Hi Mouzam,

I am not aware of where we can find TicketingOffice database. You may want to contact Microsoft for it.

Comment on SQL SERVER – Interesting Observation of CONCAT_NULL_YIELDS_NULL and CONCAT in SQL Server 2012 onwards by rre

rre — Fri, 17 May 2013 11:49:20 +0000

Thanks, nice observation. I had a look into BOL and it’s mentioned there “Null values are implicitly converted to an empty string. If all the arguments are null, an empty string of type varchar(1) is returned”. This makes clear why the session property hasn’t any impact for the CONCAT function.

Thanks & Regards
Rob

Yeah… .NDF – Secondary database file used by Microsoft SQL Server; created when the primary .MDF database becomes too large (such as when there is no disk space left); may also be manually added to the SQL Server File Group to distribute data between the two files.

Hi Pinal, just sent you following LinkedIn message…

I was trying to practice Microsoft course-ware for WCF Development (Course #10263). The Labs are meant to be run on Virtual Machines during the course but I want to practice them on my local machine.

For this I need the TicketingOffice sample database which is used throughout the courseware. AdventureWorks database is very easily available on the net but…

Do you have any idea where I can download TicketingOffice sample database from?

Your help is highly appreciated.

Thanks
Mouzam

Comment on SQL SERVER – Puzzle and Answer – REPLICATE over 8000 Characters by Paritosh

MSDN: REPLICATE ( string_expression ,integer_expression )
If string_expression is not 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.

So to get more than 11000 char, third expression should be like-
SET @ThirdString = REPLICATE(CAST(‘C’ AS VARCHAR(MAX)),11000)
