(which is really just an old fork of Sybase).
Ouch. I suspect that Microsoft would wince at that. People have, in the past, called me an 'old fork': once.:-)

Oops! I've corrected the spelling.
With the Speed Phreak challenge, the entries that give the wrong answer are eliminated from the final results. The test harness compares the result...

Curiously, this very thing happened to me just after Larry drew this comic strip. I'd been editing an existing script in SSMS and went off to watch a DVD. When...

...I really want to know more details about such a shocking statement as you have made. Please elaborate.
I rate PostgreSQL quite highly, and my friends who use it say it...

That good DBA cussedness in the face of problems: by far the best medicine. A very inspiring article

By coincidence, one of the 'Coders At Work' listed in the offending list has just been interviewed by Richard Morris for Simple-Talk. This is Simon Peyton Jones, who is is...

Funny you should mention that, but I know a lot of grey-muzzle database developers, brought up with ML, who are getting excited about F#, as it gives functional programmers a...

Yes, I enjoyed the article too. It has really got me thinking.

INSERT INTO @xmlEdgeTbl

It is an interesting twist on a popular technique. The only point where I was a bit doubtful was to use EXECUTE sp_xml_preparedocument to get the edge table. Do...
