    I will get a false 1 since the modifieddate will always be larger than the ClosedField that has a NULL.

    How can I tell it when the DateClosed field is...

  • RE: calculating a date in the future

    Perfect Mr. Scott.

    Indeed, the same day of week has to be the same, mandatory.

    PS: When you say "So, adding 6 mos gives a date of '2014-11-05', which becomes '2014-11-11',...

    None of that is necessary: a simple calculation can give you the future date you need.

    Safer might be:

    Unless you really want "alphabetic" rather than "non-numeric" as originally stated. Spaces, underscores, periods, etc., would fail this test but pass the other one...

    ScottPletcher,

  • RE: Sp runs from 7 sec to 10 min (UnitPricingTrans)

    I think the clustered index should be ( accounting_period ) or, if you prefer, ( accounting_period, prj_code ) rather than the other way around. I don't think phase_code needs...

    Please post the DDL, including all indexes, for the "prj_detail" table.

    If the clustered index is on an identity column, you should almost certainly change it to "accounting_period" instead. This...

  • RE: A trigger prevent user from update/delete a user login

    Instead of DDL_LOGIN_EVENTS, you can use DDL_SERVER_SECURITY_EVENTS, which covers a much wider range of statements. See BOL, "DDL Event Groups" for more details.
