First look indicates that you have not specified how to join systemDataTest and res_test which will result in a cartesian join. Can you post table ddl.

f.Fax,

f.WebSite

It should be noted that SERVERPROPERTY is SQL2K only. The question only specified 'version number of your SQL Servers' not specific versions. Therefore, this question when applied to me (SQL7...

You can if you use TRANSACTIONS

This may help for the future. When doing deletes that involve joins I first create a select query (using the table to delete from as the main table) to check...

Hi Frank,

Long time no conversation Frank

No nice emoticons

But you can still type the text equivalent

eg <colon>O <colon>sick<colon> <semicolon><rightbracket>

SELECT CHARINDEX('1','~'+@str)/2
