  • RE: Computer Math

    I only ever use the += with single values on the right-hand side, so I haven't encountered this. Seems like if you have an expression on the right, you should...

  • RE: EXEC and EXECUTE

    Ed Wagner (7/8/2016)


    Yes, it was an easy one. I admit I was looking for the trick.

    Me, too. I read it half a dozen times to make sure I...

  • RE: Installation Passwords

    It's strange to see more wrong answers than correct answers (at the time of this writing "3" is 45% of the responses; "4" is 51% of the responses). Coffee...

    Toreador (6/3/2016)


    I knew what was intended but the correct answer surely should be "No, Never".

    The semi-colon is not required to begin the CTE; it is required to terminate the...

  • RE: Implicit Conversion

    This one wasn't simple for me. It takes a keen eye and some focused thought to get it right. I failed.

    Thanks for the good question.

    Apparently, I've had just...

    I agree with bknight that this seems...

    Thank you Steve for an exciting finish to a dull week. All these responses... I can only imaging what would happen if the question was worth 7...

  • RE: ORDER BY and NULL

    In my opinion, the sort results should be unpredictable because NULL is an unknown/unspecified value, which implies it cannot be sorted.

    I'm not arguing that the answer is incorrect. Practically,...

  • RE: CHECKING specific values

    I initially selected the "four" option. Then the coffee kicked in. Whew!

  • RE: Master Data Services won't migrate "delete entity"

    Sorry for the premature post, everyone.

    I just found this on Microsoft's site.

    "If you use the MDSModelDeploy tool to update an existing model and its data, and the package...
