Passing single input parameter with format 'test1', 'test2', 'test3' My stored procedure has the following code:  WHERE tag IN (@InValue)   I want to send a list of tags as an input parameter  EXEC dbo.TestSelect @InValue = '''Test1'',''Test2'',''Test3'''   am I close?
Parameterize an SQL IN clause How do I parameterize a query containing an IN clause with a variable number of arguments, like this one?  SELECT * FROM Tags  WHERE Name IN ('ruby','rails','scruffy','rubyonrails') ORDER BY Count DESC   In this query, the number of arguments could be anywhere from 1 to 5.  I would prefer not to use a dedicated stored procedure for this (or XML), but if there is some elegant way specific to , I am open to that.

In John Preskill's  of monopoles he states on p. 471     Nowadays, we have another way of understanding why electric charge is quantized. Charge is quantized if the electromagnetic $U(l)_{\rm em}$ gauge group is compact. But $U(l)_{\rm em}$ is automatically compact in a unified gauge theory in which $U(l)_{\rm em}$ is embedded in a nonabelian semisimple   group. [Note that the standard Weinberg-Salam-Glashow (35) model is   not "unified" according to this criterion.]   The implication of the third sentence is that, in some circumstances, the $U(1)_{\rm em}$ gauge group may not be compact.  How could this be?  Since $U(1)$ as a differentiable manifold is diffeomorphic to $S^1$ isn't it automatically always compact?  The following paragraph:     In other words, in a unified gauge theory, the electric charge operator obeys nontrivial commutation relations with other operators in the theory. Just as the angular momentum algebra requires the eigenvalues of $J_z$ to be integer multiples of $\frac{\hbar}{2}$, the commutation relations satisfied by the electric charge operator require its   eigenvalues to be integer multiples of a fundamental unit. This   conclusion holds even if the symmetries generated by the charges that   fail to commute with electric charge are spontaneously broken.   is OK, but I don't follow what that has to do with the compactness of $U(1)$. Proof that disjoint cycles commute I'm trying to prove that in a symmetric group two disjoint cycles commute. But I suspect that something is not right about my proof (a sense of vagueness). Some hints would be appreciated.  Here's my proof:  Let $\sigma=(s_1 s_2 ... s_n)$, $\tau=(t_1 t_2 ... t_m)$ for some integers $m, n$. That is, $s_i \neq t_j$ for any $i \in [1, n]$, $j \in [1, m]$. Now, $\sigma\tau=(s_1 ... s_n)(t_1 ... t_m)$ is a cycle of disjoint permutations, which cannot be represented by any other disjoint permutations. Thus $\sigma\tau=\tau\sigma$. How do I kill mobs using /kill without them dropping loot? I have a spawn area I am hoping to make a safe haven, so I have a command block on a clock that kills each hostile mob type. This works to keep the place free of any hostile mobs, however every night I see rotten flesh, bones, arrows, and string everywhere.  I would like to add something to my command blocks so that they are killed without dropping loot. How can I accomplish this?  Note that I want mobs to drop loot generally elsewhere in the world, so /gamerule doMobLoot false will not do the trick for me. I'm hoping for a command that only applies to the mobs killed by the command block, and not anything else. Given some potential $V$, we have the eigenvalue problem   $$ -\frac{\hbar^2}{2m}\Delta \psi + V\psi = E\psi $$   with the boundary condition   $$ \lim_{|x|\rightarrow \infty} \psi(x) = 0 $$   If we wish to seek solutions for   $$ E &lt; \lim_{|x|\rightarrow \infty}V(x), $$   I find textbooks like Sakurai and others assert that (without proof) set of all such eigenvalues $E$ that admits nontivial solutions is discrete, which gives us liberty to index them with natural numbers (principal quantum numbers). Can anyone help me with a little elaboration of this mathematical fact ? As a student of mathematics, I know that compact operators have discrete spectrums, so for the operator $ T : L^2 \rightarrow L^2 $given as  $$ T(\psi) = -\frac{\hbar^2}{2m}\Delta \psi + V\psi. $$   Are there methods to show that $T$ is compact? Or possibly other ways to establish discreteness of its eigenspectrum? Raster calculator reclass 0 as 0 QGIS I want to process a raster with values 0-16. I want to set all values between 1 and 15 as 1, a value of 16 as 0 and cells with a value of 0 as 0.   How do I maintain a cell value of 0?  I have tried the following:  ("raster_name@1" !=0 AND "raster_name@1" &lt;= 15*1)+("raster_name@1" = 16*0)   Results in: Values of 16 as 0, values 1-15 as 1, values 0 also = 1  I also tried:  ("raster_name@1" !=0 AND "raster_name@1" &lt;= 15*1)+("raster_name@1" 16*0)+("raster_name@1" = 0*0)   Results in: Values of 16 as 0, values 1-15 as 1, values 0 = 2  Please, can you explain how to retain cells with a 0 value as 0? I have to compute this integral $$\int_{0}^{\infty} \frac{dt}{1+t^4}$$ to solve a problem in a homework. I have tried in many ways, but I'm stuck. A search in the web reveals me that it can be do it by methods of complex analysis. But I have not taken this course yet. Thanks for any help. Are dark energy and zero-point energy the same thing? According to Quantum Mechanics is it possible that the famous  and  are the same thing that drives the accelerated expansion of the universe or maybe related to each other? I have two separate Armatures that I want to join together. I have no problem combining the meshes, but the problem is the bones/rigs. When you do the Object mode > join, I lose all of my weight paint on one of my armatures. Is there any way I can join two separate armatures and keep all the weight paint. I turn my models into XPS and use XNA Lara to view them, but XNAlara cannot use both armatures at once. Where are the outliner toggles in 2.8?

