  • RE: Are the posted questions getting worse?

    Sioban Krzywicki (1/21/2015)


    The question is if I can get my name changed on the articles I've written here. : -)

    Sure thing. I think if you change your author name, it...

  • RE: Prevent sp_ Procedures with SQLCop

    I don't like those naming conventions because they can change. Imagine someone says create PO numbers. You do intPO or something. Then a year down the road you find you...

  • RE: How to sum and group data

    It would be good to see something like:

    Original data

    Cust Year Period FLIGHTHRSSUM LATEFEESUM EXCHFEESUM

    ----- ---- ------ ------------ ---------- ----------

    A 2015 1 ...

  • RE: Setup SQL Server on Amazon RDS

    In terms of moving data, I know this link is Azure, but I'd think some of this would be similar in Amazon. I'll have to try it at some point:...

  • RE: Where Microsoft went wrong with SQL CLR

    I tend to agree with Solomon here. The .NET tools are widely known, though perhaps not by DBAs. This is advanced tooling, and rather than have MS build something else,...

  • RE: The Cost of Switching

    For those of you concerned about costs, if you paid by the CPU/RAM instead of standard/enterprise, would that work?

    Let's say that it was something like $800/core and $100/8GB of RAM....

  • RE: The Cost of Switching

    Eric M Russell (1/20/2015)


    I'm sure the folks in Microsofts accounting department took Econ 101 while in university. If enterprise level customers keep switching to other database platforms primarily on the...

  • RE: SQL Scripts addin

    Hmmm, nothing we have set up for a discussion, but probably need it. I know it's working in 2012 (just tested). Will fire up a VM and check 2014.

    Which version...

  • RE: The Cost of Switching

    david.gugg (1/20/2015)


    We're on 2008 R2 Enterprise at my shop and we've cancelled plans to upgrade to 2012 because of the costs. Once Microsoft stops supporting 2008 R2 I believe...

  • RE: Prevent sp_ Procedures with SQLCop

    If you start to extend this to lots of potential items, then a trigger grows to slow things, or cause issues. A trigger might work in production, but potentially if...

  • RE: SQL Prompt Tip #6 - Insert Semicolons

    Michael Meierruth (1/20/2015)


    Had a good laugh 😀 watching you and Grant performing those competitions showing who can type fasted - with or without SQL Prompt at http://www.red-gate.com/products/sql-development/sql-prompt.

  • RE: The Identity Limit

    Apologies. Not sure why I had numeric as 17 and not 38 for the scale.

    Points awarded back, answers changed.

  • RE: Using GetDate() between two dates

    In T-SQL, you'd use dateadd, with getdate() like this:

    dateadd(dd, -1, getdate())

    to get yesterday. In SSIS, if you are doing this, you'd use the Expression language, it's slightly different.

    DATEADD("dd", -10,...

  • RE: Taking Care of Things Today

    Megistal (1/19/2015)


    Steve, if you want to get more time for something else (or just getting plain lazy), automate stuff 😀

    😛

  • RE: How to check connection to an sql server without ssms tools (Example : from web server)

    I'd tend to use odbc/ado/oledb to try a connection from code and see if it works.

    If you're debugging manually, copy sqlcmd.exe over there and run it.
