Isn't that what varchar(MAX) is for?
|
|
|
|

NVARCHAR(MAX) is a good think, but has two disadvantages:
1. You can't control where the data stored, in-page or as BLOB
2. Every size is passed so you can't use it for 'sanity' check (where data can not be longer than n)
I'm not questioning your powers of observation; I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is. (V)

Don't you mean CLOB?

I mean like BLOB - out of page...

You can always switch to Oracle. You'll develop a whole new set of gripes.

Been there, done that.
Dual - I mean, FFS!

I understand the reasoning behind the Dual table.
Instead of adding a load of exceptions with possible "features" to the parser, they've added a readonly dummy table.
My personal gripes revolve mostly around the fact that you have a different set of Types depending on whether you're doing pure SQL, procedures or packages.

Ha! I didn't expect that! Quite amusing though all the same.

No, I thought we were a better team than that, but apparently not.

An Irishman walks into a bar in Dublin, orders three pints of Guinness and sits in the back of the room, drinking a sip out of each one in turn. When he finished all three, he comes back to the bar and orders three more.
The bartender says to him, ‘You know, a pint goes flat after I draw it; It would taste better if you bought one at a time.’ The Irishman replies, ‘Well, you see, I have two brothers. One is in America, the other in Australia, and I’m here in Dublin. When we all left home, we promised that we’d drink this way to remember the day we all drank together.’
The bartender admits that this is a nice custom, and leaves it there. The Irishman becomes a regular in the bar and always drinks the same way: he orders three pints and drinks the three pints by taking drinks from each of them in turn.
One day, he comes in and orders two pints. All the other regulars’ in the bar notice and fall silent. When he comes back to the bar for the second round, the bartender says, ‘I don’t want to intrude on your grief, but I wanted to offer my condolences on your great loss.’
The Irishman looks confused for a moment, then the light dawns in his eye and he laughs. ‘Oh, no,’ he says, ‘Everyone is fine. It’s me……..I’ve quit drinking!’

Disappointing maybe, it's your point of view, I bet the Uruguayans have a completely different view on the subject.
Unexpected? Not really.

What happened? They won?!

Once again the England team have gone and done the worst thing they possibly could have done - made me do basic arithmetic and probabilities!

same thing that happens pretty much every world cup
they get all excited, write lots of articles about how they're gunna win this time, put out a bunch of world cup songs - analyse the heck of of everything
and then lose.
oh well

England also talked about their golden generation a little while back, with players like Beckham, Gerrard, Lampard, Owen etc. It wasn't so golden after all and now, with no superstars, they play much a little bit better, but still loses in the end.
BTW: Congrats to Australia that scored the best goal so far

I think Norway holds the record of just considering one goal and still managed to only play in the group phase; 1994 USA.

Switzerland went out in 06 without conceding at all, iirc.
