  • RE: Locking Hints

    Good question.

    I'm glad that missing out WITH is deprecated though, so that teh answer to this question will change in the future. In fact I think it's a great...

    In SQL Server 2005, wouldn't this FAIL?

    --#2 Data

  • RE: Update with CASE statement

    The phrasing is a bit bizarre.

    I guessed that the environment had to be case insensitive (otherwise statement 3 fails and aborts the batch, so statement 4 never happens)....
