    Semper in excretia, suus solum profundum variat

  • Works fine in SQL2000.. you'd get the start date column twice (once at start, once wherever it naturally sits in the order of columns on the table.. and order by would work just fine)

    *Raises fist at being accused of being wrong*

    :p

  • I've just realised. If someone reports a SQL Server bug to Microsoft, they can post it as a QOTD to see how much of a problem it is....

    Question: You're moving a data file to a new location on the third Thursday of a leap year, and realise it's a full moon tonight. Whilst the data is copying, you accidentally hit CTRL+FN+F10, then spill coffee on your keyboard. What is the result?

    a. Your server immediately shows a blue screen of death and collapses irretrievably in an expensive heap of scrap metal

    b. The data finishes copying fine

    c. You turn into a werewolf

    Subsequent forum comments:

    - Well, it works fine for me

    - Can't find it documented anywhere

    - The theoretical right answer should be c, so who cares what happens in practice

    - Well, it works fine for me

    - Hmm. Can see a difference between versions of SQL Server. Is this a bug?

    - Well, it works fine for me

    Semper in excretia, suus solum profundum variat

  • Yeah and what would happen if it were Oracle?

    Should that be a MS werewolf (mode80 or 90)? 😉

    Answer C would involve a vampire, 'cos the Oracle Corporation can get blood out of a stone 😉

    More comments:

    - This is a problem on Thursday 19th January 2068 (the next '3rd Thursday of a leap year which is also a full moon') so I think MS should urgently work on a fix and issue it as a forced hidden upgrade to all customers.

    - Well, it works fine for me

    - The questioner didn't specify whether the coffee was decaffeinated.

    P.S.: How can you tell I've got an interest in astronomy and various calendars?

    Since this won't occur until 2068 we are in the clear. The Mayan calendar says that Dec 21 2012 will be the end. I believe that corresponds whith our sun being in the center of the Galaxy. I guess that also takes care of the Social Security problems! 😉

  • Q we've all seen TNG - Its really you and Picard isn't it that destroys creation? come on now fess up!

    on a side note - bugger I though it was 23rd December 2012 - damn have to change the holidays I've got booked!

  • Picard is an arrogant.... I just opened the pathway. He gets the credit for the demise of your insignificant world. I have odds that your race doesn't make it to Dec 21, 2012, but if you do, the experience will be thrilling. 😀

    By the way what was the QOTD, anyways? Oh yeah it worke for me in 2000. But then again I am Q. 😉
