  • RE: Make a select from three columns (with case expression)

    I suggest adding a computed column to the table to determine the value: then the definition is only one place, and is thus very easy to change everywhere:

    ALTER TABLE dbo.tablename...

  • RE: Searching Database tables for a specific value within a database field

    The code's not really ready to be used in dev or QA either.

    NO reason to search the same table multiple times, esp. not once per column.

    Instead, should do a single...

  • RE: Convert IP address to Binary (32)

    Here's T-SQL code to generate the full @decode_string:

    DECLARE @decode_string char(2055)

    ;WITH

    cteDigits AS (

    SELECT 0 AS digit UNION ALL SELECT 1 UNION ALL SELECT 2 UNION ALL SELECT...

  • RE: Convert IP address to Binary (32)

    The @decode_string needs a slight adjustment, moving the decode value for "255" to the end of the string.

    As there's really no need to recompute the string every time, let's just...

  • RE: Convert IP address to Binary (32)

    I don't think it's really that complex.

    I suggest a single lookup/"decode" string, with eight bytes per ip code; I'd also use a leading 7 "filler" 🙂 bytes, just to make...

  • RE: Rounding up

    ROUND(ISNULL ((SL2.Importe - SL2.Propina - SL2.ScAmt) -((SL2.Importe - SL2.Propina - SL2.ScAmt)/ 1.16),0), 2, 1) As ImpIVA, --the final ", 1" on the ROUND function "tells" it to truncate,...

  • RE: Rounding up

    SQL will automatically cast the result to the receiving data type; cast will automatically round.

    To prevent rounding, you can explicitly use the ROUND function yourself (kinda ironic):

    ROUND(ISNULL ((SL2.Importe - SL2.Propina...

  • RE: Dead Lock Question

    Turn on trace flag 1222:

    DBCC TRACEON ( 1222, -1 )

    Then when a deadlock occurs, SQL will put detailed info about the deadlock into the SQL error log.

    Rebooting will not help...

  • RE: Another Conversion Question of Text to Date

    rarascon (4/9/2013)


    One more thing, I did wind up having to add a new column, because as Sean mentioned the original column as varchar is always going to be a thorn...

  • RE: Another Conversion Question of Text to Date

    STUFF(TheDate, 3, 0, '/01')

    Would convert 'mm/yyyy' to 'mm/01/yyyy'. You could then use it as a date, either implicitly (somewhat risky) or explicitly, 100% safe but you have to use...

  • RE: Need Minimally Logged Operation to Cause Checkpoint!

    GilaMonster (4/5/2013)

    Any data modification that is minimally logged has to be written to the data file before the transaction completes

    I don't think that's true. If it is, it violates...

  • RE: how to delete my temp tables in batch?

    In SQL Server, temporary tables start with # or ##, such as #table or ##table.

    IIRC:

    SQL will automatically destroy # tables when the connection ends.

    For ## tables, under SQL 2005 and...

    You're vastly more likely to lose a single connection than have the entire instance go down, which would kill a temp table from that...
