    Piling on with Jeff, I'd rather enable the developers to keep them going as fast as possible in the dev environment. I've always had at least...

  • RE: Backups

    Hugo Kornelis (5/29/2012)


    But the phrasing of the question is poor. I assume the intention was to ask which system database can be backed up full but not differential, but the...

  • RE: The SSIS service in 2012

    Good question.

    But my brain is not working right today. I thought to myself "can I execute a package if SSIS service isn't running? Yes, of course I can" and...

    Heh, try searching SQL_MODULES for '%cursor%open%while%fetch%close%deallocate%', Tom. Those suckers have cursors in them!

    Well, it's possible that that could occur within a string literal (or split across several string...

    If people would just format their code they could figure out some of their own problems. Geez.

    Many should format it all at...

  • RE: Logical Operators

    lbrigham (5/24/2012)


    Add me to this list too. I answered OR having higher precedent than AND because it doesn't matter what the evaluation of one side of the OR is...

    Basic computer science question, nice and easy, thanks.

    Can't believe almost a third got it wrong!

    Bak to skool! 😛

    "computer science" question? Since when was T-SQL operator precedence part of...

    Toreador (5/24/2012)


    I can't believe that 21% have currently got it completely wrong, thinking that OR has precedence over AND! Hopefully they're just all misunderstanding what 'precedence' means 😉

    It seems more...

  • RE: Transactions 2
