  • RE: Searching Columns for Seperate Strings

    where IsNull(Col1, Col2) = IsNull(Col2, Col1)

    and IsNull(Col2, Col3) = IsNull(Col3, Col2)

  • RE: Large page support, Lock pages in memory

    I recommend starting with this article: http://www.simple-talk.com/sql/database-administration/great-sql-server-debates-lock-pages-in-memory/
