  • RE: What will the results be for the code below?

    Hm, am I the only one who thinks the given answer is false?

    According to it, there will be a "type conversion". But instead there is only a "type conversion error"....

  • RE: Enable Broker Service

    <nitpick mode="on" />

    I would issue a simple ALTER DATABASE db2 SET ENABLE_BROKER, since noone said that the broker service had already been enabled in db1

    <nitpick mode="off" />

    Ok, common sense told...

  • RE: Variable Array Table

    Hugo Kornelis (10/12/2010)


    The short explanation is that, within a [delimited identifier], you have to double the ] to get a single ] character.

    Ah, that makes sense... Well, it doesn't completely,...

  • RE: Variable Array Table

    Got it wrong - did not see the final closing square bracket.

    But what "stuns" me is the fact that SQL Server does not deal correctly with this object name.

    Looks...

  • RE: Clustered Indexes

    No Problem Hugo. I was not that clear in my first post, so I can see where you were coming from. And that just emphasizes how important it is to...

  • RE: Clustered Indexes

    Hi Hugo,

    In your explanation you have switched from order of rows accross pages to order of pages.

    I have not meant that a physical order is imposed on the pages. I...

  • RE: Clustered Indexes

    GilaMonster (10/5/2010)


    True, but that new page is not necessarily physically located after the existing page.

    Agreed. The rows are physically ordered within the "page universe"*, but not the pages themselves

    *and...

  • RE: Clustered Indexes

    I am not satisfied with the answer, indeed I find it very misleading.

    As data is inserted or the clustering key values are updated, SQL Server only preserves logical ordering of...

  • RE: Creating indexes on computed columns

    Hi Steve,

    Steve Eckhart (9/30/2010)


    Actually, if you read carefully, an index on a computed column CAN include multiple rows and columns from other tables.

    Can you give an example of multiple...

  • RE: Creating indexes on computed columns

    The first answer (All functions that are referenced by the expression are deterministic and precise.) is incorrect as well. As long as the column is persisted, imprecise functions can be...

  • RE: Design

    UMG Developer (9/23/2010)


    In addition the OrderNo column is NOT an identifier because it does not have a constraint defined on it to prevent duplicate values, or at least the DDL...

  • RE: Inside the Optimizer: Constructing a Plan - Part 4

    You already told us, you stole from your own blog 😛

    But as an honest guess, I think you were just exploring SQL Server, and eventually found the DMV for the...

  • RE: Inside the Optimizer: Constructing a Plan - Part 4

    This is really great stuff... As already mentioned a few times by others, 5 stars aint enough for this series...

    Edit: The link back to the article from the forum actually...

  • RE: Page/Row Compression

    Oleg Netchaev (9/3/2010)


    Hugo Kornelis (9/3/2010)


    - Restore and backup:

    You could argue that this is simply copying pages from one place to another. What is on the page is irrelevant. The internal...

  • RE: Round up or down III

    Very good as usual:)
