  • RE: Can you determine size of tiff document (width & height)

    When you say you store the size, I'm assuming you mean something other than width and height. File size maybe?

  • RE: The OVER SQL construct or statement is not supported.?

    The most likely problem is that the database is in Compatibility level 80 (or earlier). Check that.

  • RE: Like or IN or exists ??

    Instead of doing it in the Where clause, do it with a Join.

    select *

    from Table1

    inner join Table2

    on Table1.Col1 like '%' + Table2.ColA + '%'

    where Table1.Col2 = 'xx';

    Like that.

  • RE: Does the SQL server log its requests and responses?

    If you mean login requests, you can do that through what's called a Login Trigger. Data on those is here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb326598.aspx
