    AZ Pete (8/15/2014)

    A unique constraint cannot be implemented since the combination of LocationId and ExternalId must be unique only for the cases when ExernalId is not null. There can be...

    You should be able to create a DDL trigger to prevent database renames, at least through ALTER DATABASE. I hope sp_renamedb would get caught as well, but I haven't...

    this is the latest syntax error:

  • RE: passing parameters to stored procedure through OPENQUERY

    I don't believe you can use varchar(max) across linked servers; try varchar(8000).

  • RE: passing parameters to stored procedure through OPENQUERY

    You don't want quotes around the variable names, just the values, if they are not numeric:

    SELECT * FROM OPENQUERY ([10.100.1.1], 'exec mydb.dbo.mysp @p1=''mytable'', @p2=0.0025,@p3 =''3476,6673,3321''')

  • RE: passing parameters to stored procedure through OPENQUERY

    That looks fine, unless you're trying to reference the return values, in which case you need to add an alias after the OPENQUERY(...) AS alias_name.

  • RE: Need help to design table which is can store Education Requirement for the Job Vacancy

    As to the current design, I'd make these comments:

    CVEducation

    InstituteName should 100% be normalized out to another table.

    DegreeName should 98% be normalized out to another table.

    Maybe SponsorID should be in a...

    Yes, it's true.

    If absolutely necessary, create a nonclustered index(es) on the GUID(s).

  • RE: Difference in CDC vs Trigger

    If Change Tracking is enough for what you need it, use it, as it's less overhead than either CDC or a trigger. And it doesn't require Enterprise Edition.
