Why ' set ANSI_NULL ON ' while writing SP

-- Create table t1 and insert values.
CREATE TABLE t1 (a INT NULL)
INSERT INTO t1 values (NULL)
INSERT INTO t1 values (0)
INSERT INTO t1 values (1)
GO

When SET ANSI_NULLS is ON, all comparisons against a null value evaluate to UNKNOWN.

-- SET ANSI_NULLS to ON and test.
SET ANSI_NULLS ON
GO

DECLARE @varname int = NULL
SELECT * FROM t1 WHERE a = @varname -- No output
SELECT * FROM t1 WHERE a <> @varname -- No output
SELECT * FROM t1 WHERE a IS NULL -- NULL
GO

When SET ANSI_NULLS is OFF, comparisons of all data against a null value evaluate to TRUE if the data value is NULL

-- SET ANSI_NULLS to OFF and test.
SET ANSI_NULLS OFF
GO

DECLARE @varname int = NULL
SELECT * FROM t1 WHERE a = @varname -- NULL
SELECT * FROM t1 WHERE a <> @varname -- 0 , 1
SELECT * FROM t1 WHERE a IS NULL -- NULL
GO

-- Drop table t1.
DROP TABLE t1

Bytes to TeraBytes.

Converting from bytes to terabytes is very easy considering that terabyte = 1024*Gigabyte = 1024 * 1024 * Megabyte = 1024 * 1024 * 1024 KiloByte = 1024 * 1024 * 1024 * 1024 * Byte Query below gives number of documents in a media and the total size of the documents. See how you have used Alias in the query SELECT [MEDIA] = X.media_id, [TOTAL] = COUNT(*), [Size_KB] = SUM (Size_MB) FROM ( SELECT d.edoc_id, d.media_id , SIZE_MB = ( CAST(ISNULL(d.Size1,0) AS DECIMAL) + ...

Adding a linked Server using the GUI

Adding a linked Server using the GUI There are two ways to add another SQL Server as a linked server. Using the first method, you need to specify the actual server name as the “linked server name”. What this means is that everytime you want to reference the linked server in code, you will use the remote server’s name. This may not be beneficial because if the linked server’s name changes, then you will have to also change all the code that references the linked server. I like to avoid this method even though it is easier to initially setup. The rest of the steps will guide you through setting up a linked server with a custom name: To add a linked server using SSMS (SQL Server Management Studio), open the server you want to create a link from in object explorer. In SSMS, Expand Server Objects -> Linked Servers -> (Right click on the Linked Server Folder and select “New Linked Server”) Add New Linked Server The “New Linked Server” Dialog a...

JavaScript Interview Questions

This is a compilations of all the interview questions related to Javascript that i have encountered. Q: Difference between window.onload and onDocumentReady? A: The onload event does not fire until every last piece of the page is loaded, this includes css and images, which means there’s a huge delay before any code is executed. That isnt what we want. We just want to wait until the DOM is loaded and is able to be manipulated. onDocumentReady allows the programmer to do that. Q: What is the difference between == and === ? A: The == checks for value equality, but === checks for both type and value. Few examples: "1" == 1; // value evaluation only, yields true "1" === 1; // value and type evaluation, yields false "1" == true; // "1" as boolean is true, value evaluation only, yields true "1" === false; // value and type evaluation, yields false Q: What does “1″+2+5 evaluate to? What about 5 + 2 +...
