  • RE: Need Some Help with Basics

    Sorry - I hadn't noticed the original date. But this is clearly an Oracle query and pointing the guy to BOL is really no help at all.

    Edit: You also might ask for clarification what RDMS this class is about...

    Question 7 gives it away, and it ain't this one;-)

    I see you spotted the "twin post"...

  • RE: The BIT data type

    I tried running the code and an error message popped up saying

    "Your approach to SQL is wrong. BIT flags are things we left behind in assembly language. " 😉

  • RE: Practice Questions for 70-441 & 70-442

    It looks as though that's a bit of a "spam" page. There's no evidence that the product actually exists, just an "Enter your email address and we'll be in touch"...

  • RE: Bad SQL Jokes

    Good code, Geoffrey. Glad to see it does not discriminate on grounds of looks, age or indeed gender. Still, as it gets close to closing time even a DBA will...

  • RE: Fascination with numbers

    11/11/11 is also my birthday 😉 But I'll only be 11 if you work in base 50 🙁

    That consecutive primes thing really IS interesting!

  • RE: Fascination with numbers

    I'm a bit like that. I live in the UK where tomorrow's date may be written 11311. Not only is that palindromic, it's also a prime.

  • RE: Bad SQL Jokes

    Just thought of another one:

    What did Bill Sykes's girlfriend say when she put her coat on?

  • RE: user defined function

    Yes, you just need to prefix it with "dbo." then it will be recognised.

  • RE: Primary Key based on Function

    Thanks, both.

    I see what you mean but it does look as though both of these are very much row-based. Perhaps, given that the value of record(n) always depends on the...

  • RE: Today's Random Song!

    Not a patch on Kinky Boots by Patrick Macnee and Honor Blackman. Not only did the song contain a reference to "sexy little schoolgirls" but it also suggested that boots...

  • RE: Today's Random Song!

    Unfortunately I didn't get onto pints until around 1979 by which point they had gone up to a massive 34p each. But yes, the musical taste had also improved by...

    I remember buying that in Boots with my 40p pocket money. I would say thanks for the memory but I was kind of pleased...

  • RE: Month Name

    DATENAME() is fine for SQL Server 2005 and later. However the article stated that it was for SQL Server 2000 so is of use to those of us working on...

  • RE: Why is the QOTD page trying to make me download xd_proxy.css?

    It seems to be a bug associated with the Facebook "Like" button on the page and IE8. Hopefully it's been fixed now but if you Google it you'll find that...
