  • RE: Couldn''''t be a more Newbie question.

    Easiest is to do it in two steps

    UPDATE Table2 SET Description='LightBrown', code='lb' WHERE Description IN ('tan','beige')

    Then to remove duplicates

    DELETE FROM Table2 WHERE ID NOT IN

       (SELECT MIN(ID) FROM Table2

  • RE: Trailing Spaces being automatically trimmed?

    A few points...

    LEN(...) will always do a rtrim before it calculates the length. It's how the function works. If you retrieve the data you will see that the space is...

  • RE: Efficient trigger type

    AFTER and FOR are synonyms of each other. They create the same trigger. The only types of triggers available in SQL 2000 are AFTER and INSTEAD OF

  • RE: Selecting only 2 latest records

    True. If you only want movies with comments after a certain date (and by my reading that wasn't what was required. I read that he wants all movies with the...

  • RE: Selecting only 2 latest records

    Select [fields] FROM Movies INNER JOIN Comments ON [join clause]

    WHERE CommentID IN

     (SELECT TOP 2 CommentID From Comments c Where Comments.MovieID=Movies.MovieID ORDER BY TimeStamp DESC)

    No difference between FOR and AFTER

  • RE: xstatus in sysxlogins

    And bear in mind that if someone has managed to update a system table in the master database, then they're already compromised that server to a large degree.

  • RE: How could I return the next row(Or 8th row for example)

    SELECT TOP 1 ... FROM .... WHERE pk NOT IN (SELECT TOP n pk FROM table ORDER BY <3_varchar_columns_here> )

  • RE: String manipulate

    SQL's not overly fond of double quotes. In fact, if quoted identifiers is set on (which is a default) your query returns the following error

    Server: Msg 207, Level 16, State...

  • RE: String manipulate

    The quotes are in the wrong place. Try this

    set @str = ' where strs in (''40301'',''40301.16'') '

    The rest of atra's query should be fine.

  • RE: String manipulate

    Basically, use Charindex to find the location of the quotes in the string, then substring to extract the portion you want.

    DECLARE @str VARCHAR(15)

    SET...

    If you're asking how you get the just inserted rows, have a look in Books Online for details of the inserted and deleted tables.

  • RE: Transaction DeadLock

    Not necessarily. If the update affects a large portion of the table there's a good chance that SQL will take page, extent or even table locks.
