    All ya gotta do now is store all of the data in a single monster EAV and you'd have it made. 😛

    At a previous job, we used to have the same SA passwords....until some trojan captured that password and started mercilessly DOS'ing our servers.

  • RE: Inserting row with Procedure

    Never would have thought of THAT one....

    Gail - in 2005, if you knew it was going to recompile - would you FORCE the recompile on a given statement?

    If I know absolutely,...

  • RE: Inserting row with Procedure

    well - I don't know if this qualifies as "simple", but there is a way....Use OPENQUERY.
