I code, I sing, I write, I act. I'm trying to start my own commercial .com site while working a day job as an IT Consultant. Wish me luck, and feel free to help along the way!

revised Should I use SQL or NoSQL for this specific design (surveys)?

comment Should I use SQL or NoSQL for this specific design (surveys)?
Thank you, I appreciate the thorough response! Was wondering if you maybe could update it to add your thoughts on an additional concern: with a NoSQL solution (particularly RavenDB), to an extent my objects become my schema and can adjust as necessary. I have to build that in SQL server first (unless I go with Entity Framework). Thoughts on this aspect?

comment Query missing one date; only happened today
Also, If you'd be willing to comment, I'm interested in the speed implications of my answer, because I think it is more readable, though includes a separate union statement. I'm thinking the speed difference should be negligible given the scope.

comment Query missing one date; only happened today
Hi Justin, per my previous answer I also noted that taking the query into account, I decided that there was no way my user could have been running the query as she claimed she was, because it (as you correctly state) would have never returned the current date. Thank you for answering!

comment Oracle: How do I query a Hierarchical table?
@a_horse_with_no_name logically, I suppose the "building" level would be anything with a parent that is the campus name, i.e. anything with a parent of "MAINCAMPUS". The root of all the nodes is "COMPANYNAME", which is the parent of "MAINCAMPUS", and all buildings (plus "grounds") have MAINCAMPUS as a parent.

comment Oracle: How do I query a Hierarchical table?
Thanks for the response! I'm getting it enough to realize that I don't think I phrased my question well. My table structure has two columns -- "location" and "parent". The hierarchy these create is defined by my ascii chart. I would like to construct a view that shows, for each location at the "building" level, all locations underneath its branch. My goal is to be able to query a building and get all its sub-locations, or query a sublocation and see which building it belongs to, through a view (so no hard-defined "building-x" in the query). Any help would be greatly appreciated!

comment Oracle 11g setting for backwards compatibility?
I have flagged this question as not a real question as it cannot be reliably answered. The real issue was very far off base from the topic of this question. Thank you to all who attempted to help, but I think it's best that this one goes away for the benefit of the community.
