Re: [U2] MS-SQL Question
You can't use the Column alias directly in a where cause, you need to put in
a derived dataset (table)
i.e.
SELECT *
FROM
(
SELECT
substring(colname ,charindex('|',colname)+1, charindex('|',colname,
charindex('|',colname)+1) - charindex('|',colname) -1) as "PID"
FROM SomeTable
) as DerivedTable
WHERE DerivedTable.PID = something

It came back with unknown column error. I'll have to play with it again, it's
possible I typed something wrong,
But at least for now, it's working the other way I set it up.

You created PID as a synonym in the SELECT statement, you should be able to use
it in the where clause. I am sure I have done that before in the past with SQL

That didn't work because it is not a virtual column defined in the table

string, and when I was creating the SQL String to pass to the server, I used
the variable name instead.
It worked in the sense, I didn't have to retype the string multiple times, but
the SQL query that Was passed to the MSSQL machine did have it multiple times

[U2] Proposed MVDBMS forum to replace CDP
For anyone familiar with comp.databases.pick, a migration initiative is under way to a new community owned and moderated forum. You are welcome to get information and links from my blog, to provide your own feedback, and to join the new group for vendor-independent, cross-platform discussions. CDP occasionally gets U2-specific questions and it would be nice to bring back U2 representation to that audience. This U2 forum has a long history as a successfully moderated e-mail group. The only two concerns from the CDP so far are 1) people don't want to let go of Usenet, and 2) they're concerned about moderation turning into censorship. Your responses to those concerns are most appreciated. I welcome U2 forum moderators and other community leaders to lend their name and assistance to help ensure the credibility of the new forum. As PickWiki is a platform-independent resource, of value to everyone in this industry, I hope that we can re-invigorate the new MVDBMS Google Group to be a similar asset for everyone.
