  • RE: Error: Unable to switch encoding

    Can you provide a sample of the XML? Anonymized, of course. That would make it easier to see what's going on.

  • RE: SQL Query Progress Bar

    Nope. No progress bar available. Not really possible, either.

    You can get an estimated "cost" of a query, which can roughly translate to duration. But the "costs" are...

    The correct answer is to store in UTC. Databases store data, and it's the job of whomever is getting the data to present in the correct format.

  • RE: How Many type of Function in SQL Server ?

    lokeshvij (7/19/2012)


    Further to add on; scalar functions are always deterministic.

    - Lokesh

    Are you using Select From OpenQuery? If so, you can do the date conversion in your Select clause.

    Have you made sure SQL Server, SQL Agent, et al, are all running/starting under some other credential and won't lose access?

  • RE: How Many type of Function in SQL Server ?

    Two types. Deterministic and non-deterministic.

    In other words, what do you mean by "types" of functions?

    Another thing you may want to consider is adding in some sort of check to see if the columns actually have different values. I use CHECKSUM for this....
