An idea on how to post query questions

As an SQL programmer, I have lurked this group. Many questions have to do
with queries and updates. I would like to respond to these posts, but the
description of the problem makes it difficult. Here is what I propose;

- when you have a question, post the CREATE Table statements in real MySQL
syntax. That way we could re-create the database quickly and test our
solutions against it.

- In your create, specify datatypes, null or not null, keys and references.

- In your create. specify storage engine type

-Also include 'inserts' with data.

You will get better answers faster.

Rich

I am trying to understand Session variables and ran into a question on how they work with data that is passed. I have an HTM file that calls an ASP file and sends the name either by GET or POST. When I find is that if I send the value by the GET method, response.write("From QueryString: " & Request.QueryString("usernamefromform") & "<br><br>")

How can I run a single SP by asking multiple sales question either by using the logical operator AND for all the questions; or using the logical operator OR for all the questions. So it's always either AND or OR but never mixed together. We can use Northwind database for my question, it is very similar to the structure of the problem on the database I am working on. IF(SELECT OBJECT_ID('REPORT')) IS NOT NULL DROP TABLE REPORT_SELECTION

Hi All, I'm having a problem with some VBA code in one of my Access 2003 databases. I'm getting the following error when running code behind a command button on a form: "Item not found in this collection". I suspect it has something to do with parameters in the query I'm calling. I need to pass an object on the form to a parameter in the query, and the query is quite complex as well. Here is the query:

Good morning at all, i have to implement a server,that every n-seconds (eg. 10sec) sends to other clients,which files and directory has been deleted or modified. i build a n-tree, for each files on harddisk there's a node into n- tree, this solution is not good for large hard disk.. and i can't use inotify (it's forbidden), and only c solutions are accepted without third party software or external calls.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...
