  • RE: Fun with datetime

    DATETIME is really a FLOAT in the background (although it is a "fixed point float", if you can imagine that). DATETIME uses the same BINARY math as FLOAT.

  • RE: What is mean by Programming styles?

    Sounds like some of the other "Senior Software Engineers" I've interviewed... and rejected :Whistling:

  • RE: How to create SQL Views to gather data from an ORACLE database?

    Haven't tried it in a view before... you must either create a Linked Server or use OPENROWSET or OPENDATASOURCE.

  • RE: Multi-statement Table_valued Function error

    sp_ExecuteSQL is not an "extended stored procedure" or it would begin with "xp_". Neither is any form of dynamic SQL. I'm afraid that you're out of luck.

    In fact,...

  • RE: Manipulating a String

    Sorry... missed the "MonetaryValue" column that you included in your code but not in your problem definition... this will do it...

    SELECT s.RowID,

  • RE: Manipulating a String

    Output should be:

    '80 98439 9991 997 -50.000' should be Type = 80 Code = 98439

    '0000058916 00000074000039708' should be Type = NULL Code = NULL

    '0000058916 00000074000039708' should be Type...

  • RE: Aggregate query problem

    My bad... didn't read your post correctly... didn't realize the code that you posted was a snippet that would be used with the CTE.

  • RE: Query for nth lowest sequence in a group

    JOIN #source s1 ON s1.cuslink = s.cuslink AND s1.[sequence] <= s.[sequence]

    That'll work just fine... provided that the CusLink groups don't get large... and they don't need to get real large...

  • RE: INSERTED DUPLICATE RECORDS

    The vb program will split the strings and remove unnecessary values such as 0's, and converts strings to datetime.

    Yep... you're right... database sure can't do any of that ;)...

  • RE: sorting strings

    Test it I did...

    Server: Msg 170, Level 15, State 1, Procedure fnNumAlphaFmt, Line 29

    Line 29: Incorrect syntax near '9'.

    If you believe that the numeric portion will never exceed that...

  • RE: drop constraint fails

    Do you get any error messages?

  • RE: Single record processing

    My source is a flat file (csv) and I need to process records one by one. At now records are processed in groups of hundreds and my process can't work...

  • RE: INSERTED DUPLICATE RECORDS

    Who said anything about a "manual process"? Schedule it! BCP, a proc that uses Bulk Insert, and DTS can all be scheduled.

    Does your table have a valid, non-surrogate...

  • RE: How to improve our written skill ?

    I agree... length of documentation has nothing to do with good documentation. But saying something like "Me want buy thet contest" will make quite a different impression than "I...

  • RE: What is the difference between Programmer and Good Programmer ?

    Heh... forgot to mention that great programmers also know when and how to buck the system. Otherwise, the become unemployed programmers. 😉
