  • RE: Is this a good idea...using Merge for generic save

    Yes, as you've written it, it's a pretty standard and usual sort of proc. That's the way it's meant to be used.

  • RE: Is this a good idea...using Merge for generic save

    I'm not sure what you're asking here. Merge, as you've used it, is good for "upsert" operations (update/insert). That's largely what it was created for. As such,...

    Where convert(varchar, a.submitted, 120) = convert(varchar, '2011-07-07 14:39:39', 120)

    Style 120 actually doesn't strip out the time portion of the datetime, so what they're doing makes no sense....
