Yep, agree with Paul. A web app backed by SQL Server is an example of multiplexing.

Gail's series, GRant's book, Craig Freedman's blog. all good places to learn about this.

As Gail says, time and place for everything.

Likely you need a combination of datepart (turns date into numbers) and then possibly a CAST.

You are multiplexing here. This is the same as a web server talking to users and only talking to SQL. Still the users are using SQL Server indirectly through a...

Jack is correct. The diff stores changes SINCE the full. So it doesn't have a baseline on which to work. A diff is used to reduce the number of log...

Change ANSI_PADDING, redo the trigger and then it should be OK.

My bet is a lot of what will come out of this is how to collect, manage, store, and anlalyze a tremendous amount of data.

You would use an UPDATE statement to change the data.

update tableB

set tableB.col = a.col

from tableA a

where TableB.othercol = a.othercol

The query syntax you have for SELECT would be...

There is no way you can get any level of code done that you're sure does this for US$395. Even at the cheapest rates you'd use way more than that...

Search for "cross tab" as well. That's what this is.

This looks like it will prevent deleting ONLY if there is a value of "1" in the Locked field. The row isn't necessarily locked.

also, this is an INSTEAD of trigger,...

Is there a restore operation occurring? It could be in STANDBY, which would allow read connections to it. You would need to remove those connections. Either tell people to disconnect...

I think it's a transient error. I know I got notified of a PM yesterday in email.

You can delete PMs, so the link isn't guaranteed to work. You can click...

Agree with you there. I was surprised to learn this, but I also wouldn't want my instance stopping because of tracing. The data is lost, perhaps there should be some...

An out-loud chuckle was heard in the office this morning. Very nice story!
