<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Well Well. Let me confess to what I have done
THIS time. Years ago I started out as a contract Access programmer and had
never touched Access. Now I went and got myself hired at this great
company as Database Administrator for SQL and a Crystal Programmer. Oh
my. I started Friday; they interviewed me Tuesday afternoon and called me
Thursday afternoon to start. They know I am not that proficient in SQL and
Crystal, but they seemed more interested in my personality than my job
skills. So there is this SQL program already written, MasterMind, that I
have to write triggers and stored procedures, creating these for various
departments to write reports. I got tired of consulting after 8 years -
too much going on at once and then waiting for cheap ***'s to pay us. So I
walked out and left my poor partner here WILD EYED as he now has enough work for
1.5 Access programmers and is only one person. I got an earful when I came
home Friday night. My first project thrown at me was to add a column to a
table that increments values by 10, renumerating when the grouping sort
changes. Figured that would be easy - ha ha. I am delving into the
cursor crap, did the increment value in the table itself but it does not know
when to start back again at 10. That is my current dilemma. I am
sure that I will catch on, but I am sure to be a pain in the bum for a month or
two until I get my feet under me. Anybody ever work with MasterMind which
I have nicked named MasterBa*** at this point. Fun fun. All help is
appreciated. And anyone who can calm Mike down with his new found too much
work scenario as well. He smoked two packs of cigarettes my first day on
the job!!!!</FONT></DIV>

the list Dave gives you, there are many flavors of SQL. Which flavor are
you most interested in? M$'s Jet SQL for the Jet db engine, or M$'s T-SQL
for the SQL Server engine, or ANSI SQL that everybody claims to be compliant
with but does not fully implement?</FONT></SPAN></DIV><!-- Converted from text/rtf format -->
