  • RE: Declared Hard coded Variables

    It would help, just a tad, if we had a clue what the definition of the Times table looks like and what the data in it consists of.

  • RE: Are the posted questions getting worse?

    My general guideline is 'new question -> new thread'.

    If I open a thread and notice that the OP is a year old, I probably won't look any further.

  • RE: Alternavite to RDP on Prod server

    You asked how to connect to Management Studio that's running on the server. You don't. You run SSMS locally and connect to the SQL instance from there.
