    I also enjoyed reading Phil Factor's article on CLR RegEx. A little scary that you can basically hang SQL Server with it though.

  • RE: Performance issue with tally solution

    [font="Verdana"]If you are building that translation for performance, I'd make one change:

    Use an array of 256 2-character strings with the hexadecimal encoding for each byte. So you will have...

  • RE: Performance issue with tally solution

    [font="Verdana"]I'd like to see Microsoft ship SQL Server with the RegEx stuff built in. I guess the whole "server crashing capability" is something they would need to resolve first.

    Architecturally...

    What do you like more C# or VB.Net?

    [font="Verdana"]For me personally I prefer C#. But you will probably find there's a bigger audience for VB. Really, either...

  • RE: There Must Be 15 Ways To Lose Your Cursors... part 1, Introduction

    [font="Verdana"]The quotes got a bit hairy, so I'm just going to reply with some points.

    Firstly, there are two Bruce's in this conversation! Eeek! :w00t:

    Secondly, comparing the use of...

    As I said, cross joining to sys.columns is more than just about thinking set-based. It is about using the system tables in a clever way. If a developer were...

    Evidently you're not supposed to spit water all over them while laughing. Who knew?

    [font="Verdana"]On another site I frequented, this was known as the "coke spew". You got...

  • RE: Question relating to TSQL Case WHEN

    [font="Verdana"]Based on some earlier comments, I suspect you are trying to do something like this:

    select [...]

    where a.filekey in (@filekey) and

    wasn't "thread" the stuff that fell on Pern, destroyed all life it encountered, and was only thwarted by fire breathing dragons?

    [font="Verdana"]Sure was! Their whole societal organisation was...

  • RE: Dreaming of Clouds

    [font="Verdana"]Sorry Steve. I'm going to reserve judgement. Most of it (to me) still seems to be pie in the sky dreaming. Yep, great to have something to...

    Using a cross join is not itself counter-intuitive. Using it in this fashion to generate a bunch of numbers probably is to most developers.

    I think that this is...

    Actually sounded like some of the deconstructionist stuff I used to have to read in film school. Lots of words, doesn't say much.

    [font="Verdana"]Mmm. "Indisputable validity... I...

    It wasn't on Simple-Talk on 4/1, was it?

    [font="Verdana"]Nope. Not another wunnerful article from Mr Hugh Bin Haad. This one purports to be serious. Personally I...

  • RE: scope_identity() strangeness

    [font="Verdana"]Have you tried something like the following:

    declare @t table(OrderID int not null);

    insert into tOrder(...)

    output OrderID into @t(OrderID)

    values (...);

    select top 1

    @intOrderID = OrderID

    from...

  • RE: scope_identity() strangeness

    [font="Verdana"]I suspect that scope_identity() is being checked inside the stored procedure doing the insert, not inside the trigger.

    Some code examples would help!
