  • Reply To: Need Help with Pivot / Unpivot SQL

    One way to do it that I think should work would be to do a self join.  So something like:

    SELECT
    [t1].[empID]
    , [t1].[empl_rcd]

    , [t1].[joblevel]...

    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!

  • Reply To: Does Every BEGIN require an END

    I can think of only 1 case where a BEGIN doesn't have an END - BEGIN TRANSACTION.  That requires a COMMIT or a ROLLBACK.   Otherwise I agree with Jeff here...

  • Reply To: Unable to connect to Remote SQL Server Application from C# Application

    Few things I would try, but the first would be to connect to the server using the FQDN rather than the friendly name.

    With your ROUND, you are rounding to 3 decimal places so that is why you are getting a bunch of 0's.
