The correct answer is "It Depends" on which version of SQL Server you're using. 😉

--Jeff Moden

RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.

When not explicitly mentioned, the last version that is publicly available.

That's the exact thought process I went through. Then it became pretty simple.

Thanks for the question. It's not something I've used.

Well, since that is a CTP, things could change any day. 😉

Heh... yeah... I know that but let's just suppose that they make another change in the future where the correct answer for the current "latest version" is no longer the correct answer for the question. I think that all these questions should have the version of SQL appropriate for the question be listed in the question.

You can always tie the question to the publicly available version by date - after all, it is a question of the day. That also implies that the version should always be specified for previews.

This point may eventually become confusing if MSFT extends the "software as a service" model to SQLS and you will deal with - perish the thought - a continuously updated SQL Server 365.

Thanks to Steve for the question and to everyone for the discussion!

It would be a whole lot easier if people would just put the version number on their questions. "Version: 2014 EE". How hard is that?

Shifting gears a bit, just imagine if SQL Server were continuously updated. Instead of the occasion significant and well publicized bombs like 2014 SP1, there would be daily knife cuts to the very fabric of your business. Imagine trying to troubleshoot such a thing. No thank you!

Easy question as the possibilty to add/remove members to database roles was introduced in SQL Server 2012. So the question about the version is useless as ( if I am not going wrong ) I usually am replying with my knowlegdes concerning the supported versions ( 2012/2014 ).

2016 is only in CTP state and when the question is related to this version , I am considering only the last available level of the CTP.
