    Thanks Luis,

    I feel like I've been stuck in sql purgatory, just barely knowing enough to get by. I'm really hoping to make the leap to a real developer. I welcome any recommendations.

    Any code you write is a recommendation from you to the next developer to work on the same system. Do the best you can in the time you've been given.
