  • RE: In The Beginning

    Kev T (11/25/2014)

    For those that may not know, it is because of the move from the Julian Calendar to the Gregorian calendar in 1752 saw 11 days in September never...

  • RE: Memory

    Yeah, I also put "none of the above" because of the 4Gb recommended minimum for non-Express editions.

  • RE: The Import Wizard

    Just took a blind guess at this one because I've never used the wizard--I'd import a flat file using BULK INSERT and then spend hours reading through the error tables...

  • RE: Friday Shirts

    I confess I cheated: I found an animated GIF on your blog that had pictures of all the shirts in it, and counted the frames. 🙂

  • RE: Is there a way to enforce the use of a where clause in a select?

    Think about it for a second. If you could somehow achieve what you wanted, all that will happen is that the same client will do the same thing, but get...

  • RE: Create a stored procedure

    Maybe the author chose the column name deliberately to catch out people who just run the SQL rather than thinking about their answer? I mean, the error about incorrect syntax...

  • RE: Are the posted questions getting worse?

    Stefan Krzywicki (9/11/2014)


    Oh thank goodness a reasonable answer. It isn't varchar(7) it is datetimeoffset(7)

    That's disappointing--I was kind of hoping that the VARCHAR(7) date would turn out to be the octal...

  • RE: Persisted Columns

    This is one of those questions where I'm glad I didn't read the documentation and selected what looked like the most logical answer, because BOY is that documentation for ALTER...

  • RE: Choose only two correct answers?<!-- 864 -->

    I thought the interesting part was that the actual "name" part of the table name *is* only 116 characters long--apparently, the # showing it's a temporary table is counted as...

  • RE: DBCC CHECKDB<!-- 864 -->

    Internal note: try reading the *whole* MSDN bit about TABLOCK before answering...missed that very important last line! 🙁

  • RE: Are the posted questions getting worse?

    LutzM (8/19/2014)

    It has been even worse last weekend... Approx. 85 out of 100 posts were plain spam.

    The Monday newsletter e-mail was somewhat interesting--I think it highlighted 40-odd new posts in...

  • RE: Artist or Scientist?

    Gary Varga (8/19/2014)Perhaps craft instead of art? Some might also be tempted to say it is not the artistry but the laziness.

    Except it could be argued that the person who...

  • RE: Artist or Scientist?

    I probably count as both, too, but the distinction with me is that I'll take the "artist" approach for something that I know will only happen a few times--the extra...

  • RE: Are the posted questions getting worse?

    I turned 7 in the middle of 77--I just about remember all the bunting being up for the Silver Jubilee. Can't remember if that was the year that everyone from...

  • RE: Are the posted questions getting worse?
