In a previous article we learnt how to use CTE (Common Table Expression) to render dates in a date range. In this example we’ll use somewhat advance technique to show a data in a heirarchical form. Using the regular T-SQL query this is almost impossible to achieve it without coding in a strored procedure […]

  Using a traditional programming language like C# or Python you can use “for” and “while” loop constructs to generate a sequence of numbers, dates, string values or anything else super-easily. But here we’ll learn how to generate date values in a specific range using Transact-SQL query. We’ll not use any SQL stored procedure. Let’s […]

Usually calculating and providing running total is the job of a report designer software module. But if you’re using SQL Server database then Transact-SQL (a.k.a T-SQL) provides this facility right in the query. Let’s assume […]
