  • RE: TRY...CATCH

    Nice straightforward question.

    I find it a little irritating that try...catch is banned in multi-statement functions; I like to have clean eror management as much as possible, and cases where it...

  • RE: Number of Rows

    Thanks for the 2012 question. I'm not sure why I would ever use CHOOSE. I would usually join to a reference table, or use a case statement, or create...

    My typical (average) percentage incorrect has been close to 40% - and discussions have gotten hot and heavry.

    Nice clear straightforward question.

    Good to see a question on this new feature.

  • RE: SQL JOINS

    Sort of easy but irritating - seemed a bit pointless.

    I completely disagree.

    I haven't done any database design that really matters for a few years, but I would do something very different from your idea.

    Even if people were just making random guesses
