OK, so I suppose this doesn't look strange to anyone but me.

Thanks for your answers, bc

Try this:

Right Join it to a tally table and then remove groups for NULLs in an outer query.

Once again this is obvious...

I'm sorry, maybe I'm not able to pose my question clearly enough:

1) Why don't insert statements fail even if I try to insert 3 values in...

Yes, this is obvious.

What's less obvious is why no error is raised when insert list contains more items than the select list.

I would have expected any insert to fail...

I see that your groups are repeating with different ranges, so I guess you need groups of all consecutive values with MIN and MAX, right?

Can you post the query you...

You should have a line in your script such as:

Set someVariableName = createObject("ADODB.Connection")

That "someVariableName" is your connection object.

At some point in the script you should have something like:

Try using a tool such as OSQL.EXE to test connectivity from the client machine you are running...

DECLARE @buffer TABLE (

EventType nvarchar(30),

Parameters int,

EventInfo nvarchar(4000)

)

INSERT @buffer

EXEC sp_executesql N'DBCC INPUTBUFFER(@@spid) WITH NO_INFOMSGS'

SELECT @SQLBuffer = EventInfo

FROM @buffer

To get a better control on how query is executed on the remote server, I suggest you use OPENQUERY instead of the four-part name syntax. What you put in the...

I suggest you put a trigger for delete and capture as much information as possibile on the delete command and put the results in an auditing table.

Just a hint to...

I received all email notifications during the weekend, but there's been very few posts.

I don't think this means something like "Are the posted questions getting BETTER?"

Should I start a new...

Looks like you declare @sql of type varchar rather than nvarchar.

Didn't you?

Hope this helps
