  • RE: implement parent and child in build of materials “

    Seems like near impossible to do. The only way you could enforce this, is by adding a 'BOM level' to the product table.

    E.g. Car = 1, Wheel = 2, Hubcap...

  • RE: Outer join failing

    I'm afraid we're not going to solve your problem without any additional input.

    Can you post some DDL and sample data on this problem...

  • RE: Which is better - execution speed or code reuse?

    Same here, I would go for code reuse IF (and only if) the performance remains acceptable.

    Maybe, an in-between approach, would be to create a view for each 'codename' you have....

  • RE: Outer join failing

    Can't see a reason for this behaviour. Maybe somewhere down the line, one of the outer joins gets 'converted' to a cross join?

    I would suggest advancing step by step, adding...

  • RE: using "IN" in my query ... suggestions?

    Mike,

    You certainly have to add the ID values to a temporary table. A previous thread (not so long ago) talked about performance problems with a huge IN clause.

    If possibly, I...

  • RE: Help part 2... sorry

    Logic like this :

    
    
    DECLARE @strToCheck varchar(100)
    DECLARE @iPos int

    SELECT @strToCheck = column_name FROM ...

    WHILE LEN(@strToCheck) > 0
    SET @iPos = CHARINDEX(CHR(10), @strToCheck)

  • RE: Reporting Tools

    I think most important names have been dropped in the thread. Cognos and BusinessObjects are big players in BI (and reporting).

    Both suites offer a host of functionality, besides pure reporting,...

  • RE: What makes a good developer?

    Dalecorey,

    Glad we agree on the outcome of this discussion. And yes, you are right that both intelligence AND logic are needed for a programmer.

    Does this thread qualify for the longest...

  • RE: What makes a good developer?

    Frank,

    Been there .. done that. But ended up with a horrible application that was in no way maintainable. One simple example : one function with about 1500 lines of code,...

  • RE: What makes a good developer?

    dalecorey,

    I am still struggling with your interpretation for the need of intelligence.

    Obviously, a programmer needs to be intelligent in the way that he can perform the analysis (and in heaps...

  • RE: What makes a good developer?

    Seems to be turning into an endless discussion here...

    Does everyone more or less see a developper as being someone who :

    1. Is able to translate requirements into a design.

    2. Is...
