Hi there, I've noticed you are posting links to xSQL as answers to a lot of questions recently. Are you affiliated in any way? If so we appreciate disclosure. — Tom V11 secs ago
Also, if they want to add documentation to other sites at some point they'll run into the same issue with dupes and people not really knowing where to look
How do people feel about doing this unofficially on main?
It wouldn't have the bells and whistles of the documentation site, but the 'multiple examples sorted by votes' format is not that different from the normal Q&A here.
We could tag all the topics documentation and have an agreed template f...
I doubt they will roll it out officially to other sites for several years at best
but if we produce something workable here with superior content, we might end up at the front of the queue
@JackDouglas I always considered questions that could be answered from the manual somewhat off-topic – so as to avoid duplicating the manual. And now you seem to be actually suggesting just that :)
I have following table:
create table users (
id serial primary key,
gender text not null,
age integer not null
);
insert into users (gender, age)
select (case when i % 2 = 0 then 'male' else 'female' end), (i)
from generate_series(20, 45) i;
I need function(s) that will be able to fetch...
I see the question tagged with you is not tagged with you anymore
The value won't change, but is not known when writing the script. I could probably hardcode a pre-generated UUID instead of relying on the automatically generated one, but I'm wondering if there is a solution to this problem for future reference. — Mark K Cowan8 mins ago
@AndriyM One could take that view if the manuals were better written. There's plenty of room for better documentation of many aspects of SQL Server or Oracle. Or SSAS. Or MySQL ...
@Phil I've seen that. As mentioned here by Kevin before we can even think about putting docs on other sites, we need to make sure it's working well on SO.
@JackDouglas I guess I'm not sure how you'll be able to do it informally. And I'm not sure how migration would be possible... meaning the technical difficulties in doing that.
I'm just back from vacation today and am wading through about a million things, so it might take me a bit to get up to speed on all the docs and any plans on down the road (especially because I know the team is swamped right now).
@ConcernedOfTunbridgeWells Fair point. My concern is some people might not see a difference between a question that can actually be answered from an existing manual and one that mirrors an existing manual.
@Phil I've been reviewing all day but the mess doesn't seem to clear up
Bonjour, Bienvenu sur ce site. Merci d'écrire les contributions en Anglais s'il vous plaît. En plus, si vous avez une nouvelle question veuillez cliquer le bouton "Ask question" au lieu de répondre avec une question. Merci! — Tom V1 min ago
@bluefeet I mean, I posted some edits, one if which was approved, the other rejected because another pending edit (which was wrong) conflicted with mine
@bluefeet I didn't read all of the announcements and posts since I just got back from vacation, but what is the thing with the beta/commit stuff (link only answer is OK)
> This is the staging area for microsoft-dynamics Documentation. Once there are 5 committers, the community will be able to document all microsoft-dynamics topics.
@TomV no, committing doesn't mean you have to be active in it. But if you don't think the microsoft-dynamics is a good tag to document, then I wouldn't commit to it.
@bluefeet thing is, there wasn't a crm specific tag when I committed (I think) and since all those products have low interest on main I thought the generic tag might be the way to go, but that may have changed
@bluefeet maybe when it's out of beta?. I mean, there's so many little things with it now. I made an edit that was approved, it gave me some rep, but then I received rep for every upvote to the topic, that's just not right
@Lamak well they adjusted the thresholds and I believe we are still monitoring things. It's beta and that stuff could potentially change (don't hold me to that though).
First and foremost - we are adjusting the rep rewards as we speak. This is a beta. Stack Overflow Q&A had reputation rewards adjusted over the years (question upvotes got reduced from 10 to 5, question downvotes stopped costing reputation, etc). As much as I'd love to think that we'd get this right on day 1, that's ... unlikely. :)
We're deploying changes now that reduce reputation awarded for edits from 10 to 5. We are also raising the thresholds for what a "substantive edit" is.
They are actively making changes to docs while it's in beta.
@bluefeet I won't, don't worry ;-). Still think that SE should take away that rep that I got for it and leave only the rep gained for having my edit approved
For the immediate and medium-term future, Documentation will be a Stack Overflow exclusive.
For the distant future (as in, multiple years down the line at the earliest), well... we don't have solid plans to expand it beyond SO, but it's early enough that anything is theoretically possible.
@Lamak considering this has been in public beta for less than a week it's far too early to consider porting it to other sites. We want to know this works on SO before even thinking about putting it on other sites. Like I said earlier, I think DBA is a good fit for it but it won't happen for a bit.
The substantive-edit requirement is already in place, although the bar is fairly arbitrary - need more data to put it in the right place, but expect that to happen. Caps of some sort will almost certainly happen eventually too. Still sez "beta" in the name, so expect whatever rep you earn will be subject to adjustment at some point. — Shog9 ♦3 mins ago
I see that the Documentation Beta is now live.
Is this going to get pushed to DBA.se at any point, or is it going to only live on Stack Overflow?

I have a very poorly written stored procedure with cursors, if else etc. Is there any toll available to visualise the logic and data flow?
Thanks
