  • RE: Normalization Question

    I need definitions for the source tables and a clear explanation of what end result you're trying to get.

    Here's part of what you posted as a sample result:

    Program,Year,Major

    Education,2006,Math

    Education,2007,Biology

    Education,2008,NULL

    Education,2009,NULL

    Education,2010,NULL

    Why would you...

  • RE: Trigger Help??

    In your sub-query, use "inserted" instead of "EncoreCompanyT.dbo.LotTransactions". In triggers, you have two "tables" called "inserted" and "deleted". "deleted" has the "before" data, "inserted" has the "after" data....

  • RE: OPENQUERY -How do you tell it NOT to convert a column

    You'll need to search for "IMEX" online, with regard to Excel data import. Try that, it'll get you what you need.

    There is a large bit of irony in someone saying my only flaw is humility.

    The whole point of the question is to see if the individual:

    1. Can admit shortcomings
