    Well Jeff would have to employ GBAG (Glass By Agonizing Glass) or get an Overflow Exception 😀

    Heh... I've reached the "Overflow Exception" a couple...

  • RE: Index Behaviour

    h.tobisch (11/21/2014)


    Just understood:

    a nonclustered index may be the same size but never larger than a clustered index, so, if it covers the data the nonclustered index will be first choice.

    I...

    Great question but the explanation and the linked article were terribly disappointing. The article says to use the table designer for creating indexes after it...

    I'd argue ROWCOUNT_BIG is an odd one as well, as it is not calculated over the current result set, but over the results of a previous query.

  • RE: Table valued parameter

    A nice fun question, required a bit of careful thought to get it right but not really difficult if one remembers that the scope of a UDT is the database.

  • RE: Bucket List Data

    budbeth (11/17/2014)


    United States visited: 47

    Foreign Countries visited: 3

    Almost the opposite for me; acouple more states a few less countries. Perhaps that is a perspective on the whole "Americans...

  • RE: Trace Flags

    SQLRNNR (11/18/2014)


    Sadly the question posed can lead to confusion and a low correct answer rate due to the availability of four correct answers.

    The correct answers listed are only for trace...

  • RE: Memory

    What a poor question and answer! The question should specify which edition it is asking about when it is a question which has different answers for different editions.

    The recommended...

  • RE: Permissions

    Sergei Yakovlev (11/10/2014)


    What about ADMINISTER BULK OPERATIONS?

    I'd like to know the answer to that too. As far as I can see, CREATE and ADMINISTER work with similar syntax. ...

  • RE: Logical Query Processing order

    Nice question (now that the duplicate answer problem has been fixed).

    But I really hate the explanation. It refers to textual order as logical order, contradicting itself since it has already...

  • RE: TSQL "where - 101"

    Basically a good and interesting question, but Steffen Mantz-204830's point is a valid criticism. I don't think that the omission of ID from the select list would lead anyone...

  • RE: Database Master Keys

    Nice clear question.

    The proportion of wrong anwers suggests that security still isn't an important part of the job for most DBAs, which is a pity.

  • RE: Clustered index choice

    I agree with what Grant says, but there's an additional point that may apply here. Suppose you don't make the primary ke the identity column, but make it a...

  • RE: Does the database exist?

    Andy sql (11/6/2014)


    and you would be assuming that "ls" is correctly configured as an alias to "Get-ChildItem". Maybe only 99.994% correct.

    Touché! But of course the assumption is that the...
