  • RE: How to return rows based on a condition

    In your second example, why is only the first row to be returned?

    According to your logic, the second row should also be returned, since there is also no match at...

  • RE: How to make Net Meeting a success

    Or short-circuit the whole thing, start calling yourself a "Microsoft NVP" (Not-Quite As Valuable Player), and see how many people think it's just a typo.

    That one is worth remembering...

    It kind of depends on how much processors you have.

    But normally, I would expect parallellism to win. Just make sure no locks are introduced.

    Cube wizard will just provide a "doable" structure. Good for learning. Cannot be used for live systems/projects 🙂

    I'm curious. Why do you say it can't be...

  • RE: Date table not in cube

    Koen (da-zero) (1/20/2011)


    SSAS doesn't add the dimension itself to the cube, unless you used the cube wizard.

    I did use the cube wizard. That's what was so frustrating. No...

  • RE: SSIS Package to export data to a spreadsheet

    The most basic solution is using the sp_send_dbmail stored procedure.
