When you connect to Microsoft SQL Server from the Active Server Pages (ASP) using ActiveX Data Objects via named pipes, the client computer must be validated by SQL Server to use the named pipe.

When you prepare to move your cubes and databases to a production environment, you need to change the data s..Read More..

The ANSI standard requires padding for the character strings used in comparisons so that their lengths match before comparing them. The padding directly affects the semantics of WHERE and HAVING clause predicates and other Transact-SQL string comparisons. For example, Transact-SQL considers the strings ''abc'' and ''abc '' to be equivalent for most c...
