  • RE: Transact-SQL Syntax Conventions

    g.maxfield (8/7/2015)


    Sorry but I think the question was misleading/unclear. All were valid Object Reference Format of object names.

    I don't agree with you. The examples you provided are valid, but...

  • RE: Insert without a PK

    For me the first insert worked, and the second failed with a constraint error. However my indexes were not disabled.

    So I choose the most matching answer, but that was incorrect....

  • RE: Try Catch Throw

    BWFC (5/26/2015)


    Did I miss something when I only selected one answer and got it wrong because two were required?

    Yes, the second part of the correct answer. 😀

  • RE: CHECK Constraints vs NULL values

    Good question. Learned something here.

    Expected the UNKNOWN to result in a constraint violation.

  • RE: SSMS or SSDT

    I am using both SSDT and SSMS. I am doing database maintenance and development.

    Since a few years I started to use the Data Dude components for all our projects. In...

  • RE: SQL Jobs

    Stewart "Arturius" Campbell (3/26/2015)


    If there is a Syntax error in the script to create a job, the job will not be created.

    Correct, so in that case you can't run the...

  • RE: SQL Jobs

    I have to agree with the others: this is a badly worded QOTD and it has an incorrect answer too.

    The answer should be yes.

    Please correct the answer and give everyone...

  • RE: Powershell parameters

    Jeff Moden (2/6/2015)


    Heh... for me, the correct answer isn't available, which is "Don't worry about it because if it's to do something in SQL, then it's likely that you're using...

  • RE: NULL Aggregates

    I choose GROUPING, and still think it is the correct answer.

    As others already said COUNT only doesn't ignore NULLs when used with the *. But * is not a...

  • RE: Unpivot

    0 points out of 2. Will try to select an incorrect answer tomorrow to see if I get a point. 😛

  • RE: Create a stored procedure

    Agree with the others that "none of the above" the correct answer is.

    In fact the correct answer should have been "none of the above and below", since there was...

  • RE: Columnstore changes

    marsigme (10/7/2014)


    Got tripped up with this note in the Data Compression article <http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc280449.aspx&gt;.

    To add archival compression, use ALTER TABLE (Transact-SQL) or ALTER INDEX (Transact-SQL) with the REBUILD...

  • RE: How many rows will be returned?

    Carlo Romagnano (9/23/2014)


    Triggers on tables execute only if at least ONE row is affected. So, explanation is wrong.

    Hi Carlo,

    you are wrong in your assumption. And I guess the idea behind...

  • RE: Practical Uses for Synonyms in SQL Server

    Not a fan of synonyms. They should only be used when you have a real need, and I don't know what that would be.

    "Simplify object names" is according to me...

  • RE: Merge Targets

    Selected, as the most of us, the wrong correct answer.

    Guess Steve was anticipating already the more complex MERGE question using a <target_table> option... 😀
