  • RE: SQL Server 2014 Configuration

    Of course this may be all screwed up by the existence of indexes that the optimiser may decide are better to use than the tables themselves, which...

  • RE: COUNT, COALESCE, ISNULL, DISTINCT

    I worked it out in my head, got it right, then ran the query on my system and got a different result: error in query. On my system NAME and...
