  • RE: Just For Fun: An Impossible Delete

    Thanks for the feedback JJ. I think that (appropiate) humor is an important part of work and life too. Glad you liked the joke!

  • RE: Upgrade Question

    You said that the vendor will support 2005 if the database is in mode 80, but you didn't say if they would support 2008 in mode 80?

    Also, 2008 is not...

  • RE: Slow with the in function

    Very cool article, my hat is off to you.

    Thanks, Wayne.

    Oh, and you might find the Four Yorkshiremen, if memory serves, is actually (technically) NOT Monty Python: it was...

  • RE: "USE DATABASE" in stored procedure workaround?

    Lynn Pettis (8/5/2008)I think, in this particular case, it has to do with the INFORMATION_SCHEMA views. I played with them in SQL Server 2000, and for those to work...

  • RE: "USE DATABASE" in stored procedure workaround?

    You would do this:

    Execute sp_MS_marksystemobject sp_mytest;

    And that should setup the procedure so it runs in the context of the database where it is executed.

    Awesome article.

    And awesome technique.

  • RE: "USE DATABASE" in stored procedure workaround?

    Andras Belokosztolszki (8/5/2008)


    One solution is to add the stored procedures to the master database, and add sp_ prefix to their names

    (bad practise)

    Well, this works in the sense that SP_FOO...

    , Drive_FreeSpace

    , Identity(int) as ID

    Likewise, the F's are stored as "01000110" in upper-case and "01000110" in lower

  • RE: Update problem after adding a column

    I think that the first statement should always take the TRUE branch, so maybe you just didn't have any NULLS before you added your new columns?
