RE: Making an application that uses identity keys occassionally connected

Hi Greg, The point I was making is that the main reason for using GUIDs is so that the code that creates an object can assign an ID to it without having to reference a single allocator for IDs. I could have five servers and four apps and they can all happily create values and related objects th

RE: Making an application that uses identity keys occassionallyconnected

The problem with NEWSEQUENTIALID is that it fixes the wrong problem. One of the main reasons for using GUIDs in the first place is so they can be generated in other layers of code (and potentially other servers) and then just thrown into the database. If you are going to the database to get a G

Hi Greg, J As an aside, for someone starting with T-SQL, the first book that Itzik had in that series is probably more appropriate: Inside T-SQL: Fundamentals -> http://www.amazon.com/Microsoft%C2%AE-Server%C2%AE-T-SQL-Fundamentals-PRO-De veloper/dp/0735626014/ref=sr_1_10?ie=UTF8

RE: SQL CLR table as function parameter

That can work quite well but be careful if you're using the .nodes() method in T-SQL to provide the table to join to. It doesn't have cardinality estimates (actually it "guesses" 10,000 rows) and can end up with some seriously badly performing query plans. Often we have to use it to extract the dat

Hi Greg/Grant, The issue isn't whether or not the service account has access to the files, it's whether or not it's been granted permission to access the server and the databases. Open SSMS and make sure it's configured as a Login and also that the Login has access to the database. Rega
