    Thank you for this helpful article.

    One further issue i have is i don't know how to actually post in SQL code.

    I see people have it added and it seems to have been formatted in some way with a dark background.

    When i try to simply copy paste as plain text and then post i always gets a connection reset message, which i assume is protection against SQL injection?

    Any pointers on this would help.

    I have tried ctrl, k which offered to insert a hyperlink.

    Thanks,

    What you do is wrap your code in [ code="sql"]query here [ /code] tags (remove the space between the square bracket and the code / /code)

    It may be your company trying to protect itself against people posting code from its computers. You may find you have to do things like this to get it to allow you to post:CRE ATE TABLE

    DR OP TABLE

    DEC LARE @variable

    Hi,

    I'm afraid i am a little dense this morning.

    What does this mean? I don't see any option of adding code tags.

    What you do is wrap your code in [ code="sql"]query here [ /code] tags (remove the space between the square bracket and the code / /code)

    Is there perhaps a way to see an image of what this looks like?

    You can either type those tags as you see them, or you can select them from the IFCode Shortcuts section, just to the left of where you type, in the Post Reply window.

    Ahhhhhhh.... so i can select the SQL code tag, then where it says "sql",

    i insert my SQL between the "" and post?

    #1889127

    Not quite. The "sql" is telling the website that it's SQL code so that it can splash it with lots of pretty pinks and blues. No, type where the cursor lies after you select the tag, between the first "]" and the second "[". Give it a try!

    Firstly, this looks like homework. Secondly, you're better off creating a new topic for your question(s). Create a new topic in a relevant forum; not (ironically) in a topic that tells you how to post a question properly.

    In your new topic, let us know what you've researched already. What parts of the each you don't understand and where do you specifically feel you don't have the whole picture. Are there particular areas that you want some more information on? Maybe you want something worded differently so that you understand them better as some of what you've read somewhere doesn't quite make sense or isn't clear to you (citate what you don't, so someone can explain is a more "user friendly" language) You might be better creating a couple of topics, as there are several different areas in your questions.

    Hi, I think now and then I'm guilty of these things.  What does "bump a post" mean?  I understand cross posting.

    "Bumping a post" is posting solely to increase its visibility by bringing it to the top of the list.
