  • RE: Rolling DateDiff to compare dates within a dataset

    Row_Number() is how I'd do that. It actually does create a loop, but it's a LOT more efficient than a cursor, triangular join, or explicit loop (While loop).

  • RE: Checksum function???

    I'm pretty sure it was checksum, not binary. Since I didn't care about the difference in case, which is the primary difference between the two.

    select checksum('A'),checksum('a'), binary_checksum('A'), binary_checksum('a');

    Results:

  • RE: Is there a way to query SQL Server logs to see when DML occurred?

    If the database is in Full recovery mode, then yes. ApexSQL and Lumigent both publish log parsers that can read SQL 2005 transaction logs.

    How about this: When things are really screwed up, are you more likely to be the one that screwed it up or the one that fixes it?

  • RE: Creating a new user there appears to be default permmison set up

    What login are you creating the user accounts based on? If the server-level login has certain rights, database-level user accounts will have those rights.

  • RE: Checksum function???

    You can use a checksum to narrow down the search. It can make a good leading-edge for what would otherwise be a multi-column index.

    Checksum isn't exact, but it can...

  • RE: Urgent: Help regarding "For XML" Clause

    For XML won't do line-feeds because XML files don't need them. That's what tags are for.

    Why do you need line-feeds in XML?
