  • RE: Table Variable

    Very good question. Thanks.

  • RE: Index types 2

    Thanks for the question. Couldn't get it right even with researching it!

  • RE: Using Sparse Columns with SELECT ... INTO

    Never used sparse columns in my SQL experience, do any developers here use them frequently?

    I have never used them and am not sure I understand their true applicability.

  • RE: Using Sparse Columns with SELECT ... INTO

    This was a great question. Had to do a lot of research, since I was not familiar with SPARSE, to get this one right.

  • RE: ISDATE

    Great question Lokesh. And thanks to Hugo and others for additional education on the subject.

  • RE: Working on stored procedures

    Nice clear question. Good start to the week.

  • RE: Check status of SPN?

    Not familiar with SPN but the question got me to look it up. Thanks.

  • RE: concatenation

    Try this one: SELECT 1+'130'+'120'+1. It comes up 252! Implicit conversion are very dangerous.

  • RE: concatenation

    Good question. Need to remember the basics.

  • RE: Basic of T-SQL

    Got it right so I'm not complaining but I agree that there is room for error if there were other choices for the answer.

  • RE: T-SQL Syntax

    I agree. Not a good QotD. This should bring lots of discussion though and is very educational.
