Do you mean for question writers?

There isn't anything, other than my memory of what I've asked.

It's problematic if more people write them, and I occasionally get something submitted that's close...

The administrators don't worry about closing topics. Sometimes there's a solution, sometimes not, sometimes there's a solution, but a few days later someone realizes they need more help.

From my experience...

Started college with:

semester 1 - LISP

semester 2 - APl

semester 3 - Fortran and assembly

semester 4 - C

Those were the days!

Current official level is SP2. There are 8 cumulative updates so far. I know people are happy with 6, not sure about 7 and 8. Depends on what you're running....

Also, I can start a program, open a port, say from an HTML page (java app, etc.) for any port, and use it, then close it, while I'm still running.

I'd say it depends on what the client needs. If you can pull it asynchronously, then do what makes sense. If they can...

And potentially another good one:

Does ISA create a new database every day?

Wow, that's kind of amazing.

Well, it makes sense. If it's "Y", this ensures you'll return "Y".

I'd second that and look to engage a consultant to review what is there. SQLCat can probably recommend someone.

The rebuild operation is logged. Bulk mode deals with bulk loading, it doesn't stop logging.

Use QA to generate the statement, but you'll still need to long query.

I think one has a few more options, but they work the same.
