  • RE: Timing is Everything

    Jeff Moden (2/26/2010)


    It's odd that some folks want to move to the metric system and are still perfectly happy with the insanity of a time system that uses a combination...

  • RE: Timing is Everything

    I agree that GMT is the only sensible way to store a date and time in the database. If it is supposed to represent a specific point in time, GMT...

  • RE: Coding By The Sea

    Thanks for the update - I wasn't aware that Lutz had added the expiration code.

    I know there's no charge for the update (at the moment!), but the expiry date still...

    ... why would you expect someone to upgrade a tool for free?

    I don't. My concern is not that they will charge me for the next version,...

    Steve Jones - Editor (2/2/2010)


    Tools cost money to build. I'm not sure there's a problem with someone charging for their work. I'm sure you charge for the work you do.

  • RE: Coding By The Sea

    SQL Search is a very nice tool, but unfortunately it's not going to be free for long:

    Will SQL Search be free forever?

    No. SQL Search will be free for as long...

  • RE: We'll go no more a' tibbling

    I have to admit that I've been guilty of the occasional "tibble" in my time, but I've usually managed to avoid prefixing tables or databases. Of course, you should always...

  • RE: Datetime precision

    The wording of this question is ambiguous - if the question is "what would you expect this query to return", then any answer you select is correct by definition, as...

  • RE: Is C# Better?

    I agree with the general feeling that the differences are mostly aesthetic, and there's nothing major you can do in one language that you can't do in the other. The...

  • RE: Happy Halloween 2009

    in the US it seems to be one of those days that I find companies get very little work done

    This year, I hope it's one of those days when companies...

  • RE: SQL Server vs. JET

    I think it's quite ironic that Exchange - a 64-bit only product - still uses Jet, when Microsoft have explicitly stated that they are never going to release a 64-bit...

  • RE: Administering Securely

    If you don't trust your administrators, then they shouldn't be administrators! 😛

    Trying to prevent a sysadmin from reading your data is like giving someone the keys to your house and...

  • RE: T-SQL - What is the output of the statement

    It's 6th October already? What was I drinking last night?! :rolleyes:

  • RE: Spring Clean Your Database Schema

    Since this only works in SQL 2005 (due to the "OVER" clause on the "COUNT(*)" statement), you could replace the temporary table with a CTE.
