Why all SQL Server 2008 R2 collations are associated to a code page. Are all collations unicode ? How to choose a collation when our database is used by several languages using differents code pages ? Thank you. CHAR vs. NCHAR (ie. Non-Unicode vs. Unicode) defines the character storage encoding. Collations define... collation (ie. sort order and comparison rules). They are different concepts, although often confused. The confusion stems from the fact that the client tools use the collation of non-Unicode data as hint to choose the code page of the data. See Code Page Architecture . This means

I will pre-cursor this with the fact that I am NOT a DBA! I am trying to set up auditing on an SQL Server 2008 R2 Standard edition, but the Audits folder is missing from the Security section.

According to Features Supported by the Editions of SQL Server 2008 R2 auditing is only available in 2008 / 2008 R2 Enterprise / Datacenter. According to Features Supported by the Editions of SQL Server 2012 auditing has been split up in SQL Server

This is my Tables: [Member]: { [Id], [UserId], [UserName], [Email], [Status_Id], [MemberType_Id] } [CustomerProfile] : { [Id], [Member_Id], [FirstName], [LastName], [SSN], [Gender], [PostalCode],[City_Id], [Address]} [DealerProfile]: { [Id], [Member_Id], [FirstName], [LastName], [SSN], [Gender], [StoreName], [PostalCode], [City_Id], [Address] } [ManagerProfile] { [Id], [Member_Id], [FirstName], [LastName], [SSN], [Gender] } [City]: { [Id], [Title], [Province_Id] } So I need to create a full view of all my members and related columns, I am going to start with the following select query: SELECT

I have a simple dates table (Date, DateID) which contains a list of dates between 1-Jan-1900 and 31-Dec-2100. When selecting from the table using the between operator and hard-coded parameter values, I get a correct query plan with 3 estimated rows compared to 2 actual rows: select v.Date from Dates v where v.Date between '20130128' and '20130129'; However when replacing the hard-coded values with parameters, the query plan changes to a very poor plan, with over 6000 estimated rows and only 2 actual rows: select v.Date from Dates v where v.Date between @startdate and @enddate; The query plans

I am planning to drop all of the indexes except the primary keys. I made the primary keys myself but all other indexes was suggestion of SQL Server. After dropping all indexes which are not primary keys, planning to use SQL Server profiler tuning template for database tuning advisor and create indexes. With this way planning to not have unused indexes or performance degrading indexes. How logical is this ? Thank you. DECLARE @sql NVARCHAR(MAX) = N''; SELECT @sql += N'DROP INDEX ' + QUOTENAME(SCHEMA_NAME(o.[schema_id])) + '.' + QUOTENAME(o.name) + '.' + QUOTENAME(i.name) + ';' FROM sys.indexes

I am using SQL Server 2008 R2. My problem is that I want to count number of hits that i receive from XQuery query using FLWOR. For each hit, I want a consecutive number, like: 0,1,2,3,4... My query: select @xml.query('for $s at $count in /Root/Persons/Person return <Person ID="{$count}">{$s}</Person>') The only problem here is this is not supported in SQL Server and I receive an error: Msg 9335, Level 16, State 1, Line 16 XQuery [query()]: The XQuery syntax 'at' is not supported. I've also tried with let keyword and define new variable but I don't know how to increase value of that variable
