  • RE: Data Compression

    Koen Verbeeck (11/13/2013)


    First of all, this question is way too easy. Enterprise has all the features, so you don't even have to think.

    Secondly, developer is the same as enterprise feature-wise,...

  • RE: Analytical functions available in SQL 2005

    I sort of did it like Tom

    I knew that LAG and LEAD and PERCENT_RANK were all 2012 features (and some of the reasons we wanted 2012).

  • RE: "NOT IN" Operator and Three Valued Logic

    Rune Bivrin (11/1/2013)


    Well, good question, but the correct alternative was a bit misleading. You don't get a zero back, you get an empty result set. That's a different answer.

    No, Ron, I think you are a good DBA, because this is not understandable on first look in my eyes! And if you feel confused I think you are...

    Thank you. So if Disney gives Mickey Mouse the ability to fly, every member of The Mickey Mouse Club gains the same ability. Interesting, and entirely confusing. I think...

  • RE: Parameter sniffing

    IgorMi (10/17/2013)


    If you use exec sp_recompile 'T'

    you'll get results (compiled values) "Kelle" and "Pelle"

    If you use exec sp_recompile 'GetIt'

    you'll get results (compiled values) "Kelle" and "Urban"

    Which is what I did......

  • RE: What happens to a variable after COMMIT or ROLLBACK

    raulggonzalez (10/7/2013)


    Thanks for the question!

    It might be good also to point that table variables are not affected either by transaction rollbacks.

    As per BOL

    Because table variables have limited scope and...

    Very interesting question. Never used a CTE with a DELETE statement before.

    +0.5

    Never used a CTE at all.

    This I find amazing... do you not use the Window...

  • RE: Variable Declaration

    paulcauchon (9/19/2013)


    Perhaps even less often-- I can't think of a single instance where a code block wrapped in if 1=0 would be a useful design element.

    I've used stuff like that...

    Good... so rather than googling myself to death trying to come up with the correct term.

    I believe it's because of the IF/THEN that we see this.

  • RE: Declare Variable

    Koen Verbeeck (9/15/2013)


    The question itself is great, however the explanation is lacking.

    There's no reference, and the explanation itself is incorrect.

    There's no variable that is "reset".

    The DECLARE is not ignored, it...
