  • RE: Password expired and Deactivate logon Id

    The best option I can think of is output to a temp table, including the $action value (Output clause option). Then insert from the temp table into the archive...

  • RE: Evaluating Spaces

    I don't know if there's a direct way to handle that.

    What do you do with the parameter value in the function? There might be a workaround.

    Yeah, if it works when you run it, and not when the service account runs it, it's definitely a permissions issue. Do you have a domain admin you can...

  • RE: Revamping a data storage model- would XML be a good idea?

    That's pretty much what sparse columns were designed for. Should work out well. Or at least better than EAV or XML.

    If it's the other way around, you can run into truncation problems when a parameter is larger than its target column. This way, with the parameter smaller, it won't...

  • RE: Different RESULT mssql_query vs. SSMS?????

    In SSMS, does the query insert into the same target?

    I've seen SSIS have problems like what you're describing, because of different datatypes in the target than in the source. ...

  • RE: Looking for advice with setting up a new procedure to run jobs

    What you're doing is essentially a "mutex". I've done pretty much the same thing for several jobs in several shops, and it has worked out just fine for me.
