I also hope this isn't the only thing they have been working on.:w00t:

I can't explain what I really need, or tell you much about it, but when you show me the solution, I'll know it.

Please wave the magic wand......

Good grief, it's the White House window cleaner. Looking through his posts, he's always very polite and respectful but...this is a bit scary:

Thank you so much Rxxxxh
You are my good friend
If you come to the US or you come to Massachusetts, please stop at my house and we can hang out for fun.
my email xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx@hotmail.com
phone (xxx) xxx-xxxx

Wonder how much spam he's getting now?

Well ya know this guy freely admits to being a SQL novice and the language issues (didn't someone mention Babelfish?) indicate a different culture where swapping personal details might be more commonplace than with us uptight Yanks and Brits. Maybe he deserves a little more help...

No, the Babelfish poster was someone else. It was a Spanish language barrier with that one.

Too many authors in the field of relational theory have neglected the concept of Cardinal Reciprocity. This can cause a number of subtle problems with database design in terms of its derivability, redundancy, and consistency. . Increasingly, this little-understood aspect of relational theory, that emphasises the cardinality of the attributes of tuples in a relation and the reciprocity with isomorphic foreign key restraints, is becoming a hot forum topic.

I've never met Cardinal Reciprocity. Where does he stand in the hierarchy of the SQL Inquisition?
