Re: associate a user name with a preference server

2007-03-05 Thread Jim Ashton
No, unfortunately you do not. TEST1 and test1 are interpreted as being equivalent from the point of view of whatever procedure is looking for associated preference servers. So if you log in as TEST1 on ServerA, and then test1 (which should default to ServerB) ServerA shows up in the preferen

Hi, Joe. If I understand your problem correctly, I think you may need a UNION query. Something similar to that below: SELECT Col1, Col2 FROM Table1 UNION SELECT Col1, Col2 FROM Table2 This assumes Col1 is a compatible data type in both Table1 and Table2, as is Col2. This will give you the ent
