    Option 1 works only if you replace the {} with [] as follows:

    True, dat! So, we're down to the missing alternative of "None", I suppose...

    Option 1 may well work, but in this instance, it's renaming the wrong field so is wrong for the question posted.

    Option one should work, shouldn't it, since it sets the name of all the columns, but uses the old name...

    I thought I wouldn't touch this question until it's been reviewed, but I couldn't resist.

    Clearly, option 3 wouldn't work, since the original column name is "BillingAmount", and not "BillAmount". In...

  • Reply To: ISNULL vs COALESCE

    Good question!

    This is the main reason I avoid ISNULL, if possible.

    Another aspect is the nullability of the result. ISNULL will infer that from the nullability of the second argument, whereas...

  • Reply To: Getting the time

    Well, then. Eventually, your answer might be re-flagged.
