Trying to be of some help

[Rich R]

It is very interesting to me that most people in this group can't do simple
SQL. Are you viewing MySQL as a simple file system?As long as you do that,
you will
not understand SQL in any dialect. So from now on:

When you have a question about SQL. post the table structures. Uh, "With
Create".
Post some sample data in the form of INSERTS.

Rich

Those are great suggestions, but keep in mind that many people who ask
"newbie" style questions aren't regular users of the newsgroup, so they
might not see this guideline.

Some folks ask a question on a newsgroup when they need to know some
basic usage of a software product, but it's not their area of daily work
responsibility.
