Query returns empty columns
Posted by Amy at 10/26/2007 8:12:50 PM
Hi,
The query below returns sales made in 2007 and 2006 and works fine. However,
if a client didn't have sells in 2006, the query returns empty fields (for
2007 as well).
Can anyone pls tell me why? I think the problem is with the WHERE statement
but cannot see it.
TIA

int to money. When I save the script in mgmt studio it creates a temp
table, drops current one and then renames temp table. Is there a way to
just have it generate the ALTER script like it did in SQL 2000? Thanks.

Hello -
My databases are being backed up nightly. I thought I had created a
maintenance plan that would overwrite the old backup; somehow I have ended up

Can I just delete the old ones?
