    Eirikur Eiriksson (5/15/2016)


    Piling on on the CHAR(0), here are some of my favorites:

    😎

    SET NOCOUNT ON;

    DECLARE @STR_WITH_ZERO_CHAR VARCHAR(20) = '123456789' + CHAR(0) + '1234567890';

    -- CHARINDEX will not return the position of...

    If a shop forbids VB, it seems to me that they wouldn't allow it to...
