  • RE: Simpsons' Paradox

    The findings of studies like this can be skewed, because it's limited to a biased population. For example, they are not surveying all mothers who gave birth, but rather only...

  • RE: What data should be converted/formatted in DB, vs in-app?

    First, definitely don't store pre-formatted data (ex: "$1200.50" or "01/11/2017 09:12AM") in the table as VARCHAR columns. That's a bad idea because it obstructs your ability to sum, evaluate, and...

  • RE: From which Microsoft version 32 - bit was stooped?

    When I look in MSDN subscriber downloads, I see x86 and x64 versions for SQL Server 2014. However, I don't see it for 2016.

    What are the specs (hardware and OS)...

  • RE: SQL Server is Getting More Popular
