    Dev (11/14/2011)


    My ONLY argument is this.

    Agreed with Dev, but you can do it with a LIKE:

    SELECT

    SELECT '2|4|6' -- '3|24|4'

    ) SampleTable(ID)

    WHERE

    Apparently I am a Pediatric Dentist. My kids will be thrilled to find that out.

    And apparently I'm a dead painter. That would startle my wife and kids.

    Any way of accomplishing this with CTE(s) w/o getting into infinite looping/ max recursion thing?

    Thanks in advance

    Provided there is no loop in the table (ie there isn't a...

  • RE: Starting with "WITH"

    SQL Kiwi (11/13/2011)

    Surely the correct answer is "It depends on whether the subreport is placed in a data region (when it is repreated for every row/group) or in the main body (it...

  • RE: DBCC CHECKDB

    Good question.

    51% got it right so far, so it's a bit easier than some recent questions. I'm surprised that 16% ticked DBCC CHECKIDENT, though, anyone who did that they...
