I dont know what IFCode is sorry.

I am using SQL server 2008 so assume that is MS SQL and not MYSQL as per my title apologies as I said I am new to all of this and this.

When typing a post you will see these on the left of the edit window...

Using these shortcuts will allow you format your text to do stuff like turn this:

SELECT TOP 5 Col1, Col2, Col3 FROM SomeTable WHERE Col3 = 'Stuff'

Into this:

SELECT TOP 5 Col1, Col2, Col3 FROM SomeTable WHERE Col3 = 'Stuff'

Just highlight the text you want to format and then click on the desired shortcut. It will automatically wrap it with the right markup.

Much easier to read especially when the code can be verbose! 😉

Cheers,
