True. The problem is that I haven't been able to directly use any of the code Mr. Celko has posted recently because it doesn't parse. He is supposed to be a SQL guru and he posts code like many of the OPs seeking help. I have posted code that had errors at times, and when I found out or was informed of the issue I have gone back to correct my code. Mr. Celko doesn't even do that.
I think Joe has had some health problems recently (connected with this eyes I think). Perhaps that explains the odd typo or missing parenthesis, I don't know for sure. Anyway, I should stop now before this gets off topic 🙂
