  • RE: DECLARE - 1

    rmechaber (10/3/2012)


    Please double-check the link before you contradict someone or call them "careless" or tell them what they "should be" doing: that page was from SQL Server 2005, which happens...

  • RE: FTS

    Nice and easy question.

    I wonder when (if ever) it'll become possible to define our own stemmers for use in FTS.

  • RE: UNIQUEIDENTIFIER vs BIGINT

    ScottPletcher (10/3/2012)


    Typically customer codes are sequential. Since they're not here, that would definitely make the clustering key choice much more difficult.

    Typically customer codes occur in order records more often...

  • RE: Dynamic Filter and Order By

    Sean Lange (10/3/2012)


    ... Isn't LIKE as good as >= for index seeks?!?

    NO LIKE is not SARGable so you will get scans. It has to examine every row to determine if...

    ...NO! We hate UDFs; they are not declarative, do not optimize ...

    Nonsense. The OP has explained that (s)he is a novice, Joe, and is willing to learn or...

  • RE: TSQL Case Statement help

    CELKO (10/2/2012)


    NO! We hate UDFs; they are not declarative, do not optimize and stink of 1950's FORTRAN. SQL is declarative and uses tables! This is a huge change in...

  • RE: Use Windows Logins rather than Windows Group to control access to SQL Server

    K. Brian Kelley (10/3/2012)


    Also, I would add that it's relately simple to audit for Windows group changes. This is even easier in 2008 AD and above with event forwarding. An...

  • RE: DECLARE - 1

    rmechaber (10/3/2012)


    Per BOL:

    length

    Is an optional parameter of nchar, nvarchar, char, varchar, binary, or varbinary data types. For CONVERT, if length is not specified, the default...

  • RE: Are the posted questions getting worse?

    GilaMonster (10/3/2012)


    HowardW (10/2/2012)


    Have to say, getting increasingly irate about e-book pricing. Why do I have to pay 50p more, given all the costs of printing, distributing and shipping a physical...

  • RE: Days Difference Between 2 Dates

    From Google translate:

    When ruigeas you country gheallaidh, if you were not him t'aire, coinnichidh Sasunnach riut,

    These plìon him, day dh'innseadh you gun God gave, father, brother, just two anns...

    Looks like you changed your avatar and signature.

    Yes, I change the avatar every few months; and switch languages (and messages) in the signature message quite often too. Avoids...

  • RE: Question of the Day for 26 Apr 2005

    On top of the ambiguity (I regard Steve's protestations about "the real world" as just so much waffle obfuscating the poor quality of the question) this question doesn't say whether...

  • RE: Question of the Day for 26 Apr 2005

    James Lean (4/26/2005)


    I thought this was a rather ambiguous question. The question asked how you would exclude JUST the oldest error log from the report. The correct answer...

    Miles Neale (5/2/2005)


    If you look at the following link there is some clear information about this.

    <A href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/rsadmin/htm/drp_customizing_v1_4hys.asp">http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/rsadmin/htm/drp_customizing_v1_4hys.asp</A&gt;

  • RE: Days Difference Between 2 Dates

    Nice question. Made me think.
