  • RE: Compressing Integers

    Interesting. However, the question doesn't actually say if those are one trillion different integers, or if there are repetitions. If there are one trillion different values, I doubt there will...

  • RE: Saving For Christmas

  • RE: Char with null

    Russell Shilling (1/10/2017)

    The

    isnull(left(@b,3),'I ô Char') as ba
