  • RE: Char with null

    The answer is clearly wrong. Some of these questions are really questionable.

    The

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

    will also return the string. The left function of @b-2 returns NULL.

  • RE: Parsing HTML to SQL using SQLDOM

    Here's the answer: On the server, running in a job, results were returned but were getting trucated at 512 characters. I needed to add one statement before calling the sproc...

  • RE: Parsing HTML to SQL using SQLDOM

    Suggestion: Change the spgetInitSession to create the temp tables and then execute user code. This avoids pasting (potentially changeable) SQLDOM code into user's procedures and neatly resolves the temp table...

    I'll put my bug report here, and thanks for the work on this!

    We're building a service business, and reliability and scalability are requirements, so we'll be deploying the production system to Azure.

  • RE: If you're confident about a change in your DB, triple check

    Dealing with CLR procedures is a black art. Be sure to document that so you will remember in a year, when one database is moved again!

    I run shrink on our Dev server after running lots and lots of queries to reduce the transaction log size (on disk). It's easy to grow a log file...

  • RE: Spring Cleaning

    Because we deal with health Care-related information, we never delete anything. My biggest DB is now about 20GB, growing 100MB per day.

    There is no "cleaning" option for us.

  • RE: Does this look like a SQL injection attack?

    MIJ (6/24/2008)


    I found this while running a Profiler trace and I'm trying to decide how worried I should be.

    Select sectionID, heading from ordered where virtualSectionID_p =
