  • RE: Expert Thoughts

    I'm not completely clear what you mean here or need to accomplish?

    Are you and the client both loading files separately? Do you need to create a file for them? Or...

  • RE: Maintenance Plan DB Backups to a UNC using a DNS alias failing

    Are you using a FQDN in there for the alias?

  • RE: Brain on Strike, I need help!

    Are you trying to build up the select statement with IFs? Can a CASE work

    CASE when @home = home

    then a.xxx

    Or are you trying to build dynamic SQL? Honestly...

  • RE: The 'Last' Lecture

    It's good you find some inspiration from Randy, but I wouldn't pity yourself. Move forward, look to make changes, and look to make life better where and when you can.

    Take...

  • RE: UK Cultures

    Protein bar, coffee and water here. Had to take a large supply of bars to the UK last year. Had a hard time finding them.

    I struggled with breakfast. Lots of...

  • RE: TOP and TABLESAMPLE

    As an FYI, I'm not upset about the complaints. I completely understand how it looks from your side and I apologize.

    The engine is built to show...

  • RE: Stored Procedures Reconsidered

    Scott,

    Thanks for the editorial and it's provoked an interesting debate.

    I wasn't sure what people would say, and I don't completely disagree with Scott's arguments, but I don't think they're great....

  • RE: The July Car Update (2008)

  • RE: Bug inside my Shrink DB script

    Closing the thread on this one. I don't see anyone being rude except the OP and no racism.

  • RE: The July Car Update (2008)

    I found this: http://heyna.wordpress.com/2008/06/12/my-prius-battery/

    Also, on Prius Chat I saw that depending on the generation of the car (1-3) it seems to be as low as $2500, as high as $5k....

  • RE: Substring gives error

    You need to break out each part of the substring (len, charindex, etc) and see what values they are returning. That will help you find the error.

  • RE: Controlling log file growth without limiting size

    As mentioned above, DO NOT SHRINK the database or log file. It's unnecessary.
