Just being curious


Hi Group

It's a rainy day and because of pure boredom have right-clicked a row
in EM and selected 'Properties'.

Just being curious what the dialog coming up is all about (call me
ignorant!) and where I can find more information (Keyword?)in BOL?

One thing I wonder however and maybe someone can answer this question
is that this dialog suggests that a table is nothing more than a query
and not a physical representation of data? I'm not an SQL expert and
thought data is stored in 'pages' and that those pages are the actual
tables? I got this idea as on the 'Query' tab, the table name is listed
as 'Query Name'.
However, if it's a query, I should be able to just type the table name
in Query Analyzer (like calling a system sp) and execution should
return the table data which it doesn't but says it's a table object?
But then again, the table object must be based on a query?

Just wondered.

Thanks for your thoughts!

Martin

I'm still relativey new to stylesheets, so I'm hoping that the way I'm going about things can be seriously improved upon, i.e . I just haven't undersood something obvious about the 'cascading' nature of the coding, which I believe concerns the way attributes relate to one another when 'nested'... I think I can illustrate the nature of the beast with this example, using just two text styles:

I wrote a program that shows some incredibly curious probabilities. It is a simple game where you guess a number between 0 and 2 that the computer thinks up. What is origonal about this game is the computer tells you before hand if you got the number right and you can decide if you want to play or not. The computer keeps track of all your wins, all your losses, and as is possible all of your didn't wins but didn't loses. What is...

Greetings, I was playing a bit with web services and asked myself if I could use P/Invoke to create AVI file in Web service from some images(bitmaps). I could already use P/Invoke to incorporate OpenGL to web services (to create images), and I am curious if I could do the same with AVI files or streams? Perhaps someone already tried something like that or knows if it can be done.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
