    I will tell you what people will like most : articles about SQL Profiler. Think why? There is always long articles. Write simple and write to the point. DBA will love you.

  • Pinal,

    Could you address the differences between UDFs and SPs with regard to DML statements like INSERT, DELETE, UPDATE, etc?

    It appears that UDFs cannot perform these operations, while SPs can.

    Is that true?

    Thanks,
    Ted

  • Hi Pinal…
    your articles are very useful…I am an sql server database beginner.
    I read that “we can change environment variables using sp’s ,but can’t with udf’s ” from one of your article -stored procedure vs udf.
    My doubt is:
    How to set environment variables using stored procedures.i did not know how to get those env var values ti t-sql.So,please give me an example to do this.It may be useful for beginners like me..

    thanks,
    durga.
