Modified sp_who - more info & extra parameter

This procedure, sp_who3, is based on the system-supplied sp_who2, but is modified to return the actual text of the commands executed by each spid.  Very helpful for troubleshooting!  In addition, I have added a @hostname parameter to allow the user the option of viewing activity originating from only one computer, if desired.

IsWorkday UDF without a table

While the other methods for calculating holidays ect use a table to store the holidays, this inline UDF goes the opposite route, by returning 1 if the given date is a weekday that also does not fall on a number of holidays.  Examples shown allow for easy extension to other holidays as deemed necessary.

Question of the Day

The string_agg function

We create the following table and then insert some records in it:

create table t1 (
   id int primary key,
   category char(1) not null,
   product varchar(50)
);

insert into t1 values
(1, 'A', 'Product 1'),
(2, 'A', 'Product 2'),
(3, 'A', 'Product 3'),
(4, 'B', 'Product 4'),
(5, 'B', 'Product 5');
What happens if we execute the following query in both Sql Server and PostgreSQL?
select id, 
category, 
string_agg(product, ';')
                 over (partition by category order by id
                 rows between unbounded preceding and unbounded following) as stragg
from t1;
