  • Reply To: Table Date field format

    EDIT - disregard my post.  Everything I said has already been in previous replies.

     

    If memory serves, SQL Server presents the date in the format that is configured on the server. ...

    The above is all just my opinion on what you should do. 
    As with all advice you find on a random internet forum - you shouldn't blindly follow it.  Always test on a test server to see if there is negative side effects before making changes to live!
    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.

    Are you trying to install SQL fresh OR is this an upgrade of SQL 2012 to SP3?  Have you had SQL Server 2012 installed on that machine (and potentially the...

    I would start by taking out that "EXEC" line and use the PRINT line to see what is actually being run.  You are comparing OR inserting an NVARCHAR with an...

    At my workplace, we actually use SSIS to pull data across from "live" systems into our reporting database.  SOMETIMES it is a 1:1 copy of the data, sometimes we transform...

    My opinion - I do 1 solution per folder in SSRS on a per-subfolder basis.

    What I mean is if my SSRS layout is like:

    home/

    -- Inventoy/

    -- invReport1.rdl

    --invReprot2.rdl

    -- Warehouse/

    --WarehouseReport1.rdl

    I would have 1...
