  • RE: Truncate rollback

    Ravi-339369 (4/22/2010)


    Query...does the Insert work on SQL 2008 if the db was created in an earlier version?

    I can't exactly answer your question because I don't have a copy of SQL...

    I chose 0, because it did not error on select, it errored on insert. and the select returns rightly, 0 rows.

    That's not quite true. If you considered the...

  • RE: Truncate rollback

    To be fair, even if you saw the "Possible Error" in the INSERT (if you didn't know this was a SQL 2008 feature, like me) or if you ran it...

    Hah, should have known Hugo would come explain everything properly - ignore my posts, concentrate on his 🙂

    BrainDonor (4/13/2010)


    It could have possibly have been phrased slightly better ("The fixed value NULL", or something like that), but it is correct. NULL does not equal NULL. Try comparing two...

  • RE: NULL

    Sorry, but within the context of Microsoft terminology, this is simply wrong.

    Within the context of SQL Server documentation, "UNKNOWN" (all uppercase) is used exclusively as a Boolean result in SQL...

  • RE: Encryption

    While the intent of the question is clear, there is currently some question as to the accuracy of the selected answer:

  • RE: SARGable

    Hmm, I was more bothered by the fact that NOT IN() is assumed to NOT be SARGable... In SQL 2000 this was always true when there was more than one...

  • RE: What's in your CLR?

    Registry Access. Haven't figured out an efficient and sensible way to do it in SQL Server 2005 without using the CLR.

  • RE: UPDATE() and triggers

    vkirkpat (12/2/2009)


    But, the update DOES change the value, right? Even though it may be the same value, it does get updated. It's not like SQL Server says to itself, hey,...

  • RE: UPDATE() and triggers

    A trickier variation could be the same question, without the "Insert" statement.

    Even though there are no rows being updated in that variant, the trigger still finds that the column was...

    To each his own, I guess!

    To me, your "fix" makes it even harder to read (keeping a joined table on the same line as the first table? eek!) - but...

    Yes, but I'm not forgiving of superfluous apostrophes in the word "its". The sentence gets a Fail. "It's" means "it is" and nothing else.
