Re: Is DDR3 worth it?

Hmm... most of the suppliers only have DDR3-1333, can't find any DDR3-1600... There are some 1800's, but they are mucho expensivo.

Database Design Q

Hi I've never used relationships at database level (FK's). Most of the time I've handled all relationships in the application logic level of my apps. We started using a new ORM tool, which requires relationships to be declared in the db. Which should have been a simple thing is now a headache... In ...

The DB structure was developed by a moron; I can't change it without making too many UI changes as well. I'll try both approaches, thanks.

I liked the diesel due to the claimed fuel consumption (about 7.5l/100km). Apparantly the turbos suck.

Re: SQL Query v3

1. SQL Server 2005.
2. True.
3. Don't think the date/time format would change.
4. I insert the data into the DB with an app I wrote. No 3rd party.

Re: SQL Query v3

That's the way it is given to us by our supplier. Btw... what I did was : UPDATE Transactions SET DateField = DateField + convert(char(8), TimeField, 108) There are still two columns, but we'll just do reports on the DateField column. Need to keep the TimeField there, so future imports still work. I...

SQL Query v3

Hi I have a table with about 3.5mil rows. 2 of the columns contain the date and time respectively. Because SQL combines time and dates in datetime, the dates are represented as 5/6/2007 00:00:00 and the times as 1899/01/01 15:16:17. Is there a query that I can run to combine the date and time column...

320d vs S40T5 vs V50T5

So I gotta decide between a E90 (or E46) 320d, a S40 T5 or a V50 T5. All are pretty much in the same price range (R140k - R190k), and the same year (around 2004-2007). The Beemer gets awesome mileage to the gallon, but I don't think it'll match up to the (230 odd hp?) of the Volvo T5's. And I've alw...

Ok... the problem is that the TotalUsage calculated column is too small for the value... How do you specify that the calculated column should be of a specific type? (i.e. bigint)
