  • RE: SELECT TOP ????

    These queries weren't in views, by any chance? Using SELECT TOP xxxxx (where xxxxx is a number far larger than the maximum possible rows ever expected to be returned by...

  • RE: copy files through network to another server

    If you think about it, it has to work that way--otherwise, you'd be transferring the uncompressed data over the network in order to compress it, which would largely defeat the...

  • RE: wildcards

    darkhelmutis (9/11/2013)


    Maybe someone already pointed this out:

    The question in the email defines @i as:

    DECLARE @i TABLE( mychar VARCHAR(10));

    The question provided on the page where you provide an answer defines @i...

  • RE: wildcards

    L' Eomot Inversé (9/11/2013)I didn't bother to run the code when that turned out not to be the "correct" answer, what would be the point in doing that?

    I did that...

  • RE: wildcards

    Koen Verbeeck (9/11/2013)

    Indeed. As if I'm going to count the number of characters in Steppenwolf.

    Why not? I did, because I immediately thought the word looked too long for a 10-character...

  • RE: What does certification achieve?

    krowley (9/10/2013)

    But once again work experience is much easier to lie about than a certification. At least with the certification you have Something you can verify about a potential job...

  • RE: Are the posted questions getting worse?

    Stefan Krzywicki (9/10/2013)

    You're using a version that few people use. Most people stopped using that version when it changed itself to DBCC HAL9000.

    I did wonder what that "missing monolith" warning...

    SQLRNNR (9/10/2013)

    What are 3 of the required parameters for DBCC Timewarp?

    What are 7 of the optional parameters?

    This is a trick question, right? Everyone knows that DBCC TIMEWARP doesn't take any...

  • RE: What does certification achieve?

    I think the latest information to come out of Microsoft about the MCSM etc. cancellation shows precisely what Microsoft thinks their certifications are for--namely, they're there to help sell Microsoft...

  • RE: Are the posted questions getting worse?

    Koen Verbeeck (9/10/2013)

    Which means we have a 5 year anniversary coming up. Exciting!

    Doesn't it mean the thread goes to school soon and we have to tearfully wave it away from...

  • RE: A Hazard of Using the SQL Update Statement

    natalie.ignatieva (9/9/2013)

    I totally agree with you about that it's a feature and it's not a hazard.

    I would say it's entirely possible for it to be both. Yes, it's a feature,...

  • RE: Minimum Active Directory required for SQL Server 2012 Enterprise

    As far as I'm aware, no version of SQL server actually requires Active Directory at all in order to function--you can install them on a standalone server if you wish....

  • RE: Are the posted questions getting worse?

    Greg Edwards-268690 (9/3/2013)

    Generally, on 32 bit, no single process can use more than 2GB from what I remember.

    Depends. If the app has the LARGE_ADDRESS_AWARE flag set in its header, and...

  • RE: Are the posted questions getting worse?

    Jan Van der Eecken (9/2/2013)

    Not so sure about that. Yes, 64 bit Windows machines are able to run 32 bit versions of the same software, but they have to thunk...

  • RE: Global Configuration Settings

    Wow, did not expect that at all--why on earth would Microsoft make a system-level configuration procedure allow any old random garbage to work so long as it happens to be...
