Are the posted questions getting worse?

it must be because of all our discussions about designing and using tables, and needing more space for our tables. 😛

For everyone who didn't read Marvel comics back in the day, I present to you the notorious No Prize award explanation.

I never thought of it that way. Now it makes sense to advertise kitchens in a SQL Server site. All those people talking about tables and having nice views.

Who deleted that article about cheap kitchens in Basildon?! That's basically round the corner from me! :crying:

or live-stream in a url in the body of the post
That seems to be common in some of the different spams I've seen.
And does linkedin belong in a url in the body of a post?
I could see someone possibly using in a signature, but have a hard time seeing where it would belong in the body of a post. - Greg Edwards-268690 - Friday, January 20, 2017 12:36 PM
Posting a link to an article one found on LinkedIn?
- Lynn Pettis - Friday, January 20, 2017 12:48 PM
What I see most of the time in these spam posts is a whole list of links. The entire post has nothing but links. Surely it wouldn't be too difficult to at least flag posts like this from users with say < 10 points and more than 1 link? At least then a person could look at them before they get splattered on the site.

We've been down this avenue before (coming up with great suggestions for filtering – we'd be spam-free by now if some of them had been implemented). I am really hoping that this new software has the flexibility to accommodate ad hoc rules like this.
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.

Yeah it kind of feels like groundhog day all over again. :crying:

Yes, University of East Anglia. I was there from beginning of April 1969 to end of March 1970 (I left because top of the Junior Lecturer scale was a pretty miserable income - I'd taken the job after GEC took over EEC and closed down NRL, despite better offers from GEC and from elsewhere in industry, because I wanted to do research; but after a year decided the pay was really unacceptable) and Iann Barron's CTL offered me a third more (that was equivalent to 4 scale points above top of Junior Lecturer) with the prospect of a large rise after the first year if I fit in (a genuine offer - my salary at the beginning of April 1971 was 45% above on my starting salary at the beginning of April 1970) and a promise that I would be involved to a reasonable extent in research (also genuine).
I didn't come cross the music department while I was at UEA, for some reason I had an unmusical year (the only one of my life).Tom

Made the same suggestion. Shoot... I even offered to write an instead of trigger that would knock that type of spam out of the sky.

RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.

Wow, no post for a day.
So here in central Ohio the weather has been warm and rainy. Got my outside Christmas decorations down after waiting two weeks for medical reasons.
Anyway, so you do not have to read my boring post, let us hear from others. Hows that article going? Has Jeff secretly been programming CURSORs? 🙂 Now that is a rumor.

My article is expanding and might be a two parter or a three parter, depending on how much code I throw in there.
I've actually figured out (FINALLY) how to read the XML of SSIS packages in MSDB, so I'm kinda excited. New code to add to it!

I just noticed that we can no longer when a user last logged in from a forum post. You can click on their avatar to view their profile which shows you that. But it is sometimes helpful (or at least interesting) in an old thread to see when some of the participants last were on the site.

You can hover over their avatar to see it (not ideal, but at least you don't need to open a new page).
