This script is a fix to the "Script to determine if all chars are same in field"
posted by Harvard Kinkead (hneal_98) .
That script doesn't handle strings with trailing spaces (e.g. set @repeat = 'bbbb ')
It happens because of the nature of Len function.
To bypass this limitation my script concatenates one character to tested string and then takes it into account in length evaluation.
If the length is 1 then true, else false.
Declare @repeat varchar(255) set @repeat = 'bbbb ' select Repeat= case when len( REPLACE(@repeat+'x',substring (@repeat+'x',2,1),'')) = 1 then 'True' else 'False' end

I have always read that 8060 bytes is the maximum size. This is stated over and over again in Books Online, the MS site and numerous other sites, including this one. However a post in our forum recently questioned this. I decided to verify the problem and do a little research.

The User_Defined_Functions.exe file contains the User-Defined Functions white paper. The User-Defined functions white paper outlines the characteristics of the new user-defined function (UDF) feature that is introduced in Microsoft SQL Server 2000. The white paper also summarizes how you can create your own Transact-SQL functions to extend the programmability of Transact-SQL.

The following stored procedure will demonstrate the use of cursor metadata. Using cursor metadata we can get information about an SQL statement and use that information to dynamically generate other code such as HTML or other stored procedures.

ne of the issues you face when building Web applications is handling the errors you encounter when interacting with a back-end database. I was recently working with someone to create a new Web site with SQL Server™, ActiveX® Data Objects (ADO), and ASP. Lots of little things came up that I thought were worth sharing with MIND readers, so I'll focus this column on what I learned from this experience and the solutions to many of the problems I faced.
