• SQL Server SQLAgent forces a Cmd Window

  I am installing SP4 on a previously installed SQL2000 Ent running on a Win2000 Enterprise SP1. When I start SQLAgent, a CMD window with no statements opens up. If I close the CMD window, the SQLAgent stops. So, to keep SQLAgent running I have to minimize the CMD window and leave it up all the time. Is there any way I can run the SQLAgent without having the CMD window open all the time I am clicking on Start in the SQL2000 Service Manager when SQLAgent is showing as the service to start. You think the exe for SQLAgent is not registered as a service Is there any way I can fix it ...Show All

• Visual C++ AVI's in C++/C#

  I'm in uni at the moment, and what to create a video editor for my final year project, but as of yet have no idea where to start even loading a video into C++. I've had a look around on the net to find ideas, and there have been a few suggestions such as Direct Show and Open GL. Is this the way to go to do such a thing, or is there an easier/more efficient way to do so.

• SQL Server Order of conditions in a query

  I have a query with many (approximately, 30) conditions, such as: select ....... from table1 join table2 on ( ( table1.field1 = table2.field1 OR table1.filed1 IS NULL ) AND ( table1.field2 = table2.field2 OR table1.filed2 IS NULL ) ) My question is: In C++ or C#, when I write a condition like this, say, in an IF or WHILE, I know that I would be better off specifying the IS NULL (well, == null, to be precise) first, and use | instead of ||. In that case, the first condition (equality to null) is checked first, it's fast, and if it's not satisfied, the control flow goes to the next statement. The question is, is there the same rule in T-SQL I mean, if I put the "... IS NULL" first, and then "OR ... = ...", wil ...Show All

Hi Which objects are missing Within the project, we treat rules, defaults, permissions, role membership signatures, storage, custom errors, encryption keys, linked servers and logins are pre or post deployment objects.
