  • RE: SCREW MICROSOFT !!!

    I've only had to do it once, and that was almost a year ago, so I'd pretty much have to dig through MSDN and online searching to do it. ...

  • RE: Cursors. Are the really that evil?

    Cursors are just a tool. The problem with them is misuse.

  • RE: SCREW MICROSOFT !!!

    Let me guess, you upgraded to a 64-bit system from a 32-bit system?

    If so, it's pretty much just a matter of downloading and registering the necessary drivers.

  • RE: datediff on dates contained in single column

    Join the table with itself on ID.

    Would look something like:

    select *, datediff(day, EventA.Time, EventB.Time) as Days

    from dbo.MyTable EventA

    full outer join dbo.MyTable EventB

    on EventA.ID = EventB.ID
