I've never met Cardinal Reciprocity. Where does he stand in the hierarchy of the SQL Inquisition?

The scary thing is, it almost makes sense.
Haven't had time to hit Simple Talk yet today so I missed that little gem.
I do like the author name. Complements to Tony on coming up with that one.

He's Cardinal Moden's pork chop holder. 😛

Too many authors in the field of relational theory have neglected the concept of Cardinal Reciprocity. This can cause a number of subtle problems with database design in terms of its derivability, redundancy, and consistency. . Increasingly, this little-understood aspect of relational theory, that emphasises the cardinality of the attributes of tuples in a relation and the reciprocity with isomorphic foreign key restraints, is becoming a hot forum topic.

Isn't there a web page that'll generate that kind of stuff for you? I think I read about one once.

I used to have a Dilbert program about 10 years ago. It had a Jargonator feature that after a few spins would come up with something like this.

Must not be a critical piece in the scope of things, huh.At least not to his boss :w00t:
Good grief, it's the White House window cleaner. Looking through his posts, he's always very polite and respectful but...this is a bit scary:
Thank you so much Rxxxxh
You are my good friend
If you come to the US or you come to Massachusetts, please stop at my house and we can hang out for fun.
my email xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx@hotmail.com

Wonder how much spam he's getting now?
Well ya know this guy freely admits to being a SQL novice and the language issues (didn't someone mention Babelfish?) indicate a different culture where swapping personal details might be more commonplace than with us uptight Yanks and Brits. Maybe he deserves a little more help...
Initially, I thought he was just a newbie willing to learn new things. That's why I came forward ('cause no one else was having any interest, that was obviously due to the way he posted his query & no table scripts, sample data etc.) and written all of the procedure for him with brief explanation of the logic used (see post here).
But later I came to know through his mail that he is actually a newbie in I.T. and needed to learn many more things than just T-SQL. And unfortunately, he is the only one working on his company's project (don't know whether it's true, but that's what he told me).
Anyways, I still think that he deserves a little more help and that too if he shows his willingness to learn and try things on his own.

We've tried to help him, repeatedly. He shows no interest in learning or thinking for himself and the way he posts indicates he just wants us to give him the answer.

Gail's right, Ramesh.
I applaud your attitude, but you will eventually find it is wasted on this particular person. I started out with the same intent towards helping him, giving him the benefit of the doubt, and spending a LOT of time on his issues. Eventually, I realized he wasn't interested in learning, just in getting free code.
I tried, politely, to get him to give us more complete information to work with, and suggested that he get a good introductory SQL book and do his homework. He doesn't even have the courtesy to respond to such suggestions. Now I won't even look at his posts.
But if he finds someone willing to do his work for him, he will flatter them and praise them as THE great expert on SQL. If you want him as your best friend, just give him what he wants. But don't take my word for it. Read through the links Gail posted and see the pattern for yourself.

I goofed and clicked on that link, Lynn, but slammed the window shut before I could read anything. I'm having a good morning and don't want to spoil it. 😛
