  • RE: Subtracting one field from another

    Ken (6/9/2009)


    Unfortunately Start and Close are in YYYYMMDD format.

    Which is why I convert them to a string to strip out what I need.

    Guess what, I am pretty sure that valid...

  • RE: Subtracting one field from another

    What are the data types for vtbl_Job_Descript_Master.START and vtbl_Job_Descript_Master.CLOSED?

    If START is a datetime, a simple solution would be YEAR(dateadd(mm, -3, vtbl_Job_Descript_Master.START))

    I personally think 1m tlog backup is too much. 🙂

    For any particular reason (performance, IO, space etc) or just the best practice?

    Agreed that it's too much but then...

    He is obviously new to SQL Server and really needs to start doing some research instead of asking such broad based questions like this one.

  • RE: SSL option

    Krasavita (6/9/2009)


    I need to know if SQL Server can communicate with other applications.

    Thank you

    And in what manner are you talking about? That too is a big topic. It...

  • RE: Should you use your full name as a username?

    I think that really comes down to a personal choice. When I registered on SSC, I just decided it was easier to use my name. Plus, I couldn't...

  • RE: date conversion

    Is the day portion always 2 characters, in other words you don't have 1109 (mdyy)?

  • RE: execute as owner

    Cross posting won't help you get greater responses. It will just fragment the responses you get.

  • RE: Updating backed up data

    Additional thought. If you were able to automate such a delete/update routine, what if a delete were done by mistake? How would you recover the accidently deleted/updated data...

  • RE: Updating backed up data

    Not possible, and doesn't make sense to do it in my opinion. You'd have to restore the every backup to determine if the data existed, then delete it, then...
