  • RE: Normalization

    RonKyle (4/29/2011)


    Oh how I love (fast and easy) denormalized data; just write your code well enough to keep the tables in sync.

    That is asking a lot. In a...

    A bit of narcissism drove this, but I hit a whaaaaa type of site.

  • RE: Question of the Day for 21 Jun 2007

    Nice question. I'm not too impressed with the answer though. I got it "right" because I picked the answer closest to correct, but it's not actually correct. ...

  • RE: Normal Forms

    How quickly do you want it?

    Good question.

    I'm a bit surprised by the comments above indicating that they would go for a linked report for performance reasons. Unless it's clearly specified in the requirement for...

  • RE: Question of the Day for 29 Jun 2007

  • RE: Question of the Day for 25 Jul 2007

    Good question, but very dificult becase two of the options are less wrong than the other two but none is really good. The "need a restart" answer is nonsense...

    Cyclone (4/27/2011)


    Hi,

    We use SHA1 and store the result as Varbinary(MAX).
