    Wow. This one must take some prize.

    :-P:-P:-P

    Forgive my cruel chuckle at your expense.

    Especially after the newest development. Don't even think it's SQL Server. More likely Oracle, at least from the look of the procedure that the same user has posted - http://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic831043-8-1.aspx

    He's definitely not qualified for what he was asked to do.

    How about you teaching basics to this guy

    Session 1 -- Using Books Online

    Session 2 -- Using Management Studio

    Session 3 -- Parsing T-SQL Statements

    Session 4 -- Copying T-SQL Code and pasting in SSC.

    Edited: Oops came to know that is not even SQL Server.

    Not the usual, but I could use help with this one: http://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic830994-1199-1.aspx

    I am 80 miles from Philadelphia, need to know the time in order to plan.

    Please post the site info here, when available.

    Looking forward to it.

    Does any one have information about a SQL Server User Group near Harrisburg, PA. I tried searching but could not find any. Any help is much appreciated!

    If you can't find one, start one. There are several people on this site that have done so, and I'm sure they would provide you some guidance.

    I thought about that idea, but was not sure I would qualify to be a PASS chapter founding member. I am not yet that level of speaking in communities. So wanted to initially join a SSUG and plan about setting up one later.

    Thanks Alvin and Lynn, I shall start thinking about it.

    Thanks once again.

    Thanks Alvin and Lynn, I shall start thinking about it.

    Thanks once again.

    You're welcome.

    First, I would look here: http://www.sqlpass.org/PASSChapters.aspx

    I looked but didn't see any, but I'm not as familiar with the area so I may have missed something. Also keep in mind that not all SQL related User groups are official PASS Chapters.

    Next, try http://www.UserGroupSupportServices.com This is the "official" support community for "Microsoft technology" related user groups.

    Next, try contacting people from other nearby groups. They may know.

    Contact the people at PASS when you think you might be ready to start your own PASS Chapter. I'd start with Blythe Morrow. They'll let you know what you need to do and they'll help you get things going.

    Don't be afraid to ask questions here. I'm only 1 of at least 4 leaders that frequent the thread.

    Here is my attempt, now give me my 100K

    =

    Thus we have added a column with a view to an Oracle of Delphi, and all of this will stored in SQL Server...

    Bru,

    Definitely check out the PASS web site like Alvin mentioned and you can also contact blythe.morrow@sqlpass.org as she is the person in the PASS office that works with chapters. She will definitely try to help you find a group and if there isn't one help you start a group. It's actually part of her job. You can say that I gave you her email, I don't know if it'll help or hurt, but she does know me.
