In this video we cover multiple database options most of which are fairly easy to understand and don’t really require significant research before being set. Often these settings are enabled by default and Microsoft recommends they remain that way. Some of the options we cover are listed below
ANSI WARNINGS – Must be set to ON
ANSI PADDING – Must be set to ON
CONCAT_NULLS_YEILDS_NULL – Set as per need
NUMERIC_ROUNDABOURT – Set as per need
Two Digit date Cutoff – Not change required
We cover how these options behave using T SQL scripts and things to watch out for such as unexpected behavior or deviation from what is mentioned in BOL.
