    NOLOCK? :sick:

    With RCS enabled writers don't block readers. Is this the kind of concurrency issue you're trying to address?

  • RE: Updating Image data type with varchar datatype

    Updating Image type data is done via WriteText or UpdateText. It's not simple, but read the documentation and test a few samples and you'll get it.

    Documentation is here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms187993.aspx

  • RE: Need help using function across server
