work if there are applications that directly access the table. They'll pull the existing column in Selects, and modify it in it Update and Inserts, so...

    Something like this:

  • RE: Computed column for a date

    If you can't count on catching all the entries into the table (possible inline code), then a trigger is probably your best option in SQL 2005.

    However, you can probably speed...

  • RE: LIKE with and without wildcards in WHERE clause

    The T-SQL query optimizer doesn't really shortcut the way you're thinking.

    I took a relatively large table on one of my test servers, added an index to an nvarchar(75) column, and...

    I've seen Read Committed run faster than Read Uncommitted in a couple of circumstances.

    One is if the table is heavy on data-modification, and Read Committed Snapshot Isolation has...

    Hold out for the SQL job, instead of the docs job. At the same time, I recommend looking around for other entry-level SQL jobs.

    Can't be installed directly on Linux. Only on Windows.

    Why? It's a Microsoft product, and they hate Linux with a passion. Ballmer called Linux a cancer: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2001/06/02/ballmer_linux_is_a_cancer/
