    Does anyone have experience with the freeware version of SqlSafe? Can this product safely used in a production enviroment?

    Jeff,

    (Did you miss my earlier posts?)

    Case would be a lot easier for very simple examples but sometimes @nbr is derived and for clarity/optimization it would be better to...

  • RE: SQL - Derived Tables

    Hey Prashant...

    You remember I said "don't let it dampen your writing spirit"? Here's why... like I said, you have some good information in your article and people have already...

  • RE: SQL - Derived Tables

    ...and everything happens in memory instead of a combination of memory and disk.

    ...while a temporary table exists until the server is brought down and also it uses lot of disk...

  • RE: Exporting to a fixed length FF with varying record lengths

    You bet, Jeremy... thanks for the feedback. Just remember... if you have lots of data, BCP with a format file will absolutely scream compared to this concatenation method.

  • RE: Performance of Scripts in SQL Server 2000

    Crud... guess I need to start another rant! This forum won't allow me to post a "backslash-n" even in the code window. Line 188 of the BCP format...

    Of course... but I guess I'd rather keep it professional (or at least try to salvage some semblance of professionalism on my part after my initial outburst) by not citing...

  • RE: returning data for a given month

    That would be the one... they're pretty smart making it a new datatype... will actually keep 23:59:59.997 code from breaking... unless it's used on the wrong column type.

  • RE: LTRIM linked field

    Heh... glad someone occasionally gets a laugh out of those... 😛

    More on the serious side... the "Bat with a nail in it" is actually a metaphore for what I do...

  • RE: Exporting to a fixed length FF with varying record lengths

    Right idea but no need for the loop...

    SELECT CAST(varchara AS CHAR(10))
