  • Reply To: Setup SSL for SSRS for external access, SSRS running under VSA

    When I set up a wildcard cert for my SQL Server 2016 instance, I didn't actually follow that tutorial at all.  My approach was to test it on the test...

    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.

    Do the Access Database Engine drivers work on Windows Server 2012?

    READPAST is what you would use to read only the "unlocked" (ie rows without a lock) on them as you did.

  • Reply To: SQL Injection using Varchar(15) - sending in much longer than 15 characters???

    I don't have an Azure instance, but I just did a test on my SQL 2016 instance and was not able to reproduce what you were seeing.  My test:

  • Reply To: SQL If not null then insert N

    Another approach would be the CASE statement, so something like:

    CASE WHEN Person.Termination_Date IS NOT NULL THEN 'N' ELSE 'Y' END

    I prefer CASE statements over IIF's, but you...

  • Reply To: XML Parsing - Unable to switch encodiing using utf-8 when casting from NVARCHAR

    Not a problem.  I imagine there are other solutions as well.  If you KNOW you are wanting NVARCHAR for sure, you could also do a REPLACE on the utf-8 to...

  • Reply To: flatfiles without candidate keys to be used as unique key

  • Reply To: XML Parsing - Unable to switch encodiing using utf-8 when casting from NVARCHAR

    Was doing a little bit of random testing on this and I think the problem is that utf-8 is going to be VARCHAR.  utf-16 would be NVARCHAR.

    My guess then is that you may just need to wait for SAP to provide you with a driver that works with SQL Server 2019.
