The first step is to stop thinking about ow old you are and what others may or may not expect you to do. Pirates don't care very much about such things.

His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

Is that your version of 'talk to the hand'?

No, more like saying that parts of my body doesn't necessarily stop thinking about how old I am just because I do.

Nice, but I don't think I will order one as you can play old games on your PC with an emulator too
Besides I'm getting too old for gaming

...if SQL had macro functionality (kinda like C++) that would help reduce the amount of repetitive bullcrap we have to deal with? For instance, this is part of an answer I posted in the C# forum.
SELECT MIN(substring([ID], PATINDEX('%[0-9]%', [ID]), 1+PATINDEX('%[0-9][^0-9]%', [ID]+'x')-PATINDEX('%[0-9]%', [ID]))) AS MinID,
MAX(substring([ID], PATINDEX('%[0-9]%', [ID]), 1+PATINDEX('%[0-9][^0-9]%', [ID]+'x')-PATINDEX('%[0-9]%', [ID]))) AS MaxID,
[Fruit]
FROM [#fruits]
GROUP BY [Fruit]
It would really nice if I could create a macro with the contents of the repeated code:
substring([ID], PATINDEX('%[0-9]%', [ID]), 1+PATINDEX('%[0-9][^0-9]%', [ID]+'x')-PATINDEX('%[0-9]%', [ID]))
Something like this:
declare @justNumeric MACRO = <substring([ID], PATINDEX('%[0-9]%', [ID]), 1+PATINDEX('%[0-9][^0-9]%', [ID]+'x')-PATINDEX('%[0-9]%', [ID]))>
Which would reduce the first query to this:
SELECT MIN(@justNumeric) AS MinID,
MAX(@justNumeric) AS MaxID,
[Fruit]
FROM [#fruits]
GROUP BY [Fruit
This couldn't possibly have an adverse effect on SQL's error reporting incapabilities (Syntax error near ',' ), so I'm not concerned with that.
Am I just an optimistic dreamer?

You could create .Net assembly for that C# code and call it in the SQL.
My brain works. Hah!

It would have to completely contained in SQL Server because a lot of DBA's "aren't programmers", according to the DBA in our shop.

Well they have to code it even if Macro's are allowed. Plus we all know Macro's are dangerous due to security flaws and not good idea to introduce in SSMS or whatever DB Engine.

So you can't write a CLR UDF and delivery it the DBAs?

And not all programmers are programmers.
But on the bright side the marketing people know everything about databases and programs, where would we be without them?
