"Maybe I'm being a bit negative here.Your resolution can be made less negative by optimising to:Not (put on more weight OR get less fit OR work OR drink any less) |

A long time ago I made the only resolution that I have ever kept for any length of time. Not to make any more resolutions  -----------I used to think I wasn't a morning person but it never got better in the afternoon |

| I'm not calling it a resolution, it's just an item on my to-do list: get at least one MS certification in SQL Server. |

Pretty much the same but less formal, I want to get fluent in T-SQL. High time too, given how long I've been at this. |

Didn't you use a freeby exam voucher?I did - wanted to do it in something I didn't know but in the end took a SQL Server exam on new years eve on the day the voucher expired. They only had 2 wrong answers which isn't bad I guess.Anyone else - watch out for the trick questions - they started off with select one then drop in some select many. A friend pointed out there was a practise exam before I did it and I got half way through before I realised you had to read the question. Could be different now though.Guess this makes me an MCP in two ways.Happy new year from Perth WA.==========================================Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.SSIS can be used in a similar way.Beer is not cold and it isn't fizzy. |

| I've started a number of new hobbies, or interests, as a "New Year's Resolution" over the years. Astronomy, Playing the Saxophone, Growing vegetables, installing Solar Panels .... ... rather than trying to give up something I've enjoyed doing for many years - like Eating, Drinking and being Merry!I've failed to "Start keeping Bees" for a couple of years though - but only lack of time has got in the way of that one, so even that one I will do sooner or later. |
