  • RE: Returning a value from dynamic SQL?!

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

    Didn't you?

    Hope this helps

    I'm not aware of any tool able to convert your code from T-SQL to PL/SQL, I think you will have to do it manually.

  • RE: HowTo use PIVOT on Select in SQL Server 2005

    You can't use parameters declared outside the dynamic statement in the statement itself. You have to declare the params in the appropriate argument of sp_executesql. Example:

    declare @sql nvarchar(4000)

    declare @value nvarchar(50)

    set...

    won't that make the join results HUGE x n?

    No, if you just specify the columns you need. In that case results are smaller.

    This is a simple way.

    SET city = replace(city, 'ã', 'a'),

    country = replace(country, 'ã', 'a'),

    state = replace(state, 'ã', 'a')

    WHERE city LIKE '%ã%'

    declare @dbname sysname

    declare @dbsize dec(15,0)

    declare @bytesperpagedec(15,0)

  • RE: Locking a stored procedure for updating/reading

    Invert SELECT and UPDATE: you don't lock the row just reading, you have to write to put a lock.

    I think that missing indexes coming from DMV are just a hint to report something can be improved, but I would never create the indexes exactly how the DMV suggests....

  • RE: how to write query output into a text file?

    Select from the menu: Query, results to..., File.

    Ctrl+Shift+F is the shortcut for it.

    I think you picked the wrong post type anyway, this is not a poll.

    WayneS (7/16/2009)


    I find this theory interesting, since the columns that are in the where clause are not in the tables that are producing scans.

    It doesn't matter, the optimizer can choose...

  • RE: Having problem getting rid of index scan in procedure

    You can't. Or, at least, I don't know how you could.

    However, there may be any number of Employees.
