    Another QoD turned sour

    And it will be covered with educational purposes :Whistling:

    Hey, but at least we learned something, right?

    Oh, wait...

  • RE: Variables, Nulls and Coalesce

    Nice question.

    Along the same lines of "no rows returned, do nothing", I have a feeling that it may be a case of "400 rows returned, assign 400 values to the...

    😀

    OK, that's my fault again. You did mention that one and I didn't add it to the test data...

  • RE: String Parsing Hell

    This...

  • RE: String Parsing Hell

    Hi Mark,

    So it works in 2000 I've had to do away with CTEs so this looks a little convoluted. This looks to work on your test set?

    I wish you had set this question a long time ago, this could have saved some people some work... How did this slip under my...

  • RE: What Book's to Refer the Pl/SQl in SQlserver 2005

    Hi,

    What you are referring to there (PL/SQL) is Oracle and not SQL Server, which is probably why you're having issues finding anything relating to that. Try looking for T-SQL,...

    bwieland (10/22/2009)


    Jacob and others,

    I may be a neophyte, but I am curious as to what you and others believe the Azure environment will provide over an existing IIS and web...

  • RE: Script component question

    Couldn't you just use a flat file source in the data flow task, and use a script task in the control flow before the data flow task to set the...

    One word. Nulls.

    Ah, beat me to it...

    some test data to corroborate:

    --create test tables

    create table #iseries_file (edinumber char(20),variousotherstuff varchar(200))

    create table #contract (con_edipolnum char(20),con_status int)

    --populate test data

    insert into #iseries_file

    select '123456','vt 54...

  • RE: Varchar or Char?

  • RE: AND & OR

    cengland0 (10/14/2009)


    I would agree except the question did not say, Why doesn't this produce the expected result of 56? It was not a troubleshooting question but a question about...

  • RE: AND & OR
