  • RE: How to change SQL Server Collation

    Why should software (like TFS) depend on the collation of the server instance? A collation has no meaning unless used within the context of a database and starting with SS2K...

  • RE: UNION statement kills processor (but only as StoredProc)

    If UNION ALL is applicable use that instead of UNION.

    It goes a lot faster.

  • RE: Uploading Tiff files using SQL 2005 and not using any application

    Here is some VB script which you can easily adapt to ASP. Although the ADO field and file name are passed, they both expect an already existing File System Object.

    If...

  • RE: Convert from Byte to Megabyte

    Jeff Moden (11/28/2007)


    Heh... speaking of "details"... once done and you go to format it, you wanna use commas or periods for the thousand separators? 😀

    FYI, in France they use a...

  • RE: problem with float data type

    It's not a question of T-SQL or VB. It's a question of double precision numbers(1/11/53) not being able to deal with the level of detail you need. I have no...

  • RE: problem with float data type

    Max,

    Your code dumps are much, much better.

    It seems that you relish living in this twilight zone that sits in the world between 15 and 16 significant digits of double precision...

    max (11/26/2007)


    Guys, this is driving me crazy!

    Your code dump is driving me crazy too.

    It's incomplete.

    I don't understand it at all.

    Please try to be a little clearer.

    Look at my...

  • RE: problem with float data type

    Max,

    First of all, I would be curious to know if you can finally get our answer in VB or Excel or SQL Server.

    Regarding my philosophical statement on the interpretation of...

  • RE: problem with float data type

    Max,

    No offense. It was my idea of a bad joke.

    Nevertheless, having a mantissa with all those 1 bits is still a bit unusual.

    In the meantime, I also discovered a small...

  • RE: problem with float data type

    Yes... I agree... in DECIMAL math, you would be absolutely correct. But FLOAT does not use Decimal math... it uses BINARY math... and there are many Decimal numbers that cannot...

  • RE: problem with float data type

    Max,

    I confirm your results in VB. But I also tried to 'visualize' the math operation you are trying to perform. When you ditch the scientific notation and line 'em up,...

    using replicate function and u can solve it

    What it this replicate function? Is this something specific to SQL Server 2005?

  • RE: Pivot a list of dates into date intervals

    My curiosity level is very high at this point.

    What I meant is that your function is just fine. I'm adapting it to handle weekends at the moment.

  • RE: Pivot a list of dates into date intervals

    I'm still curious. So here is how I got to the 1/2 output I descriped earlier - see below. And it handles those awful weekends.

    What I have found though is...

  • RE: Pivot a list of dates into date intervals

    Indeed, for a 1000 rows that cross join generates half a million rows and total execution time is 35 seconds dropping by only 5 seconds with a unique clustered index.

    On...
