  • RE: SQL Server Service won't Start After adding server to domain

    I've run into the "unable to open E:\..." error when installing SQL Express on a domain controller, and the only way I found to fix it was to specify that...

  • RE: Binary Compare

    crmitchell (5/17/2016)

    With SQL going to be supported on Linux in the future this may become a lot more complicated as you may need to start considering whether you are running...

  • RE: A Lifetime of Software

    roger.plowman (5/10/2016)

    And when you retire and look back on your career, your victories will be yours, your failures will be yours, and no one else will ever know what you...

  • RE: ExecuteNonQuery

    TomThomson (12/11/2015)

    It's a pity that the result value -1 is used for three different things: (i) errors (ii) no rows were affected and (iii) no rowcounts were returned (ROWCOUNT...

  • RE: ExecuteNonQuery

    sknox (12/10/2015)

    Well, a query is a question, which implies an answer.

    So "NonQuery" implies you never asked the question in the first place, which is exactly the point I was making....

  • RE: ExecuteNonQuery

    Always thought this is a rather badly named function--ExecuteNonResults would be better, IMHO. ExecuteNonQuery implies it's not actually going to run the query, to my mind.

  • RE: Filestream filegroups

    Rune Bivrin (11/25/2015)


    Where can I buy SQL Server 2015?:hehe:

    It's only available on November 31st, so you'll have to be quick. 🙂

  • RE: Which gives the greatest points?

    Toreador (10/30/2015)

    Only if you take TRY_CONVERT to mean the Try and the Try Conversion.

    I take it to mean just the Try Conversion (so 2 points).

    Exactly as I did, clearly this...

  • RE: To view or not to view, that is the question.

    Well, I knew something would go wrong with the view, but apparently not the specifics of how it would go wrong. Means I learned something, which is always a plus.

  • RE: More wildcard searches

    saurabhsharmadcsa (10/28/2015)


    Correct Answer for this question is the query would return 3 rows

    No it isn't, because the default collation for a SQL server install is for a...

  • RE: More wildcard searches

    Looks like there's sometimes an advantage to SQL Server Central e-mails getting stuck for hours in our spam filter, it means I missed all this and got given the correct...

  • RE: Filetable Trivia

    I misinterpreted the subdirectory question--I thought it meant you couldn't have more than 255 subdirectories at each level, rather than the nesting level? There used to be hard limits on...

  • RE: When IsNumeric not numeric?

    Luis Cazares (9/30/2015)

    When I use Try_Convert(int, '+') it gives me 0 instead of NULL.

    That's probably because '+' converts to 0 using regular CONVERT, so it doesn't count as a value...

  • RE: When IsNumeric not numeric?

    Eric M Russell (9/28/2015)

    For example, if you have a VarChar column that should only contain values that are covertable to a specific data type (ie: Int or Date), then consider...

  • RE: When IsNumeric not numeric?

    Kristen-173977 (9/27/2015)


    Sadly I haven't been able to find any datatype that these two can be converted to - but I have only tried a handful of scale/precision for Numeric ......
