    Lynn Pettis (10/28/2013)


    It has been said there are three piles of knowledge: The things you know you know, The things you know that you don't know, and The things you...

  • RE: Nested Transactions

    Will dropping the table remove the open transaction on the table?

    No - the transaction is still open, and the table is not dropped until the transaction is committed: subsequent...

  • RE: Nested Transactions

    Nice question.

    Has one small problem though: the code leaves a transaction open - nothing is actually committed.

    It's clearly stated in BOL:-

    Although each COMMIT TRANSACTION statement has a transaction_name parameter, there...

  • RE: How to prevent ANY use of xp_CmdShell?

    opc.three (10/23/2013)


    No, it does't. A member of the sysadmin Role can simply enable it.

    You're conflating multiple issues. There is a difference between trusting someone to do all operations within...

  • RE: CDC

    Koen Verbeeck (10/23/2013)


    Easiest question ever. It doesn't even matter which feature is being asked.

    Enterprise has every feature, and developer & evaluation have the same features as Enterprise.

    Ergo, no thinking needed,...

  • RE: Slowly Changing Dimension Transformations

    Remarkably easy for a 2 point question.

  • RE: Forename Standardisation Tables

    Trying to do something for the UK (as opposed to just for England) is going to be quite hard. It is very common in Scotland for first names to...

  • RE: Database Queries and Scalability

    I certainly don't like the article referenced, it seems to me that it is a heap of assertions for whose credence no basis is offered. Yes, scalability needs to...

    Sorry to hear that.

    Let this be an incentive to implement a backup plan.

  • RE: Two fields from two tables of same value not equal

    Mike John (10/18/2013)


    Float is not an exact data type. The internal storage format can mean rounding is being done that may not be visible to you. It would be interesting...

  • RE: Require help in creating table

    The schema definition seems odd. You might find that things become easier if you change the definition of the Employee table to be something like

    Employee (user_id...

  • RE: Removing '.' in SQL server table

    If the requirement is to remove trailing spaces and all trailing non-alpha-numerics Luis code is what's needed; but it seems a bit heavyweight if the requirement is just to eliminate...

  • RE: CURSOR and TABLE

    I won't comment on cursors, as I see no point in thinking about them.

    Table however is clearly not a datatype; associated with any datatype is the somain for that datatype,...
