  • RE: Who's going to SQL Bits in Liverpool?

    I'll be there sometime Thur. Fly in late Wed to LHR and stay there, then try to make my way up. Thought about flying, but not great times/flights up, so...

    Eric M Russell (4/26/2016)


    Post the SHA2_256 hash of any validly formatted plaintext SSN (ie: any code conforming to 999-99-9999), and I'll reply back with the un-hashed plaintext SSN number.

    For example...

    I will never need to decrypt the SSN, but I will need to add/remove ones as personnel are hired/terminated.

    In that case, don't...

    I will never need to decrypt the SSN, but I will need to add/remove ones as personnel are hired/terminated.

    In that case, don't look at encryption. Just hash...

    you have a car? I thought everyone in the UK just used trains.

    Trains? UK rail fares are by far...

  • RE: A Call for Articles

    Very true, and it's on the list. I just logged a ticket for generic code (PoSh, Python, etc)

  • RE: db_backupoperator can't back up database

    wow, deny to public. That would have been low, low on my list.

    Good catch, Brandie.

    Phil Parkin (4/26/2016)


    As a general rule, it's better to put IsNulls inside Sums rather than outside. This avoids the warning message about NULL values being eliminated:
