I was looking at a Miscrosoft example of a SQL "INSERT INTO".
One example they give isINSERT INTO Northwind.dbo.Shippers (CompanyName, Phone)
VALUES (N'Snowflake Shipping',N'(503)555-7233') What does the "N" stand for (or do) in N'Snowflake Shipping'? Is this really needed? I've looked around some and can't find any discussion about it.
In ado.net (using C#). have a statement such as "sqlCommand cmd=new sqlCommand(sqlStatement,stringConnection,sqlTransaction)". do you know the meaning of this bold parameter ? is it its tasks ? thank very much

In the following example the line of code
IF RIGHT(@StringArray,1) != @Delimiter
includes " != ". What does it mean?
Thanks, Bill
Full Example:-- Creates a UDF that returns a string array as a table result set
CREATE FUNCTION dbo.udf_ParseArray
( @StringArray varchar(max),
@Delimiter char(1) )
RETURNS @StringArrayTable TABLE (Val varchar(50))
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE @Delimiter_position int
IF RIGHT(@StringArray,1) != @Delimiter
SET @StringArray = @StringArray + @Delimiter
WHILE CHARINDEX(@Delimiter, @StringArray) <> 0
BEGIN
SELECT @Delimiter_position =
CHARINDEX(@Delimiter, @StringArray)
INSERT @StringArrayTable
VALUES (left(@StringArray, @Delimiter_position - 1))
SELECT @StringArray = STUFF(@StringArray, 1,
@Delimiter_position, '')
END
RETURN
END
GO
An example for finding the length of a string is:
SELECT LEN (N'She sells seashells by the sea shore')
This returns 37. Without the N, it still returns the same 37. Why is N used?
Thanks.

LOP_BEGIN_XACT, LOP_COMMIT_XACT,
LOP_INSERT_ROWS
Labels as the ones are easy recognizable when you explore LDFS by mean DBCC or whatever but on the contrary the following ones are tricky to reach the meaning:
LOP_IDENTITY_TYPE
LOP_DELTA_SYSIND
LOP_SET_BITS
Does anyone have any link related with this? I tried hard to search by Goog or something like that but unsuccessfully at all.

Hi,
Does anyone know the meaning of the datacode different values? I understand that 0 is OK and 1 is not, what is the meaning of the rest? I have an execution with no errors except a datacode=3 in the PackageEnd event. What does it mean?
Thanks,
Liran
The documentation says:
"An integer value that identifies the event associated with the log entry. The value 0 indicates the event provided no identifier."
When I look at the sysdtslog90 table and I filter for 'PackageEnd' events, I see a value of 0, 1 or 3 in the datacode column. Is there any information I can glean from these values, e.g. package success or failure?
When you write a sql query, some times there is curly braces within a query in a asp.net application. What is the meaning of that?

order by column3
So what is being used in here {LIMITDATE} and can some one explain this to me? I use C#.

Dear friends,
I'm reading Wiley's Data mining with SQL Server 2005... There are MANY things I can't understand about MovieClick example (Chapter 3).
I hope someone is going to help me with this troubles...
WARNING (1): I'm a dummy both with sql server and data mining.
WARNING (2): My English is not good at all.
Just two questions for now:
1) When I create the model to predict the number of bedrooms for homeowners, the book says to check BEDROOMS as Predictable... question: is it also an INPUT for the model, or PREDICTABLE only?
2) I'd like to keep this model (number of bedrooms.......) and make a prediction query.
- Query builder
- select case table -> Homeowners
- Drag the Customer ID column from the Homeowners table and drop it on the grid
- Drag the BEDROOMS column from the mining model and drop it on the grid.
- On the last row: Source=PredictionFunction, Field=PredictProbability
- Drag the BEDROOMS column from the mining model and drop it into Criteria/Argument
- Add (i.e.) 'Two or Three' to the field Criteria/Argument
I execute the query and I obtain many rows in a table with the following colums: CustomerID, BEDROOMS and Expression: WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?
WHICH INFO DO I GET FROM THOSE NUMBERS? WHAT CAN I LEARN FROM THEM?
Thanx a lot in advance, please help me!
