    Are you talking about:

    select *

    from dbo.Table

    where KEY = '8:72057605279514624(6d020e2b1505)'

    Or do you mean something else?

  • RE: Display Results based on Percentage Match

    I'm not sure what you're asking for. I gave several examples of possible matches, and one select statement using Like.

  • RE: ANSI_NULLS

    Good question. Actually made me turn my brain on and think, and no "how many months have 28 days in them" type tricks.

  • RE: Is there anyway to find out if the hacker had done something to the database?URGENT

    Just hope that data doesn't end up in the hands of a competitor.

    I don't know if that kind of thing matters much. Check out what the query does (as...

  • RE: Is there anyway to find out if the hacker had done something to the database?URGENT

    From what I've read, most SQL injection attacks these days are attempts to get sensitive information. If, for example, you have credit card data in your database, and it's...
