  • RE: Tracking Processes

    Nice easy question (now that the wording has been edited a little).

    But sp_who2 is not very useful, and isn't documented anywhere as far as I can tell.

    I used sp_who2 ages...

    Yes, Craig mentioned a certain person (naughty...

  • RE: Design pattern for Phone

    Luis Cazares (8/24/2012)


    The design relies on many things and the most common (and correct) answer is "it depends".

    That seems to me to be the most anyone could say without...

    lanre_makinde (9/19/2012)


    Sorry the explanation is wrong. Then the question is not properly framed. Questions should be aimed at eliciting understanding....

    It appears to me to be right, to...

    Kind of erodes the confidence in certain uses of the product.

    Huh? Why?

    SELECT TOP ... without ORDER BY is like saying "give me the first by any...

  • RE: odd data design (at least to me)

    patrickmcginnis59 (9/19/2012)


    I've seen product tables like that. One advantage to them I see is that the organization using this can enter product attributes and values for those attributes without having...

    Does EXCEL handle that many columns? I didn't think it did (well, reasonably anyway) but I've certainly been inaccurate before.

    No, it doesn't....

  • RE: Tablesample

    dglane (9/18/2012)


    What a coincidence. In a thread below that I read, I learned that this may be the EAV model.

    It does indeed look like a variant of EAV -...

  • RE: FILTER

    Nice easy question.

    I'm sure I selected 6, but the system told me I was wrong. I guess I didn't select what I though selected - senility setting in,...

  • RE: Backups

    Good question.

    But the referenced BoL page doesn't describe this behaviour, the problem isn't that a media set can't contain both compressed and uncompressed backups (if both backups worked in the...
