    I wrote this because most of my colleagues are still working on SQL server 2000. Not sure, when they plan to migrate to 2005 or higher.

    sknox (3/8/2010)


    I'm quite surprised that, at the time I answered the question, approximately 3/4 of people got this question wrong.

    Do you think this is because lack of knowledge? I think...

    CONVERT works across all platforms & has more capabilities in SQL Server is also true

    That is what I am looking at as well, does this not mean...

    Otherwise, then let's call it a decimal comma

    Maybe you'll be surprised by the fact that the decimal separator IS called 'decimal comma' in many countries: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decimal_separator#Countries_using_Arabic_numerals_with_decimal_comma 🙂

    The explanation says that stored procedure plans are never saved to disk. Of course, stored procedures themselves are saved to disk, otherwise...

  • RE: SARGable

    I think the typo is quite obvious.

    Thanks to the author: the question was very useful to me, due to the question I learned the new word 'sargable' 🙂

  • RE: FOR XML PATH

    bc_ (2/25/2010)

  • RE: Numeric or Not Numeric

    ISNUMERIC() function always ignores commas while validating data

    SELECT ISNUMERIC('-1') -- the result is 1

    SELECT ISNUMERIC(',-1')...

    Christian Buettner-167247 (2/18/2010)


    Sorry, but option 1 is still wrong.

    Exclusive locks prevent access to a resource by concurrent transactions

    Read access is not prevented in case of NOLOCK or READ UNCOMMITTED

    Exactly. Another...

    Triggers are for INSERT, UPDATE, or DELETE only.

    Correction:
