    Hello,

    I have question:

    What is index fragmentation? Why is important to keep it at or below 20%?

    Because it tastes better that way.

  • RE: datetime stored as integer, please help!

    DateAdd month, if you're using the Arabic calendar or Chinese calendar, functions quite differently than if you're using the Gregorian calendar. All by itself, that makes the function non-deterministic.

    I prefer "tastes great" over "less filling". She's marginally better looking, in my opinion.

    Right. In that case, you'd use "Where left(Zip, 5) = '05123'", instead of "Where Zip = '05123'". That's why I referenced the Left() function.
