  • RE: The T-SQL Quiz

    Mike C (5/29/2007)


    God-awful loops and cursors. It's all I seem to see these days, and getting people to think about changing them? Even when you can demonstrate 100%, 200%, 500%,...

  • RE: Disk Storage Costs per annum

    Steve Jones - Editor (4/21/2008)


    You don't need admin costs, you need savings based on GB. It's the cost of your GB per year in media, people, time, etc.

    That's actually exactly...

    I have to agree with GSquared. This one made me do some research to see which of these would work.

    apologies. The question has been changed (and answers) and everyone to this point in time is awarded points.

  • RE: Using Lists in stored procedure

    Antonio... that's some interesting code, but

    select * from dbo.fListToText( 'a,b,c', ',' )

    the function flisttotext is missing from the code.

    At first I thought it was using flisttoitems, but when I...

    The other answer " datename(m,join_date) like '%a%' " is also not correct as it will not give the list of employees who joined in the month of FEB

    SELECT

    [UID],

    GETDATE()
