Are the posted questions getting worse?

  • I noticed the sarcasm and I noticed the 'NULL'. I've just been bothered by the thread. If the question would be this don't work:

    SELECT blah FROM anywhere

    UNION ALL

    SELECT 'NULL'

    .. I would give an answer, but only "Try for me"...

    I also already saw "NULL" in columns. Equal to the question "I didn't wrote anything into the column. Why does it show NULL?" :crazy:

    Thankfully, I have yet to see a column named [NULL].

    Sorry, forgot: How often did you have a column "Group" or even "From" (and "To") 😀

    Yep. You can do just about anything. I thought this was pretty amusing.

    Just one thing missing:

    DECLARE @t TABLE (Id INT, [*] VARCHAR(10))

    INSERT INTO @t SELECT 1, 'abc'

    SELECT [*] FROM @t

    Hope The Thread forgives this kind of source code!

    Bwaaaah, ha, ha. :laugh:

    Amazing how fast the thread goes. I stopped to work for awhile and it takes forever to catch up.

    Isn't great how you can do anything?

    Oh, and I agree with Bob, I'd love it if everyone sounded like their Avatar. Of course that make Flo a tired and irritable Garfield.

  • Okay. I couldn't stop myself. Had to try it.

    create table dbo.[Table] (

    [Identity] int identity primary key,

    [Column] varchar(100),

    [*] int,

    constraint [ForeignKey] foreign key ([*]) references dbo.[Table]([Identity]));

    go

    create index [Index] on dbo.[Table]([Column])

    include ([*]);

    Command(s) completed successfully.

    You always have the option to avert your eyes and let others assist him.

    They might give him bad advice though.

    He might even take it.

    BTW, if I ever get to meet you and/or Barry, I will be crushed if you don't sound like your avatars.

    While I do have a low voice, I am no James Earl Jones. Mind you I could do a mediocre impression in my younger days, but I don't have that kind of vocal range/control anymore. 🙁

    Since I don't have an avatar, would that make me sound like Null?

    Or should I go get an avatar of one hand clapping?

  • If I sounded like my avatar, it would be some kind of klaxon/alarm bell/buzzer/siren/end-of-the world noises. 😀

    By the way, I'm now having to deal with a table named dbo.[Plan].

  • But do you look like your avatar, Roy?

    P.S. It's good to see you back online. I can't remember if I said that earlier.

    sorry, crushed you will be.

    I don't know. I met Barry at the PASS Summit last year. He sounded a bit like Darth... an avuncular friendly Darth, but Darth none the less.

    Great. Now I have to go look up "avuncular" just so I can tell if Grant is really dissing me!

    🙂
