In MySQL, the STD() function returns the population standard deviation of a given expression.
STD() is a synonym for the standard SQL function STDDEV_POP(). There’s also a STDDEV() function which also does the same thing, so we can use either of these functions to get the same result.
In MySQL, the BIT_XOR() function returns the bitwise XOR of all bits in a given expression.
XOR is an exclusive OR, and so a XOR b is mathematically equal to (a AND (NOT b)) OR ((NOT a) and b).
If you’re getting error Msg 6855 in SQL Server that reads “Inline schema is not supported with FOR XML PATH“, it’s because you’re trying to add an inline schema to an XML document that you’re generating using PATH mode with the FOR XML clause.
As the message alludes to, PATH mode doesn’t support the ability to create an inline schema when using the FOR XML clause.
To fix this issue, either use a different mode to generate the XML with an inline schema (specifically, use either AUTO or RAW mode), or don’t generate an inline schema at all.
In MySQL, the BIT_OR() function returns the bitwise OR of all bits in a given expression.
In MySQL, the BIT_AND() function returns the bitwise AND of all bits in a given expression.
If you’re getting SQL Server error Msg 529 that reads something like Explicit conversion from data type int to date is not allowed, it’s because you’re trying to perform an explicit data type conversion that’s not permitted.
SQL Server doesn’t allow certain conversions. If you try to perform such a conversion, you’ll get this error.

Continue readingIn MySQL, we have several options when it comes to extracting data from JSON documents. Below are six methods we can use to do this.
Continue readingIn SQL Server, we can use the sp_sequence_get_range stored procedure to generate a range of sequence numbers from a sequence object.
If you get an error that reads “WRONGTYPE Operation against a key holding the wrong kind of value” when using the ZADD command in Redis, it’s probably because you’re trying to update a key that contains the wrong data type.
To fix this issue, be sure to only use the ZADD command against sorted sets if the key already exists. If the key doesn’t already exist, then you shouldn’t get this error.
