    If you don't have time to do it right, when will you have time to do it over?

  • Good one, thanks

  • A lot of reading, but a nice question which will certainly teach those who answer incorrectly.

    Thanks

    If everything seems to be going well, you have obviously overlooked something.

    Thanks

    +1 - thanks!

  • Nice question and I definately learned something, but quite an awful format 🙂

    (I had to copy paste each answer into SSMS so I could read it better)

  • Yes, sorry for the formatting of the answers. This is my 1st QoD and I couldn't find how to format the answers. So I put them in as best as I could. But the end-result is indeed terrible. Lesson learnt for a next time: put the options in the text and in the answer fields just ask for #1, #2, #3 or #4.

    That is indeed the best option. The formatting options for the question are adequate; for the answer options, formatting is non-existant.

    Thanks for submitting a great question, and I hope to see more questions coming from you in the future!

    That is indeed the best option. You can type in the answers in SSMS and take a screenshot. That way we all have the advantage of the color coding 🙂 (and it makes it a bit harder to just run the statements).

    Thanks again for the question, hopefully the first of many to come!

  • Good question.

  • :). Yes, that's how this question got to be: I did it wrong myself. And so far almost half of the people who tried, had it wrong too. To their avail, the ill-formatted answers don't help them...

    Once more, thanks for your assistance.

  • Tough question. I missed it but learned something today.

  • Good question

    Had to come back to this one a couple of times before being sure I was right

  • Great question, thanks.
