  • RE: A Dearth of Comments

    Documentation is like insurance. You hope it'll never be needed, but if it is needed, you hope you have enough. And you hope the guy whose fault the...

  • RE: highest unused ID

    If it's an identity column, you can use the ident_current() function. Be careful with that though, since if it's run while an insert is being done, it will give...

  • RE: Using linked servers with domain accounts

    It can be done, through Kerberos (or however that's spelled). I don't know the details, since I had a domain admin do the work for me.

    The other option is...

  • RE: Moving DB from Test to Production - SQL server 2005

    The first thing I'd do is do some testing with more rows of test data. If you're expecting hundreds of thousands of rows, and you test with 5-10, you...

    I have to go with "it depends", too. What is the table used for? How normalized is it? (If not sure what that means, ask. A...

  • RE: Datediff not calculating corectly

    YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM isn't an implicit conversion that's localization dependent, so far as I know. The problem is almost certainly a typo in the first year. I think the...

  • RE: Access Denied performing backup on a Network File Share

    I don't think I've ever tried to run a backup from SQL onto a remote drive without having a domain to control access.

    I don't think a mapped drive will work,...

  • RE: four part function name

    That's the point. You can't do scalar UDFs that way. Have to convert it to a proc (or create a parallel proc that locally calls the function), and...

  • RE: four part function name

    I seem to remember having trouble with UDFs on remote servers before. I think I ended up having to convert to procs to get them to work.
