I am getting ready to do the third edition of SQL FOR SMARTIES this month. If anyone has an SQL programming technique, trick or tip that they would like to see in the book, drop me an email.
You get a virtual beer and your name in the book. Even better, if you have an improvement on something in the second edition, you get two virtual beers and a chance to humilate me in my own book! I know that this is not exactly the newsgroup for Standard SQL programming, but you guys seem to reference the book fairly often in postings. I am looking for code that is Standard SQL-92 or higher, but if you do not know Standard SQL, then use poprietary code that maps into Standard SQL (the most common example would be temporal functions) or it should be portable (i.e. The MOD() function is not part of SQL-92, but every SQL product has some version of it). ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
