A: what is binary_checksum in SQL? and how does it work?

A_SkBINARY_CHECKSUM usually used to detect changes in a row. If any row has any value changed, this function can be used to figure out if the values are changed in the rows. However, if the row is changed from A to B and once again changed back to A, the BINARY_CHECKSUM cannot be used to detect the c...

@ypercubeᵀᴹ Very interesting indeed. I wonder have Google provided any funding to the PostgreSQL Global Development Group - and also, have Amazon with their Babelfish project? The latter is still in "coming soon" mode - and I'm willing to bet (gentelmen's) that it will not appear by the end of the year!

Guys and girls, I'm reading this highly voted answer about partitioned tables in SQL Server:

Q: Can I move rows between partitions by updating the partition key?

RichardI would think that this would be a fairly simply question, but I've actually had a difficult time finding an answer for this. The question: Can you move rows of data within a partitioned table from one partition to another by simply updating the partition column so that it crosses the partition ...

shouldn't it declare the tables with something like:
CREATE TABLE [IDRanges](
    [ID] [int] NOT NULL
) ON IDRange1 ([ID]) ;
 
but it creates the partitioning function after creating the table
 
Yeah, so how is the table partitioned (in this answer)?
I see the other answer by Jason Halladay and it creates the table, creates the function and then adds the clustering index using the partititioning function. So that looks ok.
 
7:37 PM
Am I missing something?
 
yup, it's missing something
the guy that answered I mean
 
yeah. I tried the answer by Halladay, in a fiddle: dbfiddle.uk/…
OK, I missed a step above as well. Seems to need create table, create partitioning function, create scheme, then finally add index with partitions
@Lamak Nice. It took us only 10 years and 11k pair of eyes ;)

Oh man, this caught me
If string_expression input is of type varchar(max) or nvarchar(max), REPLICATE truncates the return value at 8,000 bytes. To return values greater than 8,000 bytes, string_expression must be explicitly cast to the appropriate large-value data type.
"Why is this database not 200GB like I am putting 3m rows in and 250k of them are supposed to have 400KB made up nvarchar(max) blobs in them?"
