What is BOL?

Sorry I am new to the board and see it referenced quite often.
Thanks,

Books Online. The provided documentation on SQL Server. You can get an updated copy at:

Or if you have installed Microsoft SQL Server, you should be able to find it at:
START>Programs>Microsoft SQL Server>Books OnLine

As I have referenced you in another thread to BOL (Books Online), let me say sorry. Sometimes when you use a kind of technical slang each day you miss how strange that might sound to other people.
As Brian has provided the download link, let me just add, that BOL is in almost any case the first place to look for information.
If you don't find it there, test this forum

...or if you don't understand what you read there.
I see I've been upgraded to 2 star frequent poster. I'd be proud, except I'm sure it's automatic at 50 posts

Do you think it really matters how much post one has. It says nothing about the quality of the posts. There are certain members here around (I won't name them, so don't ask) who have by far less posts than me, but whom I consider true Gurus!

I agree with Frank. Post count is nice to show overall contributions. But the guy with a single post might have the answer everyone needs.

I'm trying to think of a funny "alter acronym" for BOL but just cant think of one right now.
Posts...I just enjoy reading all the good stuff here. I feel like I know you guys as your personalities come throuugh in the replies to posts.
I make it a point to read through them for an hour a day. I've learned a lot from you all, THANK YOU!
Maybe one day well all meet and have a beer or something?

Yes, the posts are great. I usually check at least once a day to see what Frank is up to.

These kinds of responses to a seemingly elementry question (at least for people who have worked with SQL Server for an extended period of time) are why I like this forum. Rather than slam someone new to the software for a chink in their knowlege pool, advanced posters take time to give kind answers.
Good job! I like the professional atmosphere.

I ageee with shew01. I too have posted many a questions that might seem trivial to experts, but my questions have only been answered with great help and wonderful tips
THANK YOU ALL!!

This 'professional atmosphere' is something I consider a MUST. I don't see any reason why it should be different.
