[dba-SQLServer] Diving off the deep end

First problem is the double quotes, which SQL interprets as a reference to a
column. Second problem is that the statement must begin with the word
SELECT. After that you're good to go:

SELECT Right( 'John W. Colby', 3 )
==> 'lby'

Third issue: don't compile the query. Just run it.
