• Is it possible to easily convert SqlCommand to T-SQL string ?

  - by Thomas Wanner

  I have a populated SqlCommand object containing the command text and parameters of various database types along with their values. What I need is a T-SQL script that I could simply execute that would have the same effect as calling the ExecuteNonQuery method on the command object. Is there an easy way to do such "script dump" or do I have to manually construct such script from the command object ?

• Odd SQL behavior, I'm wondering why this works the way it does.

  - by Matthew Vines

  Consider the following Transact sql. DECLARE @table TABLE(val VARCHAR(255) NULL) INSERT INTO @table (val) VALUES('a') INSERT INTO @table (val) VALUES('b') INSERT INTO @table (val) VALUES('c') INSERT INTO @table (val) VALUES('d') INSERT INTO @table (val) VALUES(NULL) select val from @table where val not in ('a') I would expect this to return b, c, d, NULL but instead it returns b, c, d Why is this the case? Is NULL not evaluated? Is NULL somehow in the set 'a'?
