  • RE: Is it possible?

    You can create a trace without using profiler. Take a look at sp_trace_create in Books Online.

  • RE: Why Are There So Many Editions?

    Steve Jones - Editor (2/23/2009)


    I've asked about the a la carte versions of SQL, but I think MS avoids that to prevent a nightmare of support issues. Which features do...

  • RE: Slow running query

    Any possibility of posting the code for the query? That usually helps in these cases.

  • RE: Updating a column with serial numbers

    It sounds to me like what you need is a view with a row_number column, instead of adding a column to the actual table. That way, you can include...

  • RE: Why Are There So Many Editions?

    I think it would be nice if you could customize an installation and price. For example, if Standard edition was the baseline and had exactly what it currently has,...

  • RE: Using Variables in SELECT statements

    You can't really do that as part of a view. You could do it in a proc with dynamic SQL, but a view doesn't have variable column names.

    Is there an ID column in your view? If not, what is that column called?

  • RE: Days and Time

    Use DateAdd. Like this:

    declare @String char(7), @Year char(4), @Day int

    select @String = '2009044'

    select @Year = left(@String, 4), @Day = right(@String, 3)

    You can use seconds...

  • RE: Querying small table against very large table, indexing strategy involved?

    I would expect those queries to execute in the same way. SQL is probably going to turn both of them into a nested loops join, which means they'll do...
