    Good question.

    For everybody who seems to be hung on the verbiage I can only say "GET OVER IT". English is not the native tongue of everybody on this...

    I got the answer right but got the intention of the question wrong.

    When I thought, can I get that script to run without changing it, my method to achieve...

    Finally, I can give you one example where this knowledge can be useful: when you have a co-worker whose idea of fun it is to change...

    Sorry, I don't agree:

    set ansi_nulls off

    select 1 where 1 <> null

    Hmmm, interesting. Good, solid evidence. However, when I add SET ANSI_NULLS OFF or SET ANSI_NULLS ON to...

    I think any comparison against NULL will yield Unknown, which is not True, and therefore records won't be returned.

    Yes that's correct!

    +1

    And even worse...

    And even worse the answer is incorrect with ANSI NULLS off.

    At leats this thankfully won't be an issue sooner or later. SET ANSI NULLS OFF will throw...

  • RE: Commenting in Dynamic query

    Hugo Kornelis (8/4/2012)


    Am I overlooking something, or has nobody yet asked the really relevant question - why would anyone put comments in dynamic SQL? They should go in the non-dynamic...

    You could be right. I see a space there, but on more careful study of the image I'm far from sure. :ermm:

  • RE: Commenting in Dynamic query

    Oh, the variables are too short.

    Nice easy question.

    But obviously batch 1 works, and batch 2 can't work (because the table is dropped by the exit from exec), and only one...

    Very good question. I write code fairly often and it seems there is more to think about in SQL about scope than many programming languages. Either that or...
