    Parsers are allowed to cover other characters, that's case of IE and allows this result to be displayed.

    I knew about illegal XML characters, but I felt there was a trick...

  • RE: Backup\ Restore completion Status.

    Kari Suresh (5/19/2010)


    where and how we can use this? Anybody can explain with an example?

    For example, it may be very useful when a big transaction rolls back and you want...

  • RE: Backup\ Restore completion Status.

    Nice question.

    I answered wrong even after reading BOL. I definitely need to learn more about that dynamic views because they contain a lot of useful stuff.

    Maybe the word "job" is...

  • RE: INSTEAD OF trigger and OUTPUT clause

    tlewis-993411 (5/13/2010)


    I'm not sure why the following code works

    INSERT TestTable (string)

    OUTPUT inserted.*

    Doesn't the select return more columns (ID and String) than the insert list?

    When a row is inserted into a...

    in the explanation, it should be the string 'AnotherString' to be replaced with 'Stub', not 'TestString'

    You are right, thanks for the correction!

  • RE: INSTEAD OF trigger and OUTPUT clause

    Toreador (5/13/2010)


    Interesting - it never occurred to me that the identity values wouldn't be available in the inserted table!

    So how would you get the identity values of the rows you'd...

  • RE: Using IDENTITY as a key column

    Hugo Kornelis (4/22/2010)


    Do you think you can post a repro script that actually uses this operator? Have you ever seen it used in your code?

    Yes, sometimes I see this operator...

  • RE: what does the second @@error return?

    Lynn Pettis (4/26/2010)


    What is interesting is that approximately a third of the respondents have gotten the question wrong.

    I'm amongst that respondents because I haven't used @@error since 2006, and I've...

  • RE: Using IDENTITY as a key column

    If SQL Server had an auto-tune feature that automatically adds indexes it beliefs will benefit performance, than you would be right. But no current version of SQL Server...

  • RE: NULL

    "NULL does not mean NULL" – this option sounds very strange to me. The explanation says "it does not mean '' (empty string)". Should the first option be "empty string"...

    AFAIK SQRT, LOG and maybe POWER are the only things that return this error.

    I vote for this list: SQRT, LOG, LOG10, POWER,...

    vk-kirov (4/7/2010)


    Maybe because TRUNCATE manipulates metadata, not data? (It's my suggestion only)

    DOES truncate delete metadata??? (I am thinking no).

    You are right. TRUNCATE does not delete metadata, it manipulates...

  • RE: ANSI_NULLS

    Nice question.

    Maybe I read it too fast: "Select all...", I selected "ABCD", then pressed the "Submit" button. Oops, there was "...that apply" part 🙂

    It's interesting to explore the execution plans.

    Paul White NZ (4/6/2010)


    You posted that link and statement before!

    Oops... did I?.. :blush:
