You can do this with the pivot/unpivot commands. I recommend against it. Use Excel or Report Services.
Set up Excel with a database connection and a view of the...

I'd use xp_CmdShell, then make sure to call it with a specialized login that has severely limited rights.

In SQL 2000, what you're looking for are the system tables. Pop those open, including in master (in system databases), find the columns you're looking for, query them.
For example,...

Actually, it doesn't matter what version of SQL Server you are using. xp_CmdShell issues command shell scripts to Windows. Like the old DOS commands (if you're old enough...

Actually, I'm not sure there is any sane way to cross join two tables without using cross join.
I can imagine that you could create a temp table, with all the...

You can use CASE in calculated columns (which is what this is). The problem isn't the first "AS", it's the second one. You can't alias a computed column...

Heap tables or poorly designed clustered indexes is the first thing that comes to my mind.
If, for example, the clustered index is on an alpha column, and inserts regularly have...

The first question is, are these databases OLTP or OLAP?
For transactional databases (OLTP), with lots of updates, inserts and deletes, having the data files on RAID-1/10/01 is almost...

Sure. Build a table of time zones and their offset, and query against that. Pretty simple, actually. And can be used in joins for set-based calculations.

If the other databases were in much heavier use than the one, yeah, they might very well end up taking over most of the cache.
More often, though, there are other...

Why not rewrite this:

SELECT ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY Col1) AS RowNum, * FROM (
SELECT TOP 100 PERCENT * FROM TableA ORDER BY Col1
) X
) Y
WHERE RowNum BETWEEN...

Try this:
SELECT [Incident date]
FROM dbo.base_clinical
where isdate([Incident date]) = 0
That will give you the rows where it can't convert that column to a date. From there, you can probably figure...

You might take a look at isolation levels in Books Online. Might find a solution in there. I don't know one off the top of my head.
