Slightly bigger for shredding. But still looks like a plan

First, say thank you, and I'm sorry.
Then you can start planning your revenge.

You can pop round and shred ours if you like, we have two large bags of the stuff.
Its fun at first but our shredder only takes 4-5 A4 sheets at once, after a while it gets a bit of a chore.

Thanks, I've got something similar already, I will try it tonight.
It will probably work best if I leave the paper in the bag and just shred the whole lot.

More materials, more noise. More noise, more job satisfaction.

I bring them to my parents' house. They have two wood ovens and they burn paper like nobody's business.

As a never ending twist and turns in my career, I have been asked to work on Sql queries ( only Select to populate data and copy in excel).
I worked on it like 15 years back and never touched sql script.
So any links or online resource to brush up my memory?
cheers,
Super

Repeat after me:
SELECT * FROM
someting AS st INNER JOIN
somethingelse AS se ON se.SomethingId = st.Id
Shirley this already brought it all back, right?
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.

Arrrgh! NOOOOO!
SELECT st.TingOne, st.TingTwo, se.TingThree FROM
someting AS st INNER JOIN
somethingelse AS se ON se.SomethingId = st.Id

Try typing "SQL SELECT" into Google.
|
|
|
|
|
select * from google
... About 1,040,000,000 results (0.50 seconds)
pfffft, is that all they have? disappointing!

W3Schools cover it all, but can be a bit "brick wall" from time to time.
This is OK: SQL Tutorial - Learn SQL Query Programming Language[^]
And there are some very handy bits added in the last 15 years such as LEAD and LAG which give you access to the next and previous row in a dataset.

be careful though, some people haven't upgraded for even longer,
others, dare I say it, use access

Some of us happen to like the SQL92 standard, as it is available for most databases. Makes your queries a bit more portable

yup, I'm one of those too, standard, portable, readable.
...in fact didn't know what LEAD and LAG was till OG mentioned it in this thread - had to google it, and 90% of my work involves SQL databases
- a lot lately on FireBird 1.5 which is old, has almost no extensions, but it is SQL92, and that's all that matters.

Not as sexy as the cloud, but plain and boring - which is a good thing sometimes

Not all, but most; if you're programming directly against a specific database-provider you'd still have a lot of database-specific code. If you program against the interfaces and you use SQL92, then changing the type of database should not be much of a problem.
In that case, any database that has a database-provider in .NET and is SQL92-compliant will work. It's the difference between telling the customer that you use "database X, version Y" and telling the customer "any SQL92 DB you like or have".

I don't worry too much about portable - I just make sure I develop using the same version of SQL as the target production system: so currently SQL 2012 SP1.

It is hardly a worry; but as good as MSSQL 2012 is, it still is a vendor lock in. Not a vendor that is likely to go bankrupt, but stranger things have happened. For using a bit less fewer new features, you get flexibility in return.

This is true, but ... even if MS went bust tomorrow, SQL server will keep on working - and there would be much more pressing matters than replacing it in a hurry!
