  • RE: Using semi-colon in t-sql

    It's an "end of command" marker. Currently, it's voluntary, but as Matt mentioned, it's supposed to be mandatory at some point.

  • RE: Access to variables in Script Task

    If you search for "SSIS variable" in Books Online, it has data on how to set variable values programmatically, and so on.

  • RE: Timesheets for DBA/DBDs

    That's a good idea, Steve. Remove the name/user ID from it, so it's not a "blamethrower" log, just a billable hours log.

    Forgetting to highlight the Where clause is just one example.

  • RE: Approving Changes

    Something like that would require a lookup table and some more complex rules, but it could certainly be done.

    If you go that way, you might also want to add an...

  • RE: sql query help

    How about:

    select sum(UnitPrice), min(ProductOption)

    from totalsum

    Will that give you what you want?

    Or, when you say "first", do you mean the lowest, or the one in the first row? What if...

  • RE: Keeping user database in memory

    You could, but there's no real reason for it. SQL Server will cache the data and such for you pretty efficiently.

    If you really need to do that, use DBCC...

  • RE: select multiple identity values after insert?

    The other thing you can do is join the inserted data back to the source data, in a second query.

    For example:

    create table #T (

    MyTableID int primary key);

    insert into dbo.MyTable (columns)

    output...

  • RE: Need to query the day before for a range of dates.

    You can do direct math on datetime data.

    Why not use:

    workitem_created_on >= @StartDateTime and workitem_created_on < @EndDateTime

    You just have to make sure that @StartDateTime is the date, and time, you want...

  • RE: IntelliSense on SQL Server 2005

    Management Studio won't do that for 2005 (even Management Studio 2008). You have to get a third party product for that, like the ones from RedGate and ApexSQL.

    I haven't seen an option for that in the installer. Probably should be, and maybe I'm just missing it, but I haven't seen it.
