To enable Service Broker run: ALTER DATABASE [Database_name] SET ENABLE_BROKER; To disable Service Broker: ALTER DATABASE [Database_name] SET DISABLE_BROKER; To check if Service Broker is enabled on a SQL Server database: SELECT is_broker_enabled FROM sys.databases WHERE name = ‘Database_name’; If the result is ‘1’, the Service Broker is enabled. Thanks to zarez.net for this useful […]
Recursive triggers are set at the database level. It’s part of the database metadata information and is available through “sys.databases” view. You can use the below query to check whether the recursive triggers are enabled or not on your database: SELECT name AS ‘Database’, is_recursive_triggers_on AS ‘Recursive Trigger Enabled’ FROM sys.databases Here is the output:
In SQL Server 2012+, you can use OFFSET…FETCH. The below query will help you to get 2nd row. But with little changes, you can get the Nth row as well. SELECT <column(s)> FROM <table(s)> ORDER BY <sort column(s)> OFFSET 1 ROWS — Skip this number of rows FETCH NEXT 1 ROWS ONLY; — Return this […]
The easiest way to do that is using a function CREATE FUNCTION [dbo].[HideNameWithAsterisks](@Name varchar(max)) RETURNS varchar(MAX) AS BEGIN DECLARE @loop int = LEN(@Name) WHILE @loop > 1 SELECT @Name = STUFF(@Name, @loop, 1, CASE WHEN SUBSTRING(@Name, @loop – 1, 2) like ‘% ‘ THEN ‘ ‘ WHEN SUBSTRING(@Name, @loop – 1, 2) like ‘ %’ […]
DECLARE @MyValue int SELECT @MyValue = Column1 WHERE Column2 > 50 IF @MyValue IS NULL BEGIN RAISEERROR(‘This is my custom message from SQL.’, 16, 1) END ELSE SELECT MyValue END Use an error code within 11-16, or just use 16 for a “general” case. RAISERROR(‘This is my custom message from SQL.’,16,1) Why? Here’s summary of […]

If you only want to match N” as an empty string SELECT COLUMN FROM TABLE WHERE DATALENGTH(COLUMN) > 0 If you want to count any string consisting entirely of spaces as empty SELECT COLUMN FROM TABLE WHERE COLUMN <> ” If you want to use DATALENGTH for any string consisting entirely of spaces then you […]
SELECT m1.Column1, m1.Column2, m1.Column3, r.MaxTime FROM ( SELECT Column1, MAX(TimeColumn) as MaxTime FROM MyTable GROUP BY Column1 ) r INNER JOIN MyTable m1 ON m1.Column1= r.Column1AND m1.TimeColumn = r.MaxTime
The SQL Server CONCAT_WS() function concatenates two or more strings into one string with a separator. CONCAT_WS() means concatenate with separator.
Please note that with a little bit changing you can also use this query as a stored procedure.
Let’s say we have this values in the database: num — 1 2 4 5 6 8 9 11 To Find the first missing value, we can use this: ;WITH CteRN AS( SELECT *, RN = num – ROW_NUMBER() OVER(ORDER BY num) FROM tbl ) SELECT TOP 1 num – RN FROM CteRN WHERE RN […]
Always use with statement like ;WITH then you’ll never get this error. The WITH command required a ; between it and any previous command, by always using ;WITH you’ll never have to remember to do this.
You need to define a length when specifying the varchar parameter: SqlParameter TheFirstJob = cmd.Parameters.Add(“@spParam”, SqlDbType.VarChar, 50); Note: You should use the same length as defined in your SQL Server stored procedure.
