    He offered $5.

    :laugh:!

    Did you answer this?

    I replied with my actual hourly rate (which seems lot to US people because of the exchange rate). Never heard back.

    Nope, that's right. Run it and see. πŸ˜‰

    Well I did try! :ermm:

    Once I have removed the line numbers and line breaks, I get this:

    EXEC(@s)

    [font="Courier New"]Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Line 1

    Incorrect syntax near 'ASCII'.[/font]

    Am I being thick here?

    @Roy: You just have to come to Germany.

    Hey Flo, remember: I'm not too far away...

    Let me know where and when. I'd assume an "Oktoberfest" invitation with accommodation and beverages included would just be appropriate πŸ™‚

    I'll cover my travel cost πŸ˜€

    Anybody else ready to join?

    Edit: btw: Congrats! πŸ™‚

    @Paul: Probably looks better in IE or Firefox πŸ˜‰

    It looks like my code got partially garbled when they tried to format it for the article. I have attached the actual code in a text file for your enjoyment. πŸ™‚

    :laugh:

    The in-line version became slightly garbled too!

    declare @s-2 nvarchar(999) Set @s-2='Ε’''~β€š,ROWS~€ŒŒ~}and~|le~{char(1~\e ~Q Se|ct ~Jexec sp_~4 BEGIN /$ 6 Jspaceused &Ε’?&&,@where}=€} o.namot lik\&Ε’#[0-9]%&&,@postcomm}=6tQdb_name(),*: De|te:€ END Ε’, Ε’^Ε’QTOP 5 BAS\,[$] ,7β€š:t order by cast(|ft(7,|n(7)-3) as int) desc<' WHILE ASCII(@s)99SELECT @s-2=REPLACE(Right(@s,Len(@s)-(Charindex('~',@s))),left(@s,1),substring(@s,2,Charindex('~',@s)-2)) EXEC(@s)

    [font="Courier New"]Msg 173, Level 15, State 1, Line 1

    The definition for column 'BASvarchar' must include a data type.[/font]

    Luckily, the attachment worked just fine, and is just outrageous - but so cool.

    Appreciating it is one thing - understanding it will have to wait until after work πŸ™

    Accommodation for Oktoberfest should be okay. I cannot guarantee the beverages but I know people who know people πŸ˜‰

    @Paul: Probably looks better in IE or Firefox πŸ˜‰

    Oh - ha ha ha πŸ˜‰

    Actually it renders just fine in Chrome 2 - albeit somewhat faster than in Internet Exploiter or FireFix πŸ˜›

    How far are you from Berlin? There's a very, very, very, very small chance that I may be in that area in Nov.

    Nothing against Chrome. I like it, the only really missing feature is "mouse gestures" in my opinion. I cannot work any more without this geek toy.

    Just remembered a thread about two month ago, you posted some code with font size 5 (I think). It looked fine in Chrome as you wrote but it hurt in eyes with any other brother.

    Edit: LOL. "Brother" should be "browser" πŸ˜€

  • Oh boy. So now "standard SQL" has been invoked.

    Jeff's gonna absolutely love this - I just hope Carl likes pork.

    About 600km (almost other side of Germany). Let me know if you come to Berlin. Maybe I'll visit some friends there.
