  • RE: Any potential issues with putting a Stored Procedure in Master?

    You could easily use master for that. Especially given that you must use master for some procedures anyway. Moreover, it's much easier from SQL2005 on to distinguish your...

  • RE: Query - Please Help!

    sp_MSforeachdb is indeed a cursor, and not a particularly good one.

    Still, it exists, and it's useful for quick-and-dirty tasks sometimes, particularly if you don't have a lot of dbs.

    So, I'll...

    And, finally, you don't really need SUBSTRING, LEFT is good enough :-):

  • RE: Only allow users to see their own records

    I wouldn't try using views, as then the table/view name changes every time, so you're forced to use dynamic SQL, which causes additional security headaches.

    Instead, I suggest creating a controller...

    Your stated incrementation method is so unusual and customized that I'd suggest just creating table with pre-generated key values; and, when you need to increment by one, instead of...
