Just looking as a way to try and lessen the impact. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Load times for VC++ Express? Seems like a long time to get the app. going

  Hi all, Just a quick question: is there any way to improve the load times of VC++ Express I have a relatively fast computer, 2.4Ghz with over 1G of RAM. What is going on with VCE that it takes over a minute to load I realize this doesn't seem like a long time, but when you are used to programs that immediately spring to life, waiting for VCE while it does something in the background is annoying at first, and worrisome in the second. What is it ...Show All

• SQL Server Ignore Null in a Column that otherwise needs a Unique Value

  In Access, when you specify a unique key for a column, you can also specify IGNORE NULL, in which case there can be more than one record with NULL, but if the field is not NULL, then only one record can exist. How do I do the same thing in SQL Server. I have a table with a column that identifies a Previous Entry. If the column is Null, then there is no previous entry - this may occur often. If the column is not null, then there is a Previous Ent ...Show All
