Given the current $US/$AUS exchange rate, I'm assuming it'd be cheaper for you guys to have the dinner over here - rather than at Burger King's at home.....

Well done to both of you. Thanks for all the clever answers and loads of grace in dealing with my dumbies....[burp]

Damian - I'll buy myself a coopers just for you!

Oh, and of course....

There once lived a from Australia
Who wrote SQL paraphenalia
The anwers he'd post
led to many a
And to and to but not failure.

If you're stuck with the cursor from hell
Then robvolk's the man you should tell
He'll fix it for sure
Or he'll send a brochure
For the Guru's Guide to T-S-Q-L !

say cheese!

It was ages ago, Mike and Shawn were up all night running some reports, and the madness set in.

As it often does late at night in the server room, with all those little lights blinking, and flashing, and beeping, and flashing and beeping and flashing I CAN'T STAND IT ANYMORE...

Anyone know which movie that's from????? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?

graz, you need to change Rob Brown's title to SQL Limerick Yak Master, or something like it!

Well there was a Zappa song with that much in it. Something about a dog and a stick, but I'm not going to post the lyrics

Congrats Guys!

Keep the informative posts coming. I think I've learned more in the last month than I did in the entire previous year.

After work, I will one in your honor (maybe two or three).

No different album. The album you are thinking of is called Chungas Revenge. It's a great album.

The track I was talking about is off a live album, not sure which one. The track is called "The Groupie Routine"
