SET option hierarchy

  • Comments posted to this topic are about the item SET option hierarchy

  • Good one, Thanks.

    M&M

  • I disagree with the answers (2nd time in the same week). Here's why:

    3. A hint overrides a SET option

    4. A database option overrides an instance option and a SET option overrides a database option, but a hint does not override a SET option

    Those are 2 contradicting statements. The correct answer therefore cannot be:

    5. All of the above

    Good catch, the author might have missed it due to oversight 🙂

  • A confused question with no right answer. All of the above indeed :rolleyes:

  • As pointed out above, the 3rd and 4th answer are mutually exclusive.

    So "all of the above" is pretty impossible.

    But I like the question in itself.

    Exactly what i was going to say! Cant be correct.

  • I propose to switch the answers #4 and #5. The answer All of above becomes correct in this order.

    I vote for that too :). In present form, there is no right answer. This happens time to time on QotD, no big deal really thanks to the following discussions, which usually clear things out and adds learning value :).

  • Once upon a time I had a dream to write a QotD with a correct answer "It depends". I succeeded.

    Now I'm going to imagine one with two answers "All of above" and "All of beneath" :w00t:
