User-Defined string Functions Transact-SQL

GETWORDCOUNT, GETWORDNUM, AT, RAT, OCCURS,CHRTRAN, STRFILTER, PADC, PADR, PADL, PROPER, RCHARINDEX etc. AT, PADL, PADR, CHRTRAN, PROPER are similar to functions Oracle PL/SQL INSTR, LPAD, RPAD, TRANSLATE, INITCAP. In my humble opinion, it will be convinient to apply such functions for writing of stored procedures and User-Defined Functions on Transact-SQL.

Change column collations back to database default

This script will create a single-line ALTER TABLE statement for each column in any table to change the collation to match the 'database default'. This is best accomplished in the Query Analyzer -- simply run the script, select all the records, and paste them into a new window to run them.
