Oh come now, the worst EVER?  I'm sure I could think of worse questions...

Yeah, I actually ran this one in QA, something I don't normally do, because I figured there had to be a catch somewhere.  I guess this one was to make...

Hm, I think the problem is that this was a question as much about the query designer in Enterprise Manager as it was a SQL question.  He was very clear about...

Yeah definitely, this isn't even a typo it's just flat-out wrong.  Anyone have any explanations?  Are we all crazy?

Right, in this case it's should not.  Nothing technically prevents you from modifying the subscriber table in one-way replication, it's just a bad idea.

I'm all for trick questions, it's just slightly annoying that the question specifically asked you NOT to try it first.  The only reason I can think of as to why someone would...

I agree Bob, this question is a great argument for explicit code.  I don't blame the product though, computers are only as effective as the people who tell them what...

Arggh, I'm getting really annoyed with having to second guess what the author means with these questions.  I knew that you could have an ORDER BY clause in a view...

Hmm, that's a pretty crucial typo, but I guess you're right, it probably was.  Although there's no way you could have known that until you tried to answer the question.  At least with...

Yes, that's why I answered no, this is an infinite loop any way you slice it and I doubt that's going to be very successful at reducing load on your...

Sheesh, tough crowd.  I thought this question was pretty straightforward.

Oh, sorry, me, I am the crazy one... I just noticed it is in fact different, my apologies...
