    I agree with your reasons Jeff, but I don't see any reason why are there only id columns instead of issue_id, jrn_id, details_id, etc.

  • RE: How to get week of a mont with input parameter date.

    In 2005 there are TVF (Table Valued Functions)

    Another option:

    max(table1.column3),

    'Yes',
