    It's getting worse - only about 48.5% (83 out of 171) got it right so far.

    Nice question, but it's rather startling how many got it wrong. ...

  • RE: Number of Rows

    In my naivete I'm thinking 'so what?'.

    Aliases are not for columns where there is only one column possible.

    In the same way that you don't have to specify a column list when inserting into a table...

  • RE: T-SQL 2012 #2

    What would be a good use of this function?

    Why wouldn't you just add a lookup table containing the index and description, and join to that?

    So that any changes required to...

    I actually have a suggestion on Connect to add this feature - feel free to add your vote if you agree. Link: https://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/feedback/details/299231/add-support-for-ansi-standard-row-value-constructors

    NOT IN can only be used in limited cases. The comparison condition must be multi-column

    Do you mean 'the comparison condition cannot be multi-column'?

    That's one of the ways where...

    If you are talking about moving left to right in BODMAS, you will not get the correct answer. Take for instance 4 - 2 + 2.

    Moving left...

  • RE: Precedence in math

    sestell1 (1/10/2013)


    Toreador (1/10/2013)I think there's a common misconception that each letter of the acronym is a higher priority than the next, instead of being pairs of operations.

    That's true, but if...

  • RE: SQL JOINS

    (Bob Brown) (1/4/2013)


    Is number 3 an incorrect statement?

    The correct answer to that is 'sometimes' but since it's only a 2-state checkbox then it is incorrect. As I pointed...

  • RE: T-SQL

    Victor Abkin (1/4/2013)

    There are 4 correct ansers...
