    Andy,

    I've never tried what you are attempting, so I can't help you there... but having worked with both Oracle & SQL SPs, the only thing that comes to mind that...

    Michael,

    Thanks for your post/info with the "health care providers" stuff.  It was very informative for me (and I'm sure the others following this thread).  Your excerpts are right on the...

  • RE: Column Naming Conventions (rears it''''s ugly head again :)

    Ray (& everyone) thanks for all the responses so far!

    I would of course rather leave the table names out, but there are other "issues" at play here.  If I could...

    Tales from up north!  Not a DBA, and I live in Canada, so our tax deadline is April 30th.

  • RE: Review Rant

    Steve,

    Interesting topic... it's one that has come up in lots of ways... I.e. what is "journalism" really?!

    I think maybe you touched on this topic a while back in a way…...

  • RE: Can you use DATEDIFF in create table statements?

    About the data type, SQL Server determines it based upon what you provide as the calculation. That statement and more can be found at this link: http://www.winnetmag.com/Articles/Index.cfm?ArticleID=22831&DisplayTab=Article

  • RE: Can you use DATEDIFF in create table statements?

    Aaron,

    Thanks for your help.. that indeed does work, but you don't have to provide a datatype, etc for that calculated column then?  Or does it just "figure" that out?

    Frank,

    I agree...

    Good luck to your son!

    Only thing I noticed with the National Geographic Bee is that the contest is for US only.  Kinda weird considering that its focus should be world wide. ...
