    Christian Buettner-167247 (1/11/2013)

    Oh my, why is this question still wrong in January?!? 🙁

    That's a good question. These days it seems usual that something this bad is corrected quite quickly....

    How annoying. You made me think! 😉

    I agree this was an excellent question and explanation. I do see that one minor correction could be needed...

    Tom, AdventureWorks is available in different flavors. Apparently, you downloaded and installed the case sensitive version, but there is a case insensitive version as well.

    I think the question...

  • RE: RANK - 1

    This would have been a good question and easy to get right if the schemaname had been spelt "Sales" instead of "SALES". However, I happened to remember that the...

    Toreador (1/4/2013)

    I don't really like this question.

    "They are not the same, but they both enforce uniqueness of the column on which they are defined"

  • RE: T-SQL

    SQLRNNR (1/3/2013)

    I have to disagree with the correct answer(s). The question asks for 4 correct answers yet 5 are presented. This causes a bit of a guessing game.

    Anyone with better data than I have on temp tables vs table variables, wanna take a look at this one: http://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic1399050-377-1.aspx?
