  • RE: Update/Insert Question

    Do you have some knowledge of what new stuff goes into Table A?

    Actually it doesn't matter. Do an update join on the tables using the PK. Anything that matches will...

  • RE: Invalid Pointer

    Rebuild the pacakge. I suspect something is corrupt. If you still get this, try it on another client station.

  • RE: Advise me the certification courses.....

    I've started seeing a few jobs in Denver asking for the MCDBA cert, but not many. I think this is mainly to limit the number of resumes from people.

    I...

  • RE: More Powerful Stored Procedure Code?

    Haven't heard that, but I did hear that Stored procedure can be written in VB.NET, C#.NET, etc. IMHO a bad idea. Fundamental differences between the languages (set v row based)....

  • RE: Case Statements

    Agree. There isn't a way to do this (other than dynamic sql, which I don't recommend). Besides, that's what CTRL-C, CTRL-V are for 🙂

  • RE: Oracle Vs SQL Server

    I tend to be biased towards SQL Server, but Antares has great points.

    Oracle is regarded as a more scalable and mission critical product. It has a better track record, but...

  • RE: Security

    Tough to audit everything. Lumigent provides a product that reads the logs, which will capture most of this if not all. You can also run profiler, but that will be...

  • RE: xp_startmail and switching profiles

    Haven't done that much work with Clusters, but I suspect the profile should be on both.

    I agree with Andy. Give CDO a shot and then start a thread here with...

  • RE: Coding Standards - Part 1

    I like things grouped and since procs are usually some sort of function, I use sp (no underscore) to group them initially, then I go by function (Ins, Upd, Del,...

  • RE: Reminiscing

    How else can you look back except from the future :).

    Actually it's not out on the site until the 23. The newsletter subscribers see it a little early, but there...

  • RE: Understanding Your Identity

    I agree with you and as I mentioned, it's probably not a bug.

  • RE: xp_startmail and switching profiles

    Tend to agree with Andy. Don't forget the SQL Mail is a subsystem added on to SQL Server. I'd be wary of switching profiles as you may cause instability on...

  • RE: NEWBEE to DTS - Basic questions..

    Rich,

    There are a few ways to do this, some easier than others. Partly depends on what access you have. If you can create and schedule or run DTS packages, then...

  • RE: xp_startmail and switching profiles

    Are the profiles on the active server? On both? I think you may have issues with the virtual server performing this switch.

  • RE: Understanding Your Identity

    You are welcome. Glad it caught some eyes, but I'm not sure it's a bug anymore. I tend to this this is by design to increase performance.
