I’m running SQL2008.
I am trying to work out a soluition to a security problem. I have simplified
my query to find out if it is possible and a simple example

Yes, on SQL Server 2008 using the new spatial data types is another option:

The related methods make manipulation really easy.

Ooops I didn't notice that Celko went in this topic and fight
started. :-)
As far as I know the culture code is composed of two parts:
language-COUNTRY
A few examples:
pt: Portuguese
pt-PT: Portuguese-Portugal
pt-BR: Portuguese-Brazil
en: English
en-GB: English-Great Britain
en-US: English-United States

Thank You.
I was undecided between real and float.
Then I was also reading something about spacial values in SQL 2008 and
I was getting a little bit confused.
Thanks,

Country > Region

mdmo...@gmail.com (shapper) — Thu, 26 Nov 2009 18:23:38 UT

Hello,
On a database I have two tables:
Countries and Regions. For each Country I have one or many regions.
Then I have another table, Centers, where I need to define its
location.
I suppose I need only RegionId in this table correct?
By defining the Region of the Center I can lookup in which country is

The FLOAT data type is a good choice.

Rich,
I don't know if your question is still relevant, but I would like to
point out the fact that default values are only used if the column is
omitted from the INSERT statement, or when the keyword DEFAULT is used
as value.
So for example if you insert a row in your table and do not specify
colum "container", then the default will kick in, which in this case

I agree... sometimes just hearing the questions someone would ask to get
more information can be as revealing as whether they can just spout off an
answer. I use this scenario in my classes quite a bit, in the sections on
tuning. I'll either describe or demo an unexpected behavior, and then ask
the class how they might go about tracking down what the cause is. I ask

Data Type

Hello,
I am saving latitude and longitude values on a database for use with
Google Maps. For example:
Latitude = 44.797916
Longitude = -93.278046
What SQL data type should I use to hold these values?
Thanks,

I think the second question is a valid one if the interviewer doesn't expect
a right or wrong answer. Open-ended questions may be used to gain a better
understanding of a candidate's troubleshooting skills in real-life
situations. In response to the second question question, I would like to
see an interviewee ask for more information about the circumstances

Well I'm not an Excel MVP so what I don't know about VBA is a lot :-)
Are you using ADO within the VBA code? It has the nasty behavior of opening
an additional connection under the covers when the current one is busy. I
recommended that SELECT results be consumed entirely to avoid a subsequent
command that uses the same ADO database connection from opening another

Hi Erland,
Thanks for the response.
I think they meant that the data hadn't changed and neither had the
query.
My first thought was that perhaps there is a time limit on the caching
of data and that it had expired.
But that probably still wouldn't explain why the query timing on the
3rd run was worse than the original query.
