    I know a few users I'd like to send into space.

    Pigs In Space

    Need a whole pig launcher for that - pork chop launcher inadequate.

    Unless there is some means of reconstructing the pigs from parts.

  • RE: Database Mirroring Failover

    Nice easy one today.

    But the 17% mentioned above has gone up to 22% now.

    Surprised that 60 people (22%) so far got it wrong; even people who don't know...

    I notice that we are now up to approimately 25% correct.

    How on earth did that happen?

    I think John Arnott already answered that question in this post.

  • RE: Prime Attributes

    palotaiarpad (10/12/2011)


    Hmmmm.

    I used the same source (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Database_normalization) i hope (because the link provided on the result page isn't existing), and there is a definition: A prime attribute, conversely, is an...

    Good question, definitely not 01100001 0110001101101111011011010111000001101100011001010111010001100101 01110100011010010110110101100101 011101110110000101110011011101000110010101110010

    I guess some people will be surprised by except and union having lower precedence than intersect.

    I was surprised myself that union and except...

  • RE: Indexes

    Nice straightforward question and answer.

  • RE: Output of Query

    Good question.

    But the real answer of course is "it depends" on what the setting of ansi_nulls is; it's on by default in an SSMS query window, so the given answer...

  • RE: HASHBYTES can help quickly load a Data Warehouse

    Langston Montgomery (10/8/2011)


    Has anyone come across cases where SHA1 has produced output longer than 20 bytes, because I think I have. We are using HASHBYTES to detect changes in our...

    Tu crois qu'il me serait util de m'inscrire à AgentSolo.com? Y aura-t-il d'emploi qui m'intéresserait? (Access ne le ferait point!)

    For instance, this paper that's referenced isn't necessarily Normalization Form mainstream.
