  • RE: @@rowcount Returns 0

    Just a guess.  @@rowcount is returning the rowcount from the current context (in this case, the trigger).

    How about using

  • RE: Export a SELECT as an ASCII file

    You might want to try the "-W" option.  From BOL:

  • RE: case when problem in query

    This doesn't match the syntax from BOL, for example:

     CASE ProductLine

             WHEN 'T' THEN 'Touring'

  • RE: Temp table in a stored proc

    I'd try this first:

     

    Select the input parameters

    SELECT @DefaultDate, @EmpId,@CusId,@hiDay, @loDay

    so you can ensure they're being passed correctly.

    Take the single quotes off the 0 in the @loDay definition

    Take the # off the...

  • RE: Need advise on becoming a DBA

    I don't know what classes you've had, but I'd also recommend some foundational knowledge on the relational model.  Chris Date's books are, IMHO, the de facto standard basic text.  While...

    From the MSDN site:

    Status bits, some of which can be set by using ALTER DATABASE as noted:

    4 = select into/bulkcopy (ALTER DATABASE using...

  • RE: TSQL table row counts don''''t match EM row counts

    They're not the same because EM uses the rowcounts in sysindexes ( or the Information_Schema equivalent) to give you an APPROXIMATE row count, while count(*) actually counts the rows.  Updating...
