  • RE: Memory allocation for SSIS variable

    Seems to be a similar issue. Since you're going for an...

  • RE: How to convert varchar(20090303084115) to datetime

    Actually, SQL Server stores dates in a numeric format, so that part of the question doesn't matter.

    Here's how you can do the conversion in T-SQL, after pulling the data into...

  • RE: What is the difference?

    As written, they'll do the same thing. Check the execution plans, you'll see what they're doing.

    Of course, another thing to keep in mind, that I didn't remember to mention in my first reply, is that some applications may be sensitive to the patch-level of either...

    No, it is preceded by a multicast transformation. One leg of the data flow goes into an OLE DB destination and receives 1,210 rows. The...

  • RE: collation issue raised by a system UNION query

    I'd go straight to Microsoft on this one, if Bing/Google/whatever doesn't pull something useful up straight off the error message.

    Right. A new step would start it over again. If it's made any data changes by the time it fails, whether those will exist or not depends on...

    That won't be a memory allocation problem, unless the server you're running it on is already all the way at the limits of the swap file. You'd know that,...

  • RE: generate xml file with out carriage return\line feed from sql query

    Just to clarify what you mean:

    SELECT *

    FROM (VALUES (1),(2),(3)) AS TVC(Col)

    FOR XML RAW, TYPE;

    That query will produce data that does not have carriage-returns in it, but when you open it...

    It depends on why you have a different machine per vendor. If it's for security isolation, separate instances (one license) should be adequate. If it's for DR/BC, it's...
