    Roy, have you been keeping up with it? Or is 20-20 not your thing?

    I have been keeping up with it. Seems like Sri Lanka and South Africa are the best team out there.

    Yep and unless India do something special this evening SL and SA will be in different semi finals!

    We should be in for 3 cracking matches for the semi's and final! Both Pakistan and Windies are blowing hot and cold and SL and SA are being solid as ever....

    And we all know who's going to win, right? 😀

  • Gail, I think it will be Sri Lanka that is going to take it. SA has no clue how to play spinners.. 🙂 They are struggling against Indians... 🙂

    But I would love to see SA win atleast one Major cup. 🙂

    The requirement to alias a table variable for UPDATE is not spectacularly well documented in BOL. A quick skim over the entry for the UPDATE statement revealed nothing to me - I may have missed it, but I don't think so. It is logical once you think about it, but I don't think it is obvious.

    It is logical. But, it's also an undocumented feature (it's not to be found in BOL or any Microsoft document I've ever seen). With that in mind, lots of folks say to never use undocumented features because they could change anytime without notice.

    Digging up the past, I know, however...

    I just got word from the documentation people. The lack of the UPDATE <alias> was simply an oversight and it will be corrected in a future version of BoL. Apparently it was documented in both the 6.5 and 7 docs, but somehow fell out of the SQL 2000 revision and was never added back.

    In fact we have a fun few weeks coming up, 2 weeks of Wimbledon where the entire nation bands together and all become tennis fans and forget all about football (soccer), and then 3 to 4 weeks where all of England becomes Cricket fans (and forget about football)...

    Then of course it's back to the status quo and it's football football foootball for 40 odd weeks!

    Rodders...

    so true 😀

    Yes, you can get to it directly from the appropriate forum and from the active threads link, but it does not show up when looking at the Recent Posts|Posts added today list. Or at least it doesn't show up on the first page as I would expect as there are posts to it more recently than some of the "newest" posts currently in that list...

    I don't think you're looking in the right place, or you're looking at a cached page.

    Same here, getting updated lists of posts from the Posts Added Today link, but this topic does not appear. It used to, but for some reason it no longer does. Perhaps it's just grown too large? That or it's trying to hide itself as it prepares to take over the world...
