Hi am creating a new database not sure which way is the best way to go. Here are the questions
I have a history table which has its an identity field and an identification field which shows what type of history field it is. As in payment, printout, change and so on.... For this field should i use
Full text which has the payment, printout, change and so on and make it easy on the eye and for queries and coded to use the same text all the time
have varchar(2) type of field which holds an understandable field PR, PO, CH and a reference table for it as in PR= PAYMENT, PO = Printout, CH as in change and so on
or have a integer field as in 1, 2, 3 and ref. table 1=payment, 2 = printout, 3=change and so on
I have a address table which holds multiple types of addresses which are really limited count maybe upto 4 different types
have a integer field which links to a reference table as above

I know about @@version and SERVERPROPERTY, but I am looking for a query that will determine between SQL Server 2000 and 2005. I need to write an if/then statement and don't want to have to add all of the 9.xxx.xx versions for 2005 and keep that updated with each hotfix that comes out.

I've looked through many suggestions and partial examples all overthis newsgroup and still am not coming up with anything that doesspecifically what I'm wanting to accomplish.I'm writing a VB 6.0 application which uses SQL Server as theback-end.Here's an example of what I'm wanting to do...A user accessing the VB GUI attempts to open a certain form. Coderuns behind the scenes in VB that checks the user's "Execute"permissions on the stored procedure that retrives the data into theform. If the user is determined to have "Execute" permissions to thatstored procedure, the user is allowed to proceed with opening theform. If they don't have permissions, they are informed of this andaren't allowed to open the form and view the data.Let's say that we initially determine through the VB code that theuser has the ability to "Execute" the stored procedure that allows forviewing of the data. We go ahead and let them open the form. Oncethe form is being opened though, we run VB code to check for theirpermissions on other stored procedure that can be used in UPDATING /INSERTING / DELETING the records being displayed in the form. If theydon't have "Execute" permissions on these particularUpdate/Insert/Delete stored procedures, then I'll have a text box onthe form show as visible to advise them while they're looking at thisdata that they can't do anything to this data other than view it...they can't insert new records, they can't delete any records, and theycan't update any records.I have yet to find specific code that tells me how to checkpermissions on a storedc procedure for the user that's logged-in, whatthe resulting codes (i.e. 12291, etc.) mean as far as identificationof their permissions, etc.If anyone can help me out here, I'd greatly appreciate it. I'd hateto just have to resort to trying to allow the user to run the storedprocedures and just trap the error codes that may arise once eachstored procedure is executed and inform the user on the tail-end ofthe process that they can't run the stored procedure. I'd like toidentify their permissions to the stored procedures on the front-endof the process either before each form is opened or just as it'sopening to advise them early as to what they can/can't do with thedata being displayed in the form.Thanks in advance for any examples/information!Sincerely,Brad H.

Hi,
I want to retrive the output in a single SQL query.
I had two columns in a table; I used some values of column1 in column2.
I want to identify all the column1 vlaues in Left Hand side and column2 values in Right Hand side, with a single query.
example:
MasterTable
ParentRow ChildRow
--------- --------
A B
C D
E F
G C
H E
M G
Output required:
ParentRow ChildRow
--------- --------
A B
C D
E F
G D (C mapped tfrom D)
H F
M D (G mapped from C, and C mapped from D)
To get the above output, I written query using WHILE...[BREAK|CONTINUE] concept until I get @@rowcount become zero.
I am looking for better performace and to get the output in a single query, instead of multiple passes.
Can any one suggest good tools and articles on performance tuning techniques?
Thanks

I have a table which is referenced in multiple stored procedures .Among them only one procedure loads data (INSERT statement) to the table. In all other procedures table is referenced in FROM clause.
My question is how do i find the stored procedure that is actually loading data into that table.

I've question about how to handle structural datamodel changes in a datasource of PowerPivot. Suppose I'm developing a starmodel in SQL Server and sometimes a datatype changes or a name of a field changes in a table. It seems to me that PowerPivot handle this not gracefully as Analysis MD does (mostly). I received an error because of a wrong fieldname or even no error when a dattype changes in PowerPivot. Is this common or do I something wrong here. Does this mean that every time the datamodel changes the PowerPivot should be recreated? Or am I missing the clue here?
