    Ten thousand posts isn't that far off actually. All it takes is one hot topic to bring out a lot of posts.

    One hot topic? I wonder how many posts we'll get in here during, and immediately after, the PASS conference.

    To quote Pete Puma "Oh, three or four." gazillion.

  • Have a great weekend guys!

    Roy, near as I can tell the conversation following Lynn's dynamic tally table article has been diverting posts away from The Thread.

    Looks like the OP was trying to generate dynamic SQL.

    Edit:

    I went back to read the thread. Call me guilty of trying to answer before reading all the posted answers.

    duh!!!

    I don't have a problem with it, personally. I know I'm probably not the best person to say that having asked for opinions on the stuff i'm making and getting a dressing-down, but I think things that benefit the community as a whole have to be good, and deserve at least a mention...

    Considering the forum it was posted, and the content, I don't have a problem. Of course I won't be attending, Florida is just too far to travel to buy a signed book that I'd never use (at least I don't think I would).

    Is this fair use of the forums by the way?

    Well we might soon know. Sent an email to the web master for SSC, (since Steve is on vacation unitil I think Oct 5th) lets see what he/she thinks about it. To me it was a blantant advertisement for the gullible who might think it is being recommended by SSC

    If everything seems to be going well, you have obviously overlooked something.

  • Was just asking because they guy who "advertised" his free tool, just to get some feedback a few weeks ago (forgot his name and exactly what it was) got bitterly flamed for doing so.
