I wondered whether anybody knows how to obtain membership of local groups on a remote server programmatically via C#. Would this require administrator permissions? And if so is there any way to confirm the currently logged in user's membership (or not) of these groups?

What you need is this:
h = Math.sqrt(x*x + y*y);
z = Math.atan2(y, x);
That should give you the angle in radians, you might need to swap x/y and possibly add or remove 90 degrees but it should do the trick!
I use multiplication instead of Math.pow() just because Math is pretty slow, you can do:

I use the [Net::SMTP](http://www.ruby-doc.org/stdlib/libdoc/net/smtp/rdoc/index.html) library |
I have cygwin installed, so I can run bash shell scripts for my automatization needs. Besides, when I need stuff running moreless natively on Windows, I use a combination of batch + jscript (runs on cmdline if you have Visual Studio.Net installed, just call "cscript XXX.js"). |
I suppose you can do something like:
SELECT * FROM Table ORDER BY NumericalColumn DESC LIMIT 1 OFFSET 1
or
SELECT * FROM Table ORDER BY NumericalColumn DESC LIMIT (1, 1)
depending on your database server. Hint: SQL Server doesn't do LIMIT. |
Most modern languages have native support for some of the design patterns. It has been argued that languages are better the more patterns they support natively without the need to implement them explicitly, and that Lisp is excellent in this regard. Jeff had [something to say](http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/archives/... |
SELECT MAX( col )
FROM table
WHERE col < ( SELECT MAX( col )
FROM table ) |
select top 1 MyIntColumn from MyTable<br>
where MyIntColumn <> (select top 1 MyIntColumn from MyTable order by MyIntColumn desc)
order by MyIntColumn desc
|
This works in MS SQL:
select max([COLUMN_NAME]) from [TABLE_NAME] where [COLUMN_NAME] <
( select max([COLUMN_NAME]) from [TABLE_NAME] ) |
Something like this? I haven't tested it, though:
select top 1 x
from (
select top 2 distinct x
from y

Two recommendations.
**First:**
for real logging, use a modern logging package like log4j or java's own built in logging. Don't worry about performance so much, the logging level check is on the order of nanoseconds. (it's an integer comparison).

You should *never* use an exception if you don't have to - the overhead is horrible.
The variations on TryParse solve the problem - if you want to get creative (to make your code look more elegant) you could probably do something with an extension method in 3.5 but the code would be more or less the same.

Inheritance in database? |
|sql|database|inheritance| |
Is there any way to use inheritance in database (Specifically in SQL Server 2005)?
Suppose I have few field like **CreatedOn**, **CreatedBy** which I want to add on all of my entities. I looking for an alternative way instead of adding these fields to every table. |
You could create a template in the template pane in Management Studio. And then use that template every time you want to create a new table.
Failing that, you could store the CreatedOn and CreatedBy fields in an Audit trail table referencing the original table and id.
Failing that, do it manually. |

There is no such thing as inheritance between tables in SQL Server 2005, and as noted by the others, you can get as far as getting help adding the necessary columns to the tables when you create them, but it won't be inheritance as you know it.

Get month and year from a datetime in sql server 2005 |

Ok, this should be an easy question to answer. I need the month+year from the datetime in sql server like 'Jan 2008'. I'm grouping the query by month,year. I've searched and found functions like datepart, convert etc. but none of them seem useful for this. Am I missing something here? Is there a function for this? |
Oops, my bad, it's been too long since I've read pascal! So, if you need to get the value then there are a couple of possibilities:
1. Write the functionality in C/C++ and export the function, that's definitely supported.
2. Use a Managed C++ dll to shim to your .NET dll, and expose the call as a C interface point ... |

I think the canonical answer is: "Don't".
What you should probably do instead is unravel the thing in your *view* code, so it's just a matter of iterating over (in|de)dents in the template. I think I'd do it by appending indents and dedents to a list while recursing through the tree and then sending that "travelogue... |

If you need to count and then loop you may be better off with a list.
If you're using count to check for members you can use `Any()` to avoid enumerating the entire collection. |
If you're concerned about this, it may be worthwhile to set the case to all upper or all lower before you check.
For instance, in Perl:
$x = "abbCCDGBAdgfabv";
(lc $x) =~ /bad/;
May in some cases be better than
$x = "abbCCDGBAdgfabv";
$x =~ /bad/i;

to get an array of all instance variable names. |
