Thanks for an easy, back to basics question.

If everything seems to be going well, you have obviously overlooked something.

Nice one.

But it's very hard to count the chars early in the morning. Luckily the string in b is not 31 or 32 characters long.

Nice "easy basics" question to start the week - thanks!

Counting that many similar characters is not that easy though!!!

I was expecting to see a 100% correct rate given that the same thing has appear a lot in QOTDs over the last few months - but currently just 60% so obviously bears repeating.

The moral as always is never to rely on default precision but always specify 🙂

A good question, in that if you knew the behaviour being asked about, then it was easy to pick the correct answer as there was no unnecessary obfuscation.

Thanks for the question, which was perfect for a Monday. I must admit I hesitated before clicking the correct answer. A few recent questions have made me see conspiracies everywhere. 🙂

Could have use LEN function. 😉

SELECT LEN('aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaabbbbbbbbb')

Notepad is OK, but I feel unfair to run a query or a part of it 🙂

It is upto you if you want to learn you can use in such cases where it is hard to count the characters (exactly 30 in b option) otherwise one can directly run the query in SSMS and check the output.

But I always use honesty is best policy to learn and test.:-)
