    For efficiency, try this. It is also easy to extend this to include/exclude multiple ingredients.

    FROM (

    I always find it scary that anyone (including myself :-)) is doing direct SQL to "fix" individual records. There are too many ways that a malformed statement...

  • RE: Average of time between multiple dates

    You don't really need a subquery here.

  • RE: DB development standards question

    Ed Wagner (10/6/2015)


    I like the convention child_parent_PK

    Where:

    child = Name of the table with the foreign key

    parent = Name of the table with the primary key being referred to

    _PK = constant

  • RE: DB development standards question

    I prefer:

    tablename__xx_name[&name]|description

    where xx is:

    PK | CL | IX | CK (check) | TR (trigger) | etc.

    Sometimes a column name(s) are not really right and a description is better, such as...

    Yes, this is a good situation for shrinking a file.

    You might first want to rebuild large table(s), esp. if you can rebuild ONLINE.

    Thanks for your reply

  • RE: IDENT_SEED to Find the Seed?

    It looks like you need

    SELECT IDENT_CURRENT('dbo.tablename')

    rather than IDENT_SEED.

    I think this might do it, if I understand correctly what you need:

    Can we see the actual code you used to do the split and column assignment? Maybe there is something there.
