The OUTPUT clause was introduced in SQL Server 2005. The OUTPUT clause returns the values of each row that was affected by an INSERT, UPDATE, or DELETE statement. It even supports a MERGE statement, which was introduced in SQL Server 2008 version. The OUTPUT clause has access to two temporary or in-memory SQL tables, INSERTED […]
SELECT DATEADD(yy, DATEDIFF(yy, 0, GETDATE()), 0) AS StartOfYear, DATEADD(yy, DATEDIFF(yy, 0, GETDATE()) + 1, -1) AS LastDayOfYear, DATEADD(yy, DATEDIFF(yy, 0, GETDATE()) + 1, 0) AS FirstOfNextYear, DATEADD(ms, -3, DATEADD(yy, DATEDIFF(yy, 0, GETDATE()) + 1, 0)) AS LastTimeOfYear Thanks to Jamie F for the answer.
If you have two tables A and B, both with column C, here are the records, which are present in the table A but not in B: SELECT A.* FROM A LEFT JOIN B ON (A.C = B.C) WHERE B.C IS NULL To get all the differences with a single query, a full join must be used, like this: […]
to fix this problem: remove temp files from %temp% folder (C:\Users<user name>\AppData\Local\Temp) open the register and remove “HKLM\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio” or execute via cmd (with admin rights): reg DELETE “HKLM\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio” /reg:32 run install with admin rights NOTE: Just for those who don’t know register just open CMD as an […]
The DBCC CHECKIDENT management command is used to reset the identity counter. The command syntax is: DBCC CHECKIDENT (table_name [, { NORESEED | { RESEED [, new_reseed_value ]}}]) [ WITH NO_INFOMSGS ] Example: DBCC CHECKIDENT (‘[TestTable]’, RESEED, 0); IMPORTANT: The following example forces the current identity value in the AddressTypeID column in the AddressType table to a value […]
To create a single string from multiple rows in MySQL, you can use the GROUP_CONCAT function. This function allows you to concatenate values from multiple rows into a single string, separated by a specified delimiter. Here is an example of how you can use this function: SELECT GROUP_CONCAT(column_name ORDER BY column_name ASC SEPARATOR ‘,’) FROM […]
@@IDENTITY returns the last identity column value created on a connection, regardless of the scope. That means it could return the last identity value you produced, or it could return a value generated by a user-defined function or trigger, possibly one fired because of your insert. In order to access the last identity value created […]
NOCOUNT is by default deactivated (OFF) at the server level. It means by default, the server will send to the client the number of rows affected by the SQL query executed which is, in most cases, useless because no one will read this information. Deactivating this feature will save some network traffic and improve the […]
“NULL” is never equal to anything, even itself. Therefore comparisons using equality operators will always return False, even when the value actually IS NULL. For that reason, comparison operators should never be used to make comparisons with NULL; IS NULL and IS NOT NULL should be used instead. Bad example: UPDATE books SET title = ‘unknown’ WHERE title = NULL — Noncompliant […]
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 ‘n’th 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 […]
select ‘Parameter_name’ = name, ‘Type’ = type_name(user_type_id), ‘Length’ = max_length, ‘Prec’ = case when type_name(system_type_id) = ‘uniqueidentifier’ then precision else OdbcPrec(system_type_id, max_length, precision) end, ‘Scale’ = OdbcScale(system_type_id, scale), ‘Param_order’ = parameter_id, ‘Collation’ = convert(sysname, case when system_type_id in (35, 99, 167, 175, 231, 239) then ServerProperty(‘collation’) end) from sys.parameters where object_id = object_id(‘MySchema.MyProcedureName’)
Just add defaultValue parameter in CreateTable method for property: public partial class TestSimpleEntity : DbMigration { public override void Up() { CreateTable( “dbo.SimpleEntities”, c => new { id = c.Long(nullable: false, identity: true), name = c.String(), deleted = c.Boolean(nullable: false, defaultValue: true), }) .PrimaryKey(t => t.id); } public override void Down() { DropTable(“dbo.SimpleEntities”); } } After that, run update-database -verbose command, […]

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:
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 […]
