    Again, thanks for all the nice and encouraging comments. I have now decided to continue with the series. Sorry for those who did not like it and would rather not...

  • RE: Table space usage 2

    I was so caught up in responding to (and feeling bad about) the mistakes, that I forgot to thanks everyone for the kind words. All respondents to far have indicated...

    Quick point - surely that should be with ShortDescription equal to 'None', LongDescription and ChgDate set to NULL ?

    Yes, that is right. *curses self for not proofreading better*

    Ah well....

    ...but the question has a minor issue. When I created the QOD database with the DemoTable table and tried to rebuild the index, I got the following error message:

  • RE: Table space usage 2

    Quick message to those who arrive here: I am aware that this question involves a lot of calculations - much more hard work than normal questions. So my compliments on...

  • RE: Table variable - 2

    L' Eomot Inversé (11/15/2011)


    From the discussion I learnt that named constraints are allowed on temp tables; that is really awful - table variables have this one right.

    Yes, that is awful...

  • RE: Table variable - 2

    Good questione, but the explanation is a bit too short. I assume Ron intended to write "You cannot create a named constraint on a table variable". On temporary and permanent...

    However, the fact that Hugo admits to having to Google this one might suggest that this question is a little on the esoteric side, and that you could be...

    But I wonder how long it will be before someone claims it's a trick question? :hehe:

    Trick question! 😛

    Just kidding, of course. Thanks for the question. I think...

    I'm afraid I don't understand how you came to that assessment.

    My comment was ironic / tongue-in-cheek.

    Ah, okay. Thanks!

    I'll see to getting that irony detector fixed. 😉

    SQL Kiwi (11/10/2011)


    Terrible question, and horrible answer. Thanks, I guess 😛

    I'm afraid I don't understand how you came to that assessment. The question was fair, the answer could be...

  • RE: SQL_VARIANT 1

    Nice question, Ron!

    I only got it right because I figured that the relative order of the date and time related values would be "logical". And since the conversion to smalldatetime...

    Good question.

    The correct answer rate is still only 9%, which I find surprising.

    Thanks!

    I must say that the low rate of correct answers surprises me. I intended this...
