Chicken or the Egg, a SQL question?

Call substring first, then call encode. It looks like you are using ASP or ASP.NET. You should use bind variables so that you do not need to worry about SQL injection attacks.

Neither, because:\n\ncan chickens fly?\ncan eggs fly?\n\nyou have to look at it from all angles ;-)

Hi..\nCheck out the following page...this might provide your some insight on Query Optimizations...\nhttp://www.sqlsummit.com/Optimization.htm

Do you know the difference between a statement and a question - \nThis is not Yahoo Statements

ok... i am guessing you are in some interactive query tool such as SQL Enterprise Manager (SQL Server) or Discoverer (Oracle). The problem is that your data isn't correctly normalized, and there are multiple rows that are equal (column A of row 1 matches column A of row 2, .... column n of row 1 matches column n of row 2). Your rows must be unique in order to use these tools to modify your data.\n\nHave you defined a primary key? If not, define one by adding a column (call it, maybe, PrimaryKey??) that is an "Identity" column in SQL Server, or a "sequence" in oracle. Then each row WILL be unique because the primary keys are unique.\n\nAre you viewing just a subset of the columns? In SQL Enterprise Manager, you can select the rows you wish to view by right-clicking on the table, then selecting OPEN, then selecting QUERY. If this is what you are doing, make sure to add your primary key to the query you're using to select and view the data. If you don't have a primary key, see the previous paragraph.\n\nIf this doesn't answer your question, email me.

SQL is used to look at and update data. The primary commands are SELECT, UPDATE, INSERT, DELETE. As programming topics go, basic SQL is as easy to master as anything.

I hate the darn things. I have one in my name and it's a real pain.\n\nApplications written in SQL have a real problem with them too and usually error out if you include one.\n\n\nOther than that it's just plain lazy.

SQL is sort of a standard language for querying relational databases. Visual Basic is a programming language. You can query database with it, but that is not its main function.

Query the RDBMS's internal schema for that information. Also can check data types using regex on values, as well as defining meta-data for test you want to run, and a utility script to use it against defined tables.  (If the database is set up correctly, you shouldn't experience anomalies in the first place.)

Hello,\nThe inner query, which is\n\nSELECT [Employee Information].FirstName, [Employee Information].LastName, Courses.CourseTitle, CoursesCompleted.CourseID\nFROM Courses INNER JOIN ([Employee Information] INNER JOIN CoursesCompleted ON [Employee Information].StudentID=Courses... ON Courses.CourseID=CoursesComple...\nWHERE (((CoursesCompleted.CourseID)=... THE COURSE NUMBER])))\n\nreturns a set of first names, last names, course titles and course id numbers; however you are checking whether >only< the first name and the last name of a particular employee is in that set. If I'm not mistaken, both sides of the 'NOT IN' clause should contain the same information. In this example, one side (outer query) contains the name of the employee, and the other side (inner query) contains the name of the employee + course information. \nTry this: in the second query select only the first and last name of the employee (not the course info) but keep the joins in the FROM clause.\n\nIf I had designed the tables, I would assign a unique id to each employee, just as courses have their unique course ids. It would have eased this task a lot.\n\nI know I sound confusing, but hope it helps

this is hard but here are my reasons and you can decide. the chicken has evolved from the tyranosaurus rex or TRex. but, remember that dinosaurs laid eggs. so it's your choice

Which came first - the chicken or the egg? \n\n"The chicken" came first - in the sentence of the question. \n\nIf the question is phrased differently, the answer is different

Well the easiest way is to use a straight out SQL method in access. Its not that a SQL method is hard but is just how you access the information in a table. Below is a link to a page which shows you a great straight forward example of using a few nested select statements or if you want to create an intermediate table to hold the results, that example is there too.\n\nHope this doesn't confuse you too much, but really if you take a look at it, you will find it makes sense. Just read it out loud.\n\nGood luck!

I would have to say either "Which came first, the chicken or the egg?" or "What is the meaning of life?"
