  • RE: What is Biml? - Level 1

    Interesting teaser; I'll be more interested to review the substance. Particularly in combination with patterns and also in relation to the MS BI stack.

  • RE: Using a Variable for an IN Predicate

    All I can say to that is that it's a good thing that SQL isn't intended to be a parser, and thus we don't have to worry about handling CSV...

  • RE: Using a Variable for an IN Predicate

    rd8202 (3/1/2013)


    Instead of the CTE, can't you just put the CTE's SELECT statement inside the WHERE clause?

    You can do it that way; it's really just a syntactical change. There's...

  • RE: Using a Variable for an IN Predicate

    jimmyzimms (3/1/2013)


    I'd actually suggest you in general try to keep to the xml array as the "native" input parameter and have an SSRS wrapper function that deals with the delimited...

  • RE: Using a Variable for an IN Predicate

    jimmyzimms (3/1/2013)


    A standardized xml type containing the set (think something installed in your schemas collection) would be far easier to use and debug plus SQL server is a stud at...

  • RE: Using a Variable for an IN Predicate

    Passing XML as the parameter is actually another good use-case for a similar technique, and I've done this where I was dealing with an object-level interface. In that way,...

  • RE: Using a Variable for an IN Predicate

    The most common reason I use much the same approach (even to the point of using Jeff's code too) is in passing multi-value parameters from SQL Server reporting services into...

  • RE: While/Loop Help

    Lynn Pettis (2/7/2013)


    Better advice, yes, but hard to follow if the boss says you must use them.

    declare @success bit;

    exec CurriculumVitae_prepare;

    while (1=1) begin

    exec Job_Apply @isWhileRequired = 0,...

  • RE: Tally OH! An Improved SQL 8K “CSV Splitter” Function

    TheSQLGuru (1/16/2013)


    Once you switch from an iTVF to a multi-statement TVF you are dead meat and the Fat Lady is belting a tune. You basically get a cursor under...

  • RE: Date Comparisons

    paul.j.kemna (1/11/2013)


    The original query was actually written in 2005 where the DATE data type did not exist.

    Ah. I didn't spot that, since you posted in a SQL Server 2008...

  • RE: Importing one file into two database tables

    One possible reason why there are no rows going into the second table is that you have the multicast in the wrong place. The multicast needs to happen before...

  • RE: Calling SSIS Package in a trigger

    If all you are doing is copying the data from one instance to another, then I would agree that replication is probably a far better solution. It sounds to...

  • RE: Date Comparisons

    Am I missing something? SQL Server 2008 has the "date" type; casting a datetime to date will remove the time component and then you can compare dates with dates,...

  • RE: An Introduction to Database Design

    Paul,

    A great introduction to the topic, thank you. I'm curious: is there a follow-up planned?

    Things I liked were that you related the process of the design to solving a...

    krowley (1/11/2013)


    I need to figure out how to setup my SQL Server Management Studio to do intelisense then.

    It should work with the 2005, but maybe not with the...
