    Roy Ernest (6/28/2011)


    I forgot the fact that it was 2900 odd, I thought my post count was 1900 odd. 😛

    And my posts are just plain odd.

  • RE: XML Data Type

    They can either use any normal XML-reader (SSMS works for that), or they can store the data as something other than XML. Those are really the options available.

    No. Since those are part of the results of the proc, they are assumed to be something you want. If you don't want them, you need to tell...

    It can work with any type of column.

    The "with" statement defines a "recursive common table expression" (also called "recursive CTE"), and is used to crawl a hierarchy. If that's...

    Have you tried just running the select statement by itself?

  • RE: windows groups

    Are you using anything beyond:

    Any options?

    Avoid the extra outputs in the proc. What are they meant to do?

  • RE: PGP Encryption in SSIS

    I'm using GnuPG for encrypting files from SSIS 2005 before uploading them to an FTP site. I use a scripting object to call the command-line options I need.

    Works great.

    I guess it depends on what you want to do with a date that's a zero-length string. What does that represent, in terms of use/business logic?

  • RE: Action required to delay execution of objects within a ForEach loop

    Okay, you got me curious. Why delay creating the file by a minute?

    (I'd probably just have used a T-SQL WAITFOR command, instead of a loop.)

    I'd have to see your code to really get what you're running into.
