How does SQL Server determine the order of the columns when you do a SELECT * ? I know "Order By" is essential for ordering the data , but I expected the column names to be consistent. Note: My code is not dependent on the actual order the columns are returned. I just want to know how SQL Server decides to order the column names. Of about 20 computers my team is using, one of them behaves differently. Any difference deserves to be investigated. The column name ordering appears to be the same for all computers when we open SQL Server Management Studio. When our application makes a query is when

When use Database Diagrams in a simple database, SQL Server create a dbo.sysdiagrams table in the Table\Systam Tables node (in Microsoft management studio\object explorer). But sysdiagrams table marked as user table in SQL Server. you can get user table by below query. SELECT * FROM sys.tables t WHERE OBJECTPROPERTY(t.object_id,'IsUserTable') = 1 I don't know that sysdiagram table is a system table or is a user table. Exists microsoft_database_tools_support with value 1 In the extended property of sysdiagram, that determine this table created automatically. Alain Tésio System tables are used

I'm trying to use this in Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2: SET @SomeVar = @SomeOtherVar + IIF(@SomeBool, 'value when true', 'value when false') But I get an error: IIF(...) is not a recognized built-in function name Is IIF() only compatible with a later version? Is there an alternate function I can use? Richard As others have said, IIF comes from SQL 2012. Before then, you can use CASE : SET @SomeVar = @SomeOtherVar + CASE WHEN @SomeBool THEN 'value when true' ELSE 'value when false' END What's New in SQL Server 2012, Programmability Enhancements : SQL Server 2012 introduces 14 new built-in

I want to implement a Fluent Nhibernate application with SQL Server 2008 R2. I am in a confusion whether Fluent Nhibernate 1.2 supports SQL Server 2008 R2. If supports what will be the configuration. Does it looks like below? var config = Fluently.Configure() .Database( MsSqlConfiguration .MsSql2008R2 .ConnectionString(@"Data Source=.\SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename='FNHLD.mdf';Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True")) .Mappings(m => m.FluentMappings.AddFromAssemblyOf<NHibernateRepository<T>>()) .BuildConfiguration(); As a matter of fact, even MsSql2005 dialect will work on SQL Server 2008 R2
