Sql-server – How to change from SQL Server Windows mode to mixed mode (SQL Server 2008)

sql server

I have installed SQL Server 2008 Express Edition, but by mistake I kept the Windows authentication mode.

Now I want to change that to SQL Server mixed mode. How can I do this?

You can do it with SQL Management Studio -

Server Properties - Security - [Server Authentication section] you check Sql Server and Windows authentication mode

Here is the msdn source - http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms188670.aspx

Sql-server – How to check if a column exists in a SQL Server table

SQL Server 2005 onwards:

IF EXISTS(SELECT 1 FROM sys.columns 
          WHERE Name = N'columnName'
          AND Object_ID = Object_ID(N'schemaName.tableName'))
BEGIN
    -- Column Exists
END

Martin Smith's version is shorter:

IF COL_LENGTH('schemaName.tableName', 'columnName') IS NOT NULL
BEGIN
    -- Column Exists
END
