  • RE: Running Stored Procedure from Access

    That works, but it has all of the problems of dynamic SQL.

    Another minor point is, it should use scope_identity, instead of @@identity. @@Identity has problems with things like triggers.

  • RE: Temp Table Caching and Indexing in SQL Server 2005

    Okay. I tested it in procs, and got basically the same results you did. The named index, separately created, took 2453, the unique constraint took 453, and the...

    Personally I think it is simply a self-serving fraud for software developers to call themselves engineers.

    Good question, does a good job of testing knowledge about BETWEEN,
