  • RE: Being More Productive

    E-mail, cell phone and VPN are the top ones I think of first.

    E-mail alerts from servers are definitely part of what keeps me efficient.

  • RE: Audit audit triggers

    Because that way each insert is at the end of the table, and the table doesn't have to be split in the middle repeatedly because of inserts. Table splits...

    It's running 87 times because it increases by 1 each time, and there are 87 characters in the string.

  • RE: T-Sql rant

    The batch solution is what I ended up doing with something like this several years ago. Worked quite well.

  • RE: Concatenating field values in one string

    Yeah, the XML stuff definitely works best for strings of numbers. Add in text, and you run the risk of having to clean it up.

  • RE: Need a function to compare strings.

    Can you add a Case statment to the Diff value? "When Diff <=2 and abs(len(Name1)-len(Name2)) <= 1 then 'Y'". Will that solve what you need?

  • RE: Finding all Parents

    Look up "Common Table Expressions" (also called CTEs) in Books Online. It has a good example of how to use one to resolve hierarchies like this.

  • RE: Hex to Decmial Conversion

    Try something like this:

    declare @Bin varbinary(100);

    select @Bin = 0x004E4E1B;

    select cast(@Bin as int);

    Does that help?

    Try this, see if it helps:

    drop table #T;

    create table #T (

    ID int identity primary key,

    Col1 char(1) not null);

    insert into #T (Col1)

    select substring('abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz', number, 1)

    from dbo.Numbers
