I am working on the third edition of SQL FOR SMARTIES. If anyone has
an SQL programming technique, trick or tip that they think should be in
the book, drop me an email.
You get a virtual beer and your name in the book. Even better, if you
have an improvement on something in the second edition, you get two
virtual beers and a chance to humilate me in my own book!
Code should Standard SQL-92 or SQL-99, but if you do not know Standard
SQL, then use vendor code that maps into Standard SQL (the most common
example would be temporal functions) or it should be portable (i.e. The
MOD() function is not part of SQL-92, but every SQL product has some
version of it).
