... if I ever come to an end!! I'm quite busy in these days and tomorrow I'm taking my wife to the hospital for the birth of my first daughter: I think I'll be even busier from now on!!
Congrats! Best wishes to you, your wife and your new addition!

BTW, remember, friends help you hide the body. Sayings for the young men that come to visit:
I've got 15 acres and a shovel, they'll never find the body.
Anything you do to her... I'm going to do to you...
You make her cry, I make you cry
I've got two daughters so I'll definitely keep those lines in mind. My now deceased old-school Italian uncle had one daughter and five sons. He'd supposedly begin introductions with the daughter's new boyfriends the same way each time - "if you pull it out, I'll cut it off". I've never had a need to use the phrase but, for my uncle, it apparently worked.

3NF-Boy got me ROFL with this response:w00t:. I can't wait to see Gus's answer. 😉No more waiting required. Let me know if I overdid it.
Oh my, I think I need a dictionary again 😉

English, dude. Speak English.[font="Verdana"]Perhaps we should make a point of following things like the international pirate week, or star wars day, and answer all questions in appropriate language?
(Hmmm, would changing the batch separator from "go" to "arrr!" work?)
I'm not sure there's an international surfer dude speak week though.
[/font]
I couldn't get it to work with the exclam on the end, but setting it to ARRR worked just fine.
I lived in California for 10 years (in Hollyweird), so every week is surfer dude week for me. I'm just so laid back that I've gone full circle to correct English. 🙂

Gus, you ever read any of Richard Lederer's stuff? "Anguished English", or "Get Thee To A Punnery"?
Great stuff. If you haven't, look it up, it'll have you crying with laughter.
One of my personal favorites is in the 'school excuses' section:
"Please excuse Johnny from school today, he has diarrhea and his boots leak"

Yes, I've seen those. Pretty funny stuff!

You might like this site - for each word you get right, they donate 10 grains of rice through the United Nations to end world hunger.
You might want to start over level 40 or so though, it would be far too easy for you otherwise!

I need you to give me a script that will automagically determine what records to delete from unspecified tables.I mean really, you want fries with that too?
I had seen that one after you had answered. Even better would be if the OP was using the TIMESTAMP (ROWVERSION) data type.

Really, Lynn, you're making this too complex.
First get a block level disk editing tool.
Find the space on the disk where the rows of the offending table are located.
Examine the rows in the editor.
Those which appear dusty or faded are the old ones.
Record the primary key information
Use the recorded information to delete the old rows.
How hard could it be???

The all-important mind reading script. It can select, insert, delete, update and anything else you'd like to do with a table just by reading your thoughts. :crazy:

Just in jest, might I suggest this script as a suitable one?
