    Someone please tell me that this is not how Paul knocked out 3000 points in one month. I had ***-umed he was just racking up all of the QotDs ... 😛

    Nah. I do post in here from time to time - but much less than on the thread.

    Just had an urge to go A-Z 🙂

    About 1000 came from QotD - the vast majority are proper answers to proper threads.

    Wow. You're a better man than me, Gunga Din. :w00t:

    Good idea - but I am almost done now. You should have suggested that sooner.

    Heh, well this strategy works best for me if I am the only one pursuing it... 😀

    There should have been 26. Unless I missed one, or the size of the alphabet changed mid-way through...?

    English has an unfair advantage when it comes to making spelling a nightmare. Gaelic has ony 18 letters, so it can't get anything like as complicated.

    If someone sent a random Gaelic word beginning with each letter of the alphabet it would only be 17 posts because one letter can't occur at the beginning of a word. Besides, hardly anyone would understand them.

    Is that a hippo that uses long words?

    neither - it's just that XACT_ABORT isn't a word.

    :ermm: What is it then?

    :ermm: What is it then?

    Take your pick between:

    1) Two words separated by a line level medium bar

    2) An incantation or spell used by Wizards of T-SQL to instruct their familars (the dataengine demons, which are far more intelligent that the Maxwell's demons of the Wizards of Physics) whether to destroy a full transaction or only the current statement when certain failures occur while the demons are running. It has no effect on reaction to errors when the demons are walking, but as they only do this during compilation and not while doing anything with real data the Wizards do not object.

    3) A bizarre abbreviation and a word separated by an underscore.

    I don't think Steve would accept that as a QOTD, even if it was "check all that are correct". Pity. 😛

    edit: spelling

    Tom
