changing @@servername

  • What role does @@servername play other than jobs and probably maintence plans? What effect does the renaming of the server using sp_dropserver 'xxx' and sp_addserver 'xx1',local have? Does the serverproperty 'servername' change when you rename the server then reboot?

  • Heh... at least try to answer your own interview/homework questions. Look it up in Books Online. If you don't know what Books Online is, it's the free "help" system that comes with SQL Server.

    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.
