You'd have to examine the execution plans but my hunch would be just put them in the view.

I'm with Jack. #2 is easier to read, but I'd suspect that #1 works better.

What are the errors? The script looks OK here. Conversion errors usually mean you're not extracting the data correctly.

If you had the rights, and could dbcc inputbuffer your SPID, that might work. But it doesn't always get you everything.

What are you trying to accomplish here? Figure out where...

I'm not sure what you mean. Do you mean you need both conditions? Or update if either is there?

The Microsoft classes are geared towards teaching the exam, not getting you better at strong skills.

Really you need one of a few things. A custom class from End to End...

Profiler/SQL Trace is really your only choice here. Set up a trace to capture stuff hitting the table.

Closing this thread as it's drifting a bit.

Please post requests in the appropriate forum.

I like identities, especially for something like this. A multi-page form, where you'll like to store the data after each page in case the session breaks and they need to...

CDATE isn't a valid T-SQL function, it's ASP.

How is the ASP syntax structured?

Usually you'd do something like

strCMD = "SELECT dbo_CallLog.CallID AS Ticket, dbo_CallLog.Category, dbo_CallLog.CallDesc, dbo_Asgnmnt.Notes, " + CDate((dbo_Asgnmnt!DTLastMod/60/60/24)+25569)+

" AS...

1,2,3,4

Those are characters if you delimit them. SQL doesn't recognize arrays or delimited strings as a set of numbers. It's a character string.

Or just leave the log size larger. It's obviously needed for the operation and a larger log doesn't affect the way your system runs (other than needing disk space).

I'm not...

I thought it was an interesting story about how easy it is to overlook something. It's good to be reminded regularly that indexes matter and that new features, like CTEs,...
