    You know what's annoying?

    When you're reading something, think of something (maybe related, maybe not) that you want to look up, and in the time it took to...

  • RE: What is SQL Fertilization any links?

    Jeff Moden (5/31/2016)


    "SQL Fertilization" is when you go crop dusting in the server room. 😛 Gives new meaning to the term "It Depends". 😀

    Either that or it's a "code...

  • RE: Inserting XML

    Choose the "correct" answer by eliminating the ones that were definitely correct.

    Agree with the rest, code is working and no error occurs. A bit strange though, because according...

  • RE: Inserting XML

    I looked at the code and there was obviously nothing wrong with it. 😎 So why say there was an error ?

  • RE: Variable datatype DDL

    sabinweb (5/28/2016)


    One remark:

    `... and varchar defaults to 30 if not specified` ?

    Default value is 1 for the char and varchar data types

    Guys, come on. The drink of choice for me should be obvious.

    Even if it is a misspelled version of my name. @=)

  • RE: Freeze IO

    Never heard of this command before, didn't find any documentation on it, so I created a database to try it one (not wanting to risk doing something horrid to any...

  • RE: Grant > Deny?

    Nice question, but the reference chosen (https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms188371.aspx, the "GRANT Object Permissions (Transact-SQL)" page) was an unfortunate choice, because it still omits the important statement that column level grant overriding table...

  • RE: Tally OH! An Improved SQL 8K “CSV Splitter” Function

    The trick for counting CHAR(0) in a string is to count the number of length one substrings that are equal to CHAR(0). Gloriously inefficient, of course, but I don't...

  • RE: Tally OH! An Improved SQL 8K “CSV Splitter” Function

    Jeff Moden (5/14/2016)


    IMHO, no. It shouldn't return a NULL when the delimiter is NULL. It didn't find any NULLs as delimiters and, just like not finding a comma...

  • RE: A Lifetime of Software

    Grant Fritchey (4/27/2012)


    Retire? What's that word mean?
