  • RE: Figuring out NSF payments

    So, we had this issue at my previous company. Now, this database was refreshed nightly and not updated during the day... So this is a bit different. However,...

  • RE: SQL Server 2000 patching

    This is a 2008 forum. You will have better luck getting responses if you post to the proper forum.

  • RE: Replication Snapshot Error

    I have not seen this error, but logic tells me to remove the hint from the object. 🙂 Not sure if that counts as a work around or a solution.

  • RE: database upgrade

    What exactly are you referring to as "upgraded?" For example, when I restore a 2005 database to 2008, it will have a compatibility of 90 (2005) unless I change it.

  • RE: A Little String Separation

    No reason to use Jeff's splitter if the data format is constant:

    use tempdb

    go

    declare @test-2 varchar(125)

    SET @test-2 = 'barrington, il 60010-4020'

    SELECT RIGHT(@test, 10) AS zip, SUBSTRING(@test, CHARINDEX(',',@test)+2, 2) AS state, SUBSTRING(@test,...

    Look... I just want to say, and I am no expert, but it seems clear from all of my research and time spent on this forum that to improve performance...

  • RE: No More Transactional Replication with Updatable Subscriptions

    For those interested... It seems that they did not "deprecate" the feature of Transactional Replication with Updatable Subscriptions, but removed the option from the Wizard. You can still create...

    Perhaps Service Broker could be used. I would have to do some investigating to be sure, but it sounds like another viable alternative.


    Instead of a web application,...

    Sean is assuming that these constraints are defined as such. If they are not, it just takes a lot of testing... One of my favorite things to...

    Personally, I have never used any tools.

    I just downloaded Schema Surf to try it on AdventureWorks. I have to say it's very impressive, and much more...

  • RE: Unique key not null and Primary key ( Clustered Index)

    SQL Kiwi (5/23/2012)


    Lynn Pettis (5/23/2012)
