  • RE: Transparency from Cloud Based vendors

    I'm checking into the SLA. They are a SaaS vendor, but our main liason with the vendor agrees that we should be notified. Unfortunately it's a matter of changing their...

  • RE: Benefits

    Jack Corbett (8/17/2011)


    An HDHP + HSA isn't a bad deal right now.

    Great topic.

    My company has been largely insulated from the overall effects of the US economy, thanks in part to...

  • RE: Truncate and Delete

    Great question. There was a recent SSC article by Prashant Pandey[/url] that did an excellent job explaining the differences. So glad I read that!

  • RE: Push CSV data to SQL server 2008

    I think easiest way can depend on personal preference. Personally I would create an SSIS package and schedule that using SQL Agent in a job.

  • RE: Shared data sets

    Britt Cluff (8/12/2011)


    Darn, missed this one. Couldn't remeber if it was 2008 or 2008 R2 and guessed wrong. Thanks for the question.

    Ditto on this. Would love to see more SSRS...

  • RE: Grouped percentage in one pass

    Jason, thanks much for the help. I had tried something similar but didn't remember to remove the GROUP BY. Stupid me.

  • RE: What is faster, MAX() with GROUP BY, OR CTE with ROW_NUMBER()?

    I think the experts would say "It Depends"[/url]. I found this article by The Dixie Flatline to be extremely informative.

  • RE: Geeky Distractions

    Nevyn (7/29/2011)


    Patrick Rothfuss's books (The Name of the Wind and Wise Man's Fear) are excellent. But don't read them two fast as it will probably be about 5...

  • RE: Geeky Distractions

    I've always wanted to get into Doctor Who, but haven't found the time yet. My spouse and I recently caught up on Fringe, can't wait for the next season. Lately...

  • RE: Running Total Issue - ANything New On this Aside from Jeff Modens "Quirky Update"?

    Craig Farrell (6/30/2011)


    The Running Totals issue in SQL is that it's really a presentation layer thing, not a SQL thing, which is why it causes such issues.

    Craig, would you...

  • RE: Phrases that Resonate

    Terry Low-350996 (6/16/2011)


    "Databases only like two words....ALWAYS and NEVER"

    I think I will borrow that for the future. I've had a lot of "sometimes" requests for...

  • RE: How to insert row using another name

    Something like below?

    CREATE TABLE #table1

    (

    name varchar(10),

    dd int

    )

    INSERT INTO #table1

    SELECT 'Rack', 2 UNION ALL

    SELECT 'Rack', 4 UNION ALL

    SELECT 'Rack', 1 UNION ALL

    SELECT 'Rack', 33 UNION ALL

    SELECT 'Rack', 44

    INSERT INTO #table1

    SELECT 'Jenny',...

  • RE: Alternatives to using temp tables within OPENQUERY

    Pity. Well thanks for the confirmation. This just means I get to go back to the third party and push them to add proper indexes and whatnot to their DB....

  • RE: Alternatives to using temp tables within OPENQUERY

    Hi ricer. Yes, I did. But because RPC is not enabled, it does not work.

    Msg 7411, Level 16, State 1, Line 1

    Server [linkedservername] is not configured for RPC.

    Edited to remove...

  • RE: Output old/new values of a column from an audit table
