    I'm still struggling with reading most of the questions. I think it's because I'm such a noob.

    Nah. You're not the only one. That's the original reason for this Thread's existence.

    p.s. apologies for bad spelling in ths thread or others. I'm working on a laptop with a partially working screen and partially working keyboard.

    On topic: I have trouble reading the questions sometimes when they're in nice clear, easy to understand English.

  • And apparently I'm no longer able to work the link buttony thing... If only it were a fiber optic laser beam assembler... I'd be fine.

    Somebody has to tell me how I get one of these.

  • I keep trying to tell y'all that a whizbang fibre-optic laser beam DISassembler is preferable. Like the lightsabre it's an elegant weapon... not as clumsy or random as a blaster.

  • Nah, only 24 hours between posts. We just haven't hit another question to go off on. Although there was one today where the OP finally posted DDL and test data, but it appeared to be using ORACLE (varchar2 datatype).
