    I'd pipe the output of the execute results task to a file and search it. This is probably the best technique, though your search routine may be cumbersome.

    I did a...

  • RE: Constraint Question

    Yikes, I hate triggers. If you must, Brian's suggestion is easier, but ift may come back to haunt you if the requirements change.

  • RE: Worst Practices - Not Using Primary Keys and Clustered Indexes

  • RE: Machine ID

    user_name will be unique IF your users do not share passwords or machines. host_name has nothing to do with it. I can hard code "awarren" in the host_name parameter for...

    insert #ReceiptsPhysical

    select 1, 'A', getdate()

    insert #ReceiptsPhysical

    select 2, 'B', getdate()

    insert...

  • RE: sp_executesql

    Apologies for not debugging the code, but it's quite a bit. If the text field auditing is a real problem, I'd look at the Lumigent product advertised on this site...

  • RE: Reporting Methods

    You don't have any real "ordering" in the Transact table. How can you determine the "opening balance". Wihtout some date or flag, this isn't really possible. Depending on natural order...
