  • RE: DateTime Trick

    Surely date formatting should normally be part of the presentation layer? I always return the whole datetime value and format it on the client, using their regional settings etc.

  • RE: Varchar or Char?

    Thanks Hugo 🙂

  • RE: Varchar or Char?

    The question asks which is more efficient.

    The explanation describes which uses least space, which is not the same thing as most efficient.

    I suspect that the answer is correct, but would...

  • RE: AND & OR

    archie flockhart (10/14/2009)


    Not only a trick question, but one that is possible to get right by getting the reasoning all wrong...

  • RE: IN Operator

    Hugo Kornelis (10/2/2009)

  • RE: IN Operator

    Hugo Kornelis (10/2/2009)


    That standard dictates that when strings of unequal length are compared, the shorter string is first padded with spaces until it matches the length of the longer string,...

  • RE: T-SQL 2008

    bitbucket-25253 (10/1/2009)


    the question was designed to bring attention to the subtle changes made between 2005 and 2008. Too many people fixated on the word (subclauses) and not enough paid...

  • RE: T-SQL 2008

    The question was "SQL Server 2008 introduces several extensions (subclauses), to the GROUP BY clause"

    GROUPING_ID is not part of the GROUP BY clause!

    ChiragNS (9/23/2009)


    oops!! thought the checkboxes where radio buttons.

    And me. I even looked up the answer in BOL, as I'd never heard of the function, and so got the same only-partly-correct...

  • RE: cast, convert and float!

    A pity that 11 wasn't one of the options - then we'd have had to decide whether casting 10.5 as an integer truncated or rounded (and I would probably have...

  • RE: char to datetime!

    Actually, you could do an implicit or explicit conversion....

    I agree. That was my first thought as well.

    Me too. Since there was no 'either implicit...

  • RE: column & data type.

    sknox (7/23/2009)


    I haven't used SQL Server 6.5 or earlier, so I don't know if there was an alternate syntax or if you had to drop and recreate the column.

    From memory,...

    SanjayAttray (7/2/2009)


    Very basic. But, still 16 people got it wrong as of now. Amazing. :hehe:

    I think this QoD has been discussed enough, dont you agree! We all have different views on this case and let us leave it this way. The poor author...
