  • RE: Talent or Skill?

    Grant Fritchey (12/18/2009)


    I ask you, is it realistic to add & drop the same user 15 times in a row? Of course not. However, if you do it, it caused...

  • RE: Talent or Skill?

    Well, to give the classic answer, it depends.

    I think that there is some level of skill involved. While you always could be one of the 12,000 monkeys getting lucky early...

    Frost

    First time I've seen it on the cars in quite some time.

  • RE: Any SQL gurus / n00bs that are closet musicians?

    Well I've just added the Harmonix Fender knockoff to my arsenal and worked my way through "All Along the Watchtower (dylan)" last night with my daughter singing. It was great.

    I...

  • RE: Defining a Database

    I tend to agree with Jay. I think a database is kind of a collection of information, and a file system, as well as card catalog qualify. So what do...

  • RE: Are the posted questions getting worse?

  • RE: Temp Tables

    I would agree that #2 is a little incomplete. That answer has been edited and points are being awarded back to everyone that has answered to date.

  • RE: Architecture Principles

    Thanks, and you two are probably two of those "successful" people because of your principles.

  • RE: How to identify the ID of row which has been modified?

    Even with this, I'd argue you won't know.

    If I update row 12 now and you update row 16 in a minute, we'll only see the last update (row 16)....
