    OKay ...

    Yes I did learn something here, about a star symbol being entered by an implicit conversion. All the more reason to condemn "tricks" like assigning an integer to a char or varchar that is not long enough.

    The post is OK, on the caveat that instructions be added that anyone producing code like this needs to be identified, taken in the street and shot. And his house burned down. Preemptive strike to avoid the grief of being stuck later when the guilty party is out of reach.

    [sarcasm] Think Green - if you're already going to burn down his house, save the bullet. Let's not be wasteful. Think of the street cleaners. [/sarcasm]
