    Honestly, if I were you, I'd set up a proof-of-concept database, try some sample data that way, and see if it does what you need and what you expect.

  • RE: SQL Server datetime

    In SQL 2008, there's a Date datatype that can do this. In 2005 and before, the usual thing to do is store a date with midnight as the time.

  • RE: Alram tables

    Per http://www.thefreedictionary.com/null, yes, since null is a synonym for zero.

  • RE: Mathematical Theory (controversy!)

    Of course it's true, so long as the ellipse there really means "repeating more nines infinitely".

    1/3*3=1

    If those are true,...
