Don't use ntile. Use this: SELECT COUNT(*) cnt, DATALENGTH(Description)/1000 grp, CAST(DATALENGTH(Description)/1000 * 1000 as varchar(10)) +'-'+ CAST((DATALENGTH(Description)/1000 + 1) * 1000 as varchar(10)) Interval FROM @t GROUP BY DATALENGTH(Description)/1000 ...

Why is SQL Server changing operation order and boxing the way it does?

In your example 33883.50 * -1 / 1.05 is evaluated as 33883.50 * (-1 / 1.05) instead of (33883.50 * -1) / 1.05 which results in a loss in precision. I played a bit with it. I used SQL Sentry Plan Explorer to see the details of how SQL Server...

defaults using Getdate and DateAdd are not working

sql,sql-server,select,distinct,sql-server-2014

Why isn't my single-character full text search working?

IN Memory Oltp hash index vs non clustered

sql-server,sql-server-2014,in-memory

The "non-clustered" indexes you're referring to are actually Range indexes. Both Hash and Range indexes are non-clustered, and there are no "clustered" indexes in in-memory OLTP tables (the primary key is forcibly implemented as a clustered hash index). Range indexes are implemented via modified B-trees and you can read more...

How can I determine the max usable size for my SQL Server Express tables?

c#,sql,servicestack,ormlite-servicestack,sql-server-2014

I asked a similar question over on the Microsoft forum and was told that DBCC DBREINDEX is not supported on 2014. I find this odd, since it works... sometimes. But, I can't discount language barrier. And, each time I have tried a similar statement: ALTER INDEX ALL ON QST2D REBUILD;...
