But I'm trying to learn what the difference is between writing a function like this is in plpgsql: CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION foo() RETURNS TRIGGER AS $$ .... $$ LANGUAGE plpgsql; vs CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION foo() RETURNS TRIGGER AS $foo$ .... $foo$ LANGUAGE plpgsql; is there a diff...

I've looked into sys.columns and the column_id there is merely the order of the columns which changes if the order of the column is changed. I'd like to know if SQL Server maintains a unique id for each column as it does for each table and other objects. And if it does, how ...

Several of our database tables contain LastModifiedDate columns. We would like these to stay synchronized based on a single time-source.

I would like to be able to use...

We began with SQL Server 2005 database and tables. [UPDATE, INSERT and DELETE] in this case we were using the UPDATE trigger(s) to insert rows into audit tbl(s) when application (VB6) data table is modified. We moved the audit tables to SQL Server 2008. The only change in the trigger statement(s) (on the SQL Server 2005) we modified the ...
I am using Microsoft SQL Server and I have a master-detail scenario where I need to store the order of details. So in the Detail table I have ID, MasterID, Position and some other columns. There is also a unique index on MasterID and Position. It works OK except one case: when I have some existing details and I change their order. For ex...
What's the best way to represent a sparse data matrix in PostgreSQL? The two obvious methods I see are: Store data in a single a table with a separate column for every conceivable feature (potentially millions), but with a default value of NULL for unused features. This is conceptually very simple, but I know that with most RDMS implem...

I was under the impression that each day's file contained only unique records, but have discovered that my definition of unique is not exactly the same as the prov...
I'm curious. Is there any way to prevent SQL query execution plans from being cached for an entire connection's duration? Can I run a command that basically says, "use OPTION(RECOMPILE) for all subsequent commands until I tell you to stop doing so?" I'm acutely aware of all the performance trade-offs here, and I know this is not a ste...
