Many people are confused about SQL Server’s precision and scale. This is unfortunate because choosing the correct values for precision and scale is critically important when you perform math operations using the decimal/numeric data type.

For example: tsqlLine number On/Off | Show/Hide | Select allSELECT 10 / 3 UNION All ...

Germany went through its worst inflation in 1923. In 1922, the highest denomination was 50,000 Mark. By 1923, the highest denomination was 100,000,000,000,000 Mark. In December 1923 the exchange rate was 4,200,000,000,000 Marks to 1 US dollar. In 1923, the rate of inflation hit 3.25 × 106 percent per month (prices double every two days). Stores would close for lunch to change the prices on items. I have scanned a bunch of stamps from my ...

Each SQL Server has a default language. You can see what the default language is by executing these commands (in a query window). tsqlLine number On/Off | Show/Hide | Select allSP_CONFIGURE ‘default language’Code is hidden, SHOW This will tell you what the default language is (sort of). It actually returns a config_value with an integer that represents the language id. You can then run… tsqlLine number On/Off | Show/Hide | Select allSP_HELPLANGUAGECode is hidden, SHOW ...

Today started off around 12:03 AM to my treo chimming about every 5 minutes. It wasn’t the way I wanted to wake up but we probably all know the feeling at one point or another. So why was my treo talking so much? Well at 12:03 AM a transaction decided to start blocking some updates. At this point SQLdm decided to let me know. By the time I logged in to check the blocked transactions ...

The end of Wall St. as we know it? Scary - but just the beginning of a larger tsunami of economic reinvention, as our forecasts at the Lab have predicted for the last several years. Now that Wall St.'s been eviscerated, it's Detroit's turn to play the meltdown and bailout game. So what should we demand from a bailout of Detroit? There's a bigger point raised by the serial destruction of Wall St. and Detroit. ...

Consider for a second the fact that as recently as this year, Detroit's lobbyists were hard at work, opposing stricter fuel efficiency standards. That's 20th century self-interest at its finest - not authentic interest for one's own long-run outcomes, but simply a childlike selfishness, both myopic and narrow, where cutting off the nose to spite the face is as rational as mutual nuclear annihilation

What a waste of bandwidth. The author completely ignores the damage entrenched unions have caused to these old businesses.And who says people want to buy accident prone little econo boxes? I wouldn't put my family in danger in one of those things in order to save gas or the planet.

100mm f/2.8 Macro lens, f/6.3, 1/40, ISO 400. Posted on TWiP. I try to rent different lenses for my dSLR as much as possible. I find it a great way to explore photography and keep myself inspired. I rented my first macro lens this weekend, the Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 Macro with the goal of DIYing a little macro studio and shooting some cool product shots. But, I really dropped the ball and ended up ...

There's a shortage of sperm in Britain! Apparently, Britain needs donations for about 4,000 women per year; to reach that number, about 500 sperm donors per year are required, while only 300 are currently registered. Things were fine until 2005, when a law was enacted allowing children of sperm donors the right to discover the [...]
