    NULLIF((EVT.VAL2), 0)

    Maybe I'm just missing something here, but how can the above EVER return a zero?

  • RE: Filling gaps in date ranges

    doesn't everything in sql server? 😉

    Still trying to figure out what the use-case for multi-statement table-valued user-defined functions is. But, other than...

  • RE: Simple arithmetic

    i saw lots of people on social sites having problems with:

    1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1x0+1 = ?

    most of the answers was 1. So saying Simple may apply differently to others :hehe:

  • RE: evidently confused on temp table scope

    I would suggest that if your procedure is so complicated you need to step through it you can probably gain a lot by simplifying your code. Often times what I...

  • RE: Fun with XOR #1

    SELECT @a =...

    There are good use cases for bitwise logic in SQL Server. This is not one of them.
