sql-server-2012

So say I have the following tables in my SQL Server 2012 DB: Person PersonId FirstName LastName Photo PhotoId PersonId (fk) DateTaken PhotoFileTable (all the FileTable columns) And the photos stored on disk are structured like this: \\myserver\filestreamshare\People\PersonId\Photo1.tif And very important: There are a TON of photos ALREADY on disk that need to be added to the database- that's why I thought a FileTable would be cool as it automatically picks them up. So I need to do 2 things- first, relate the Photo table to the PhotoFileTable so that I can get all photos for a person. And

I have a situation where a linked server to an access DB is crashing my SQL server. Crashed here means adding the linked server causes all other linked servers using that provider to stop working. Any queries to those linked servers hang and don't complete. This situation persists until the server is restarted. However, when I use OPENDATASOURCE to connect to the same data source I don't have this problem. Why would one work and the other crash? The provider I'm using is Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0. I have Dynamic parameter and Allow inprocess enabled. Example query below select * from

I have value A of type DECIMAL(19,8) - the scale is 8 , so the number of decimal digits that will be stored to the right of the decimal point is 8 . Now, I am dividing A on B , where B is BIGINT . For, example: SELECT CAST(3 AS DECIMAL(19, 8)) / CAST(27 AS BIGINT) -- 0.111111111111111111111111111 ,CAST(300 AS DECIMAL(19, 8)) / CAST(27 AS BIGINT) -- 11.111111111111111111111111111 ,CAST(75003 AS DECIMAL(19, 8)) / CAST(13664400 AS BIGINT) -- 0.005488934750153684025643277 the output values are with length: 29 , 30 , 29 respectively. Could anyone tell why the length of the value for the three

I have a view that contains two fields for latitude and longitude, and I would like to create a new view that converts these lat/lon fields into a geometry/geography field (unsure which is most appropriate for ArcGIS). The fields in the original view are of double type, and I would like them cast as a spatial type in my new view. Currently I am unsure how to cast these fields as spatial types. All the other similar questions on Stack Overflow never got me a working solution, so I apologize if this question appears to be a duplicate, but hopefully a clearer example could help others as well.
