    That part is the EASY bit.  Set the report parameter to allow multiple values.  Then set the report parameter to be a variable in the query and use your WHERE...

    I recommend you NEVER run "random code" you found online on any system you care about UNLESS you understand and can verify the code OR you don't care if the code trashes your system.

  • Reply To: SSRS Int64 Multi Select Report Parmeter error

    This one is actually answered in the documentation.  First I went here:

    https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/reporting-services/report-design/report-parameters-report-builder-and-report-designer?view=sql-server-2016

    which gives an overview of report parameters in SSRS 2016.  From there, I searched for "Data Type" which listed...

    Congrats!  I have the same certificate and I think I got the same score actually.

    Are your plans to keep going and getting more certs or stopping at the MTA?

    I wouldn't bother with NOLOCK as that doesn't work with UPDATE queries.  Won't get a syntax error, the hint just gets ignored.

    As for a good alternative, if you NEED a...

    Stream design doesn't introduce blocking.  Your stored procedure is creating the blocking.

    You even said it creates blocking - you are requesting an update lock on the table.  So anything that...

    Index fragmentation is a very heated debate on SSC and ranges between "don't ever do it" to "do it once it gets above x%".  My advice - if the index...
