I think that would have required some pretty heavy commenting.
Like with a hammer?

How many of you all travel to Europe for Pass?
PASS US if I can afford it (and it's an expensive flight from where I am). Fortunately I don't need a US visa (British passport) so I'm spared that problem. Good thing too, immigration's enough of a problem without needing to beg for a visa as well.

Hahahaha Lynn, Maybe you should not have put Drop Table statements in the end. :hehe:Maybe you should edit your post and state that you should not use the Drop Table statements. 😉
I prefaced my post that the code provided was test code. I did go in and editted the code to indicate that the drop table statements were for my test tables. Probably go back and add addtional comments as well.

I think that was a good move Lynn. 🙂
I wish I could go to Pass or other SQL Group meetings in US. That is much more closer to me. But I dont want the hassle of Visa. It is way too much if a pain.

Wow....I think this one needs a bit of alone time.
I could think of a better fitting avatar they could use.:hehe:

Patience.
It's like the old joke:
Q: How many psychiatrists does it take to change a light bulb?
A: Only one. But it takes a very long time and the light bulb has to want to change.

Lol.

I reluctantly reached that decision last week. I glanced at your link. He is still hung up on numbering rows so that he can walk through them a row at a time like elements of an array.

He is a "work in progress". Did you happen to catch his other thread? Someone suggested he use a cursor. He warned the poster about the can of worms he (or she) was opening with that suggestion. Looks like we did start opening his eyes. Now, if we can only get him to post more to help us help him when he asks.

Actually, based on another thread, his real problem is that he is trying to mix embedded SQL with his C# code to do the work instead of separating the data manipulation from his code. I'll have to find that other thread and post the link to it here.

I'd argue his real problem appears to be a lack of communication. He doesn't appear to understand how to frame a problem or question.

Good Lord. Do you have six siblings, by any chance?
Oh, bless you! Didn't mean to make you sneeze!
Nope, I'm an only child, and they wouldn't let me into the union. Said I was too tall. Blatent discrimination if you ask me.
Just as a note, the medical definition of a dwarf is person with an adult height of 4'10" or shorter. Luckily I made it past that point. 😀

Yes indeed. If I hadn't written my latest submission 4 weeks ago, you would think that he's where I got the idea for people who "cannot describe requirements, except in terms of a procedure." 🙂
