    I wouldn't even attempt to use SSIS to make daily copies of tables with schemas that can change daily.

    First, you can query INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS to determine if...

  • RE: How to understand NoSQL Databases

    Many client access libraries (ADO.NET and LINQ) support CRUD operations for XML. Also, starting with Windows 2008 / Vista, the NTFS file system supports transactional writes. So, an XML document...

    My Lenovo laptop came bundled with something called VeriFace, which can substitute facial recognition for login password. It also appears to encrypt files and folders using using facial recognition. However,...

    How about this?

    SELECT TOP 1 *

    FROM MyTable

    ORDER BY DateOfBirth DESC

    We also can't assume that DateOfBirth isn't nullable.

    SELECT TOP 1 *

    FROM MyTable

    WHERE DateOfBirth is not null

    ORDER BY DateOfBirth DESC

  • RE: Getting DateOfBirth of youngest person.

    Explain what it means to "get the person"; do you want to return the entire person row, just the person's ID, etc. ?

    Why does it tend to fail (besides login issues) a lot? What kind of number is "a lot" of servers?

    Although currently I'm just looping through 11 servers and doing...

    Oh I have this: http://www.mssqltips.com/sqlservertip/1037/system-information-in-sql-server-2000-vs-sql-server-2005

    My question was more whether anyone has done "CREATE VIEW sys.databases ...;" already or not~

    Since your code needs to run against 2000 - 2008, perhaps...

    another possibility is to create the user with the "right" limited permissions, with the same password as 'sa' currently;

    that should be easy to do , since everyone is logging...

    In SSMS, you can right click an object and select 'View Dependencies'.

  • RE: Restrinct for insert update and delete from a specific table

    This situation smells like Entity Framework. I'll bet it's developers telling management they need sysadmin membership in production or else the application won't work.
