BBQ diplomacy. You gotta love it.Unless of course you're vegan.
I apologize to all fundamentalist vegans.
No offense taken. I am a Vegan and happy to eat BBQ anytime I get the chance.;-)

There are plenty more examples of religion associated acts of terror too (Holocaust....
I have to disagree with this statement. As an amateur historian, I don't see the Holocaust as religiously motivated. It was a political and ethnic issue.
Don't forget the Jews weren't the only people caught up in this. The Roma were the second largest group targeted. And plenty of normal Germans (of varying religions, but I remember Catholic as one of them) were sent to the camps because of their political views and inability to "play well" with the Nazis.

Oh, switching topics.
We had the best Mongolian BBQ place in town a few years back. Now it's gone. I miss it so much. I need to track down a new one.
Has anyone here ever had Mongolian BBQ?

Indeed.
I haven't known my grandfather because he has been deported to Dora as a "political prisoner". We've been to the site at Nordhausen and found his medical records. He probably didn't survive the last train to Bergen-Belsen when they abandoned Dora when the allied forces were on the hunt for it.

While political and ethnic issues did indeed play a part in the Holocaust, religion was proably the biggest factor. At the very least, it was the biggest tool used in the Holocaust.

So you know the search procedure you are working on is complex when you can't write up a question about it for the forums because it takes so long to explain and hits so many tables.
And yes, I'm the one trying to formulate the question. Odds are by the time I've figured out how to word the question I'll have salved the problem I'm having.

Let us know when you're done so we can reply with: "Is there anything else we can help you with?" 😀
Good luck.
Oh, what kind of salve are you putting on it? Does it really help? 😀

Similar thing happened to me fairly recently. Spent 2 days trying to solve a problem, then wrote up a forum post which took me 3 hours to do, during which time I solved my own problem.
Seems to be a good way to solve a problem, forcing you to look at it in a different way.

If you solve your own problem before posting the problem you should ask yourself if this is something others can benefit from. If so then consider posting both the problem and the solution.

I did consider it, but my description of my problem was unfinished so I decided against it. The basic problem was a silly mistake, I missed a statement in my where clause. :hehe:

See that's how fried my brain is just from trying to figure this out.
Probably the most complex SQL I've had to write. Too many OUTER JOINs (business requires this design), and then parameters that could turn the OUTER JOINs to INNER JOINs and may not be what the business wants in some cases.

Just asking the question is often enough to help figure it out by yourself. : -)

Many, many moons ago, in the long distant past, I was told about Maud (not an acronym) which was carboard cutout of a person which stood in a corner of the room. When you had a problem to solve you would get Maud, stand it next to you and explain the problem, by the time you finished explaining you solved the problem. Then you returned Maud to the corner.
Far away is close at hand in the images of elsewhere.

Maud sound far more interesting than a few of my colleagues :w00t:

Are you using anti-biotic salve or a general "good smelly" salve?
