No. Thesis is due end of the year and it's going to take til the end of the year. I have no classes or exams, haven't had since the 1st year of this. I took a break mostly because I needed a break from the forums.

If you can't explain to another person how the code that you're copying from the internet works, then DON'T USE IT on a production system! After all, you will be the one supporting it!

Yea, Oracle <> T-SQL.
