    Could 42 possibly be the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?

    Nope... it's the terminal velocity for a pork chop with a...

  • RE: Counting occurances of strings in table column

    Not sure if this is still an issue, and it's late for me. Both of those are reasons I shouldn't post code. 😛

    It occurs to be that a...

    Steve Jones - SSC Editor (5/3/2011)


    There are a few things that will automatically go to disk with tempdb. After some checking, you cannot get away from spillage during queries. If...

  • RE: TempDB is Unneccessary

    Yes, I was somewhat thrown when it was suggested that TempDB would be redundant if there was enough RAM. Problem is that the vendor concerned is, well, prestigious enough...

  • RE: The Trouble with Double

    Brandie Tarvin (4/26/2011)


    You know what really ticks me off?

    Flipping the variable to Object, testing the task with Decimal and Float, flipping both task and variable back to Double...

  • RE: The SQL Server 2008 Datetimeoffset Data Type

    , @Val2varchar(50)

    select@Val1 = 'G1.EngCoolTemp'

    selectsubstring(@Val2, len(@Val1)+2, 50)

    I like Craig's advice, but Michael's is probably where I'd start. Usually shrinkage affects inventory, so I'd compare ordering with sales and look...

  • RE: NEW SEQUENCE NUMBER DAILY?

    Hmmm. Not sure you're quite there yet. What you have gives you:

    CFS-20110401-008

    CFS-20110401-009

    CFS-20110401-0010

    CFS-20110401-0011

    CFS-20110401-0012
