    It's meant to be an inner join. Sorry about that.

    Say an airplane's navigation system. That must not give an incorrect result.

    It depends on "incorrect". If, for example, precision exceedes accuracy, that's wasted effort.

    Naturally. I probably should...

  • RE: Help needed in builiding this query

    What I very specifically asked for is create scripts and insert statements.

    For example:

    create table T1 (

    ID int identity primary key,

    Col1 varchar(25),

    constraint CK_Col1 check (col1 != '' or col1 is null))

  • RE: Query problem

    Change the formula to:

    dateadd(day, -1 * datepart(day, ltrf.month_year), ltrf.month_year) + 1

    That should do it.

    I disagree with all of the answers. The most correct answer is "Change the column to data type varchar(max) and use Update".