How to know the types of windowing system, window manager and desktop environment of a Unix-like OS I was born in Brazil and came to the United States at the age of 7, in 2007. I no longer need to live in the United States because I have found success in investing and no longer depend on having a job. I am going to buy property in my home country soon, but I have just turned 18.   Will I ever be able to return to the United States to see my friends and other family members? Even if it is a 30-day visa? And, if so, in the future, am I still eligible for the EB-5 visa? Will I be barred from entry? Do the beacon lighters really live on top of the mountains?

What measures does Cognito Forms take to ensure Privacy/ Security Level for Completed Forms/ User Data? Some forms may contain confidential information - even something basic like where a person lives.   What measures do Cognito Forms take to ensure that data stored within its site is secure? I've discovered a new pattern.  Is this pattern well known or what is the opinion about it?  Basically, I have a hard time scrubbing up and down source files to figure out what module imports are available and so forth, so now, instead of  import foo from bar.baz import quux  def myFunction():     foo.this.that(quux)   I move all my imports into the function where they're actually used., like this:  def myFunction():     import foo     from bar.baz import quux      foo.this.that(quux)   This does a few things.  First, I rarely accidentally pollute my modules with the contents of other modules.  I could set the __all__ variable for the module, but then I'd have to update it as the module evolves, and that doesn't help the namespace pollution for code that actually lives in the module.  Second, I rarely end up with a litany of imports at the top of my modules, half or more of which I no longer need because I've refactored it.  Finally, I find this pattern MUCH easier to read, since every referenced name is right there in the function body. Every non-empty subset of the integers which is bounded above has a largest element. I was reading a proof about every non-empty subset of the integers which is bounded above has a largest element, but i have troubles in one step. Here is the proof:  Since $S$ is a non-empty subset of $\mathbb{Z}$(hence $\mathbb{R}$) which is bounded above, by the supremum property $sup S$ exists. Let $w=supS$, then we have to show that $w \in S$, so we suppose $w \notin S$, then we have $w-1&lt;w$, then exists $m\in S$ such that $w-1&lt;m&lt;w$(here is my problem, why can we take $m\in S$ such that happens? we are in $\mathbb{Z}$, so that does not happens). Then he takes $n\in S$ such that $w-1&lt;m&lt;n&lt;w$. The inequality $n&lt;w$ implies that $-w&lt;-n$, and $w-1&lt;m$, if we add up both inequalities we have $-1&lt;m-n$ implies $n-m&lt;1$, then $0&lt;n-m&lt;1$ which is a contradiction because there are no integers between $0$ and $1$ Can anybody explains me if that step is right?? How can I prove this if there is a problem with that step? Thanks!
