  • RE: IDENTITY

    Good question. Thanks Igor.

    If you want numbers for your records in a SELECT, why not use:

    ROW_NUMBER ( ) OVER ( <partition_by_clause> <order_by_clause> )

    in the query?

  • RE: The Model Database

    Isn't this a repeat of the question Steve posted 02/22/2012?? (Or at least the first part of Steve's question.)

  • RE: Valentines Day

    BWFC (2/14/2014)

    david.wright-948385 (2/12/2014)

    Exactly. IMHO, this goes for general query layout too.

    My old boss thought I was being too neat when I put each join criteria on a separate line and each...

  • RE: Big Data Comes to Hiring

    Doctor Who 2 (2/3/2014)

  • RE: Analysis Services Multidimensional

    Two out of three from a pdf file I downloaded from Microsoft. Good question. But a little rough for a Monday after I drank 4 sodas (high fructose corn syrup!)...

  • RE: Big Data Comes to Hiring

  • RE: Finding “Active” Rows for the Previous Month (SQL Spackle)

    When I went to review this spackle, I found the current rating was "Good". Can't agree. Jeff has, as usual, taken a problem of some import, broken it down into...

  • RE: Software Patents

    Michael Meierruth (1/30/2014)


    I suppose Amazon's 1-click technology is more of an idea and cute name than a technology. And maybe Amazon really wants to hold on to that term '1-click'...

  • RE: Stairway to T-SQL Part 2: Beyond T-SQL Basics: Level 2: Writing Subqueries
