| I started with SQL around 1 month ago, so far it has been pretty hard, I don't have an instructor and self teaching myself and count on professionals like you to help me out when I get stuck. I am trying my best to work the problems by myself and only post a question here when I cann't find the answer anywhere. The couple of time that I requested help, I was treated as if I was suppose to know all the topic. All I can tell you and everybody us is that I am doing the best I can and that I am thankful for this site. |

| well you just have to remember one main thing:to get good answers to you questions you have to provide 2 things - a clear description of your problem in normal language - table schema, small set of sample data and results based on that sample databasicaly that's it...keep up the good work and don't get discouraged. also when you think you know an answer to a question, post it.helps build up confidence over time._______________________________________________Causing trouble since 1980blog: http://weblogs.sqlteam.com/mladenpSSMS Add-in that does a few things: www.ssmstoolspack.com |

Years and years (started back in 1996 as a student worker then full-time in 1999). I'm still learning. Like Mladen, my rate was exponential when I started posting here.Tara KizerMicrosoft MVP for Windows Server System - SQL Serverhttp://weblogs.sqlteam.com/tarad/ |
