  • RE: Backing Up SQL Server Databases is Easier in PowerShell than T-SQL

    Out-Gridview -PassThru is very interesting. Definitely a consideration for some of my scripts 🙂 Even I don't use the back up solution, I've definitely learned something today.

    I almost wonder if the Format menu should be always displayed, rather than only when you hover over.

  • RE: SSRS Multiple Tablix -- Display Only One Result Set.

    If you're using two tablixes, you could set them to be hidden depending on the parameter value.
    For example, if the tablix for 5 could have a hidden expression value...

  • RE: Conver varchar date to date only

    Eirikur Eiriksson (1/11/2017)


    Suggest you read up on the CONVERT function!

    😎

    Example

    DECLARE @DSTR VARCHAR(50) = '20151025'; -- ISO FORMAT

    SELECT CONVERT(VARCHAR(30),CONVERT(DATE,@DSTR,112),101) -- US OUTPUT

    The only problem I have with the convert function is...

  • RE: Conver varchar date to date only

    DECLARE @Date VARCHAR(10);

    SET @Date = '20151025';

    --Assuming format is always yyyyMMdd

    SELECT CAST(LEFT(@Date, 4) + '-' + LEFT(RIGHT(@Date,4),2) + '-' + RIGHT(@Date,2) AS DATE);

    You should change the format of the date, for...

  • RE: split one column into two based on numbers (NOT PIVOT)

    How do we determine how these value should be paired?

    In your example you had:

    14522345 30245123

    Why not any of these?

    14522345 31451831

    14522345 32452632

    14522345 31458142

    What's the logic there?

    I think you may be doing the DBA community a mis-service.

    I wasn't intending any mis-service, apologies if it seemed that way.
