  • RE: Fun with qualifiers

    I missed the most important correct answer: you'll get fired. 😀

    Luckily Shane does indicate in the explanation that using this type of table names is not a good idea.

    The correct answer is missing: "The table doesn't have a primary key". It's also suspect that all columns are nullable.

    From the answer options I deduced that I...

  • RE: Create Procedure

    Iulian -207023 (11/23/2015)


    Is there a naming convention that you can recommend ?

    i.e. for user tables tbl_

    for user's views vw_

    for user's functions f_

    for procedures p_

    or something like this ...

    If you...

    What do you think about this old blog ?

    Do you agree with the explanations given by the author to reject the sp_ prefix at the beginning of the name...

    Thanks, all, for the kind words!

    Nice question, not because it's really necessary to know the names, but for the explanation of where the names come from.

    I think that knowing...

    I have never found or seen a method for computing running (pre SQL Server 2012) that has comparable performance to a well-programmed cursor solution, except for...

    Even in pure data manipulation cases, this is not always the case.

    TomThomson (11/6/2015)


    Another excellent question. Will there be a third in the series?

    I do have two other questions lined up, though; they will...

    Hugo, I don't think Luis was talking about not naming the schema. He was talking about a prefix like "sp_" or "usp" or any of the other rather...

    michal.lisinski (11/3/2015)


    Very good question Hugo, but I'm still not sure that "Nolock CAN NOT cause the query to not return committed rows" is the wrong answer.

    Could anybody clarify me this...
