Are the posted questions getting worse?

    I got $10 that says he deleted the table and believes he can recreate it from the views.

    That was my first thought too. But schemabinding should prevent that, I think. (Now I have to go test that.)

    Edit:

    create table BindingTest (

    ID int identity primary key,

    Col1 varchar(10));

    go

    create view BindingTestView

    with schemabinding

    as

    select ID, Col1

    from dbo.BindingTest;

    go

    create unique clustered index IDX_BTest on dbo.BindingTestView (ID, Col1);

    go

    drop table dbo.BindingTest;

    Msg 3729, Level 16, State 1, Line 1

    Cannot DROP TABLE 'dbo.BindingTest' because it is being referenced by object 'BindingTestView'.

    Then you have those that would bite the hand that is trying to feed them.

    Lucky for the OP that is was not Jeff, Pork Chops at the ready in both hands methinks :laugh:

    Given the current situation with the swine flu, are we allowed to throw pork chops?

    Folks:

    I posted my first Microsoft CONNECT suggestion yesterday. It's suggestion #440375 entitled "Add Query-based bulk EXECUTE", you can find it here. Please support this suggestion by rating and/or voting for it.

    Let me know what you think. Thanks.

    I rated it important. Good suggestion.

    Ok, I stayed away from this thread so far and it looks like it's about a lot of other things not related to the quality of the questions but I can resist to point to this one:

    http://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic710052-146-1.aspx

    Yeah, that looks like a lost cause.

    Wow! I don't think I've seen that many significant errors in a script in a while. Incorrectly defined columns in the table DDL, two ON statements for identity insert, an extraneous Union All, and an attempt to insert duplicate values into a PK column.

    Almost seems like something I would intentionally put into my tech-interview database. Or a classic, "How many things can you find that are wrong with this picture?"

    You're way too nice Lynn. I would've walked away. If I need people yelling at me when I'm trying to help, I can go home & help the kids with their homework.

    I first read your reply while I was riding to school with my daughter and couldn't help but start to laugh.

    Child - "But Dad, that isn't how they taught us to do that at school!"

    Dad - "Did I get the right answer?"

    Child - "Yes, but that isn't how they taught us how to do it!"

    Are you sure he was shouting deliberately?

    His posts seemed quite amiable up to that point, and he had already said that he had updated his post (in small letters).

    Possible CAPS LOCK issue?

    Possibly just trying to make sure the helpers in the thread noticed?

    He is a newbie - so he may not even be aware that people take exception TO BEING SHOUTED AT!

    Dunno - I'm just wondering...

    Paul

    I'm quite sure he was yelling at me. Look up from the post I linked and you'll see why I say that.

  • He was yelling.

    And I even got told off once by my son's teacher for teaching him the wrong way to get the right answer :blink:

    Great post #4,000!! 🙂

  • Paul White (5/5/2009)


    Darn it. I missed it by one day.

    My one chance this year to say to RBarryYoung: "May the 4th be with you"

    :crying:

    Yeah, even though someone gave the heads-up on this last week, we still all missed it yesterday. 🙁

    And I even got told off once by my son's teacher for teaching him the wrong way to get the right answer :blink:

    I went in to talk to one of my kids teachers once because I couldn't help her with her homework because I couldn't do it the way she was teaching it (this was math) in class. I showed her what I was doing and getting the correct answer. She turned to my daughter, and in front of the class, stated quite clearly that there is more than one way to do it that works.

    When it comes to math now, I don't get the argument above. But, I have also found something else that works. I have had my daughters show me how they are being taought to do things and I learn something but they, in many cases, have found their own errors in their homework. Turns into a win-win scenario.
