  • RE: Is there a way to generate an insert stored procedure

    Lowell's answer is probably more practical. Also for my post, I forgot the procedure declarations!

    DECLARE @TABLE_NAME VARCHAR(100)

    SET @TABLE_NAME = 'ABC'

    CASE

    WHEN SEQ = 2 OR SEQ = 7 OR SEQ...

  • RE: Is there a way to generate an insert stored procedure

    SET @TABLE_NAME = 'ABC'

    The question isn't whether disparity exists, it's whether the ability to move along the income spectrum exists.

  • RE: Help needed to INSERT using a column values variable as a result of a SELECT

    From what I can tell by the referenced string splitter routine presented by Jeff Moden, when fed a delimitted string, it returns a table like:

    return_table(

    itemnumber int,

    item varchar(whatever)

    so to use this...

    Eric M Russell (6/6/2012)


    I personally wouldn't consider PowerShell, Perl, or even T-SQL scripting to be "software development". Likewise, I wouldn't consider Entity Framework or LINQ to be "database development".

    Sorry about that. I was trying to make the point that "generic" database designs aren't really possible due to the nature of the underlying infrastructure. Clearly failed.
