  • RE: DateFormat

    Duncan Pryde (7/3/2012)


    There might be someone who does, but this thread from someone trying to find out makes entertaining reading (he never got his answer): http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-AU/sqldatabaseengine/thread/04d9917d-fc05-4e3e-ba70-0e8a3eac3fe8

    Thanks for the link. I...

  • RE: DateFormat

    Thanks for the question. I thought it was bad enough being in America where most everyone uses mmddyyyy. But, yyyyddmm makes even less sense to me. Anyone know why thats...

  • RE: Views and changes

    Bob Razumich (7/2/2012)


    For a moment, I thought the correct answer was a trick answer. "sp_refreshview"? It just seemed too cute for a Monday, but I looked it up first, anyway....

  • RE: Transaction

    I had the advantage of being so old, that Ron's series was a distant, fuzzy memory. So, I got it right.

    However, when running the script as provided, I got this...

  • RE: Restart Log Backups

    Thanks for the question Steve. I was surprised to see the number of incorrect answers. I hardly ever administer DBs, mostly design and programming. Maybe the lack of certainty about...

  • RE: Index defaults 2

    I too went for the #2 choice. I knew that the no index would be created automatically, but thought ..... same as the others. At least I have lots of...

  • RE: NULLIF 1

    Thanks for the question. Never used NULLIF, so forced me to investigate.

    I got my point, but am inclined to agree with those that feel that the question could have been...

  • RE: Temp Tables

    Christian Buettner-167247 (6/25/2012)


    Poorly worded question. There is no way for the reader to identify if the author meant implicit or explicit index creation. And the fact that both Primary Keys...

  • RE: Restricting updates?

    Arriving later on the scene than others, primarily due to time zone (and the fact that I don't get up at 3 AM to do the QotD), all I can...

  • RE: Create Database

    tommyh (6/21/2012)

    Works just fine to attach a database with just "for attach" with only one log file.

    /T

    I figured it would. But it's nice to have it confirmed. (Yes, I...

    ipounder (6/21/2012)


    Seems to me that both answers can be correct.

    Ian

    I agree 🙂

    Anybody care to test it? 🙂

    Thanks for the question.

    BTW, love the cat with the mice crawling...

  • RE: Database size in SQL Server 2012

    Thanks for the question. I thought it was too easy to be true at first.

    As for the "depends on the file system" consideration, "maximum database size in SQL Server 2012"...

  • RE: INTERSECT 2

    Sean Lange (6/19/2012)


    Thomas Abraham (6/19/2012)


    Of course you are correct. My mind must still be on that beach. Thanks for correcting me.

    I wish my mind was still on the beach...so jealous....

  • RE: INTERSECT 2

    Thomas Abraham (6/19/2012)


    Appreciate the question. Had to think for a minute, as I almost never use OUTER joins.

    I suspect you actually use outer joins far more frequently...

    no riots?

    The five days we were in Athens, right up to the 15th, there was nada. We did see a gathering of about 500 people for a speech. The...
