  • RE: The COUNT Function in T-SQL

    FWIW I dug into this a while back. For any query of the form:

    select count(<some constant>) from sometable

    the execution plan, on the Stream Aggregate operator, shows an expression aggregate...

    Alan.B (6/23/2016)[snip]

    Thanks for all the detail, Alan. It really helps. I suspect the mdq.ngrams function could easily be improved (could be multi-threaded, e.g.) though it's probably not a...

  • RE: Nasty Fast N-Grams (Part 1): Character-Level Unigrams

    A little off-topic, but Master Data Services comes with CLR-functions that do N-Grams and other nice things. Here's a reference on that:

  • RE: Introduction to U-SQL and Azure Data Lakes

    Question: is there an on-prem version of this? I'm in banking which is heavily regulated and generally paranoid (and rightly so!) We have an on-prem cloud for server/database...

    Also, to be clear, there are highly useful features in many SQL versions that are not supported by others. We use them nonetheless

    I vote for the CTE/subquery approach.

    The day you're porting your SQL to another database engine, e.g. ORACLE, you'll damn all of the MSSQL-specific code 🙂

  • RE: Using IronPython to talk to SQL Server

    Bosko Vukov (6/13/2016)


    There is very little reason to use IronPython when CPython offers so many great (well tested) libraries for everything you could possibly need (and code snippets are available...
