I apologize once again if that will help.
I would have removed this post if it was in my hands, but please give me a chance to explain that I was not demanding a ready made answer. Who am I to ask all these technical experts to do my work? I am a humble SQL learner and nothing else.
I simply want to say that when one finds a problem tricky and someone else starts with a reply saying 'this is not all that tricky' on a public forum , it doesn't feel nice. It can discourage people who are not experts.
I have high regards for this forum which has helped me to grow as a SQL developer over the years, so I will not put any post that will harm the reputation of this forum.
From my side, this is my last reply to this particular post.
Thanks
OK, I understand where you are coming from. This is just a case of misinterpretation, I believe. I am certain that Cadavre was not trying to suggest anything negative about you, merely that the problem itself was not too difficult.
Most people here understand that experienced SQL developers will be more adept at solving such problems than newcomers & that that does not mean that they are smarter. They've just been there before.
If you haven't even tried to resolve your issue, please don't expect the hard-working volunteers here to waste their time providing links to answers which you could easily have found yourself.
