  • RE: trimming SSNs

    For all of you advocating encryption, how do you stored SSNs?  Fortunately I don't deal with data requiring this level of protection, but I'm curious how you do it.

  • RE: Building Better Stored Procedures

    I like to practice "defensive" programming and so I want the system to fail if I accidentally hit "execute".
    Just having CREATE prevents this accidentally replacing the original version...

  • RE: Building Better Stored Procedures

    I'm assuming you're also only talking about the starting BEGIN and ending END around the whole procedure.

    Yes.  I certainly use the combination as part of portions of...

  • RE: Building Better Stored Procedures

    The begin/end optional (usually) syntax makes me crazy. I only use it when required, it just adds noise.
