  • RE: Are the posted questions getting worse?

    I "answered" this post, but I didn't provide a solution to the guy. If someone else would like to take a swing at providing a possible solution for him, he...

  • RE: Optimizing UDF calls in SP.

    You want an honest answer? Don't do this. Don't use functions in this manner. I've seen an entire application written exactly the way you described. It looked great and when...

    clean, used books? give me a battered, dirty, bent copy any day, as long as all the pages are in there!

  • RE: Updating Records

    Sorry, WITH X AS (SELECT), is the syntax for a common table expression, CTE.
