Note to all SO beginner:

Please read (and embrace!) Jon Skeet's helpful hints on how to write a good question (or at least his short version here ) - one that has a chance that someone can answer it.


A Pascal/Delphi programmer and database freak at heart, I work as a C# developer on line-of-business applications (mostly ASP.NET).

I'm interested mostly in distributed systems (WCF), database (design and SQL), and Active Directory.


I'm an MCPD .NET 4 Web Developer, MCPD .NET 4 Windows Developer, MCPD Enterprise Application Developer (.NET 3.5), and MCTS for WCF, ADO.NET, Winforms and ASP.NET.

comment convert(varchar, getdate(), 112) or convert(varchar(8), getdate(), 112)
I would recommend to always explicitly specify a length for a varchar. In different places, you get different default lengths; as a parameter to a procedure, you get a default length of 1 character - typically not what you expect.

comment Is there a system primary key associated with each row?
No, at least nothing you can get your hands on easily. Every row has some system-level location information - file id, page id and offset inside the page - but that information is very much internal to SQL Server and not easily accessible from the outside (and definitely not useable to select your row from T-SQL!)
