  • RE: Working with dates

    How about something like this?:

    SELECT

    /*@date1 = */ last_friday,

    /*@date2 = */ DATEADD(DAY, -07, last_friday),

    /*@date3 = */ DATEADD(DAY, -14, last_friday),

    ...

    Interesting. I used a start-up proc to set the flag, so it was almost immediately on.

    It claims it does, but seems to work only under certain conditions.

  • RE: from query results I need to group distinct data that has records in common.

    Not a lot to go on, but I'll take a shot:

    SELECT col1, col2

    FROM dbo.tablename

    GROUP BY col1, col2

    HAVING COUNT(DISTINCT col1) = (SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT col1) FROM dbo.tablename)

  • RE: What are the questions should ask to the customer about the existing database?

    I would think that object name clashes would be a potential concern. If they occurred, resolving those could theoretically involve a LOT of work.

  • RE: Clustered Indexes

    Tables with fewer than eight pages can see increased fragmentation when rebuilt, because SQL may spread the table across more extents.

    Personally I don't like SQL's mixed extents, but I can't...

  • RE: May affect "CardinalityEstimate" in Plan Estimate - What would be the fix for this?

    I can't see the attachment (security issues).

    But in general you want to avoid using functions on columns, because it keeps SQL from using indexes (and likely stats) on that column.

  • RE: Help with table constraints

    Sorry, I mis-worded my response.

    I didn't see the need for the DealType in the Deals table, since it had its own table. Indeed, since its many-to-one, I don't how...

    Table 1: Deals (PK DealId)

    DealId int

    DealTypeId int

    DealId int

    DealFamilyId (computed persisted '1')

    Interesting. Thanks for the update.

    A little confusing though, not sure what's going on there then. Thought originally it might have just been a mismatched name because of the...

  • RE: Rename badly named index

    On my SQL 2005 version and my SQL 2008 versions, it accepts sp_rename for that index name:

    USE tempdb

    CREATE TABLE dbo.nasty_index_name_test ( c1 int )

    GO

    CREATE NONCLUSTERED INDEX [<Name of Missing Index,...

  • RE: Rename badly named index

    What do you mean "doesn't work"? It won't even initiate the rename process?

    If the tables have identity columns, you can use $IDENTITY as the column name.

  • RE: Rename badly named index

    You can rename an index through SSMS; just backspace over the old name, and type in the new one.
