Thanks for testing it, Flo.

Inline table valued functions generally perform better when processed against entire sets with CROSS APPLY. The problem is that...

I presume it was the first statement.

What I know of chaos theory leads me to disbelieve the concept of "Temporal Inertia", although conversely it leads me to believe more strongly...

Thanks, Lynn. Apparently I missed that when I first skimmed through fuzzy lookup. I was under the misimpression that it involved how many columns were exact...

Interesting suggestion, and I will certainly look into it. Right now I minimize the number of rows by running separate queries, first joining for example on name (exact...

Okay.... Sci/Fi people...

HAH! Way ahead of you, Derek 😀

It's now DBCC TIMEWARP. It takes 127 parameters, none of which are documented anywhere. Most of the parameters are for detailing your...

You left out pork chops, Grant.

As I understand it, they are usuallly flung... although I suppose they COULD be used as a bludgeoning device.

That's true, Derek, and I should probably give him half-credit for that.

Sergiy, I'm going to reply here to something that you said over in the "Rant"...

Fox, let us in on something. Are you having to do a conversion of some existing code? Was all of this pregenerated for you, so...

Hey Lynn, why are you quoting me? I think the man in the helmet is the one who requires the apology before the energy blades start...

ruh-roh...

Time to make space before the lightsabres start swinging.

Lynn's saintly patience is well-known. I'm betting on a long shot, for once. It seems to be paying off. But until he starts posting...
