sometimes it's fun having a good ol' mud-slinging match with someone who is absolutely sure they are right. And sometimes that's even me!We can arrange one of those if you want. All part of the service, no extra charge. 😉
Oh yeah! And mud is the just the start of the slinging. Stones, pointed sticks & sharpened steel will follow. No issues there.

All right, I've been essentially offline for 3 days and there are close to 100 posts on this thread AND IT has become self-aware!My question is, was The Thread the millionth member?
Is RBarryYoung The Thread's father? Has it gone over to the Dark Side?
I'm pretty sure it Was Jeff's child... or maybe Jeff's & Barry's together... I think it had a pork chop.

would you post the URL for the thread you quoted me on, please?[font="Verdana"]For the URL of the thread... just look up. Yep, at the top of your browser. Where it says "Address". No, without the double quotes. No, that's your e-mail. You want the browser. No, wrong browser window. The one where you were reading this message. What do you mean you weren't reading the message?[/font]
Heh... Oh, THAT one. 😉
A DBA should be able to answer ALL of those questions without having to look them up on a forum... that's what BOL and Google are for. I didn't say anything about the DBA having to know the answers off the top of his/her head. Even on an interview, a good DBA will always have the correct answer... "I don't remember off the top of my head, but I know where to find the answer." 😉

I'd say that depends on if you got the correct results.:w00t:[font="Verdana"]Yup. I added a cross join as well. And the full outer joins are on three common table expressions. Fun! :cool:[/font]
No worries as long as you haven't added a multi-statement table valued user defined function... especially a wizbang one.

But, geez, putting it all in that wizbang multi-statement TVF made it so dynamic!

Sorry, Jeff gets all the credit for the pork chop themes, well before I came along too. I just like to eat them. 🙂 And catch them in my mouth: :w00t:

Do I get a prize for reading every post on The Thread before posting?
...and the answer to what you were thinking is "probably about 5 hours spread over 3 days". 🙂
Seriously though :w00t: having read most of the referenced threads I think that several people here would be in line for sainthood for the way they perisist in trying to help people...

And one of the (many) things I learned from The Thread is that it's a lot quicker to read a series of posts if I change forum settings to 50 posts per page! 🙂

Perhaps I can find new ways to motivate them.
