    Here's something more detailed. Btw, I avoided using I_S.SCHEMATA for the schema names because of the associated warnings in Books Online -- it's best to avoid using I_S views...

    And you think that solution isn't implicitly using cursors?

  • RE: Help with Triggers

    SQL Server triggers only fire once per statement, no matter how many rows are INSERTed or UPDATEd (or DELETEd).

    Therefore, it's not safe to use variables to get column data (unless...

    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:

  • 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.

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

  • 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):
