    map @tablevariable to one of your database table, select that database...

  • RE: Dynamic SQL

  • RE: Temporary objects

    Just one question: why does the question say use two separate instances of SSMS or QA, and not two separate windows in one instance? The behaviour should be...

  • RE: A New Beginning

    I tend not to make calendar-based resolutions - after all, if I need to do something why should I wait until Jan 1 to do it?

  • RE: Is It Worth Upgrading to SQL Server 2008

    Good article, and much interesting discussion.

    The outfit I ran until the middle of last year will be going to SQLS 2008, despite it not being much different from 2005 -...
