| Need to know if MSSQL (any version...) supports the concept of Derived Tables in the FROM clause. Something to the effect of:Select DT.foofrom (Select foo from bar) as DTwhere DT.foo = 'foobar' ;thx,IU84 |

| Thanks.No, I didn't try it. I don't have the software. We're considering a conversion from our current DBMS, and I'm in the research phase.IU84 |

| You can also get the developer edition for about $50 I think.All version support t-sql but there are some features that aren't available. CE is the only edition that is very different.seehttp://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/architec/8_ar_ts_7eur.asphttp://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/architec/8_ar_ts_1cdv.aspIt might also be worth getting a copy of inside sql server which includes the evaluation edition.http://www.sqlteam.com/store.asp==========================================Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.DTS can be used in a similar way.Beer is not cold and it isn't fizzy. |
