@JackDouglas Talking out of my rear, don't think this can be done.
 
@JackDouglas I think @MarkStoreySmith could do that. He was the first to call them out a few days ago, and then I ran across that meta.so thread today, which jogged my memory.
 
@Nick can you remember the username?
casperone
found him
@JackDouglas If you look at edits from casperOne, you'll see what we mean.
Time to retire, laters chaps

@MarkStoreySmith he he thanks for trying :)
I'll have a look at those edits later on today...

@Nick, @Mark, I don't think we can blame Casper for the edits as they both had to be approved by someone else (jcolebrand in this case but any mod or 10k user can approve edits I think)
 
Can someone advise him that they have little value? Just causes a page reload when you click. I tried but couldn't get an # anchor to work.
 
That's odd, they work for me
What browser do you use?
 
Sensible man
They do reload the page but jump to the linked answer - don't you get that?
 
12:02 PM
Yup, same for me. But, it should be possible to use a # anchor that doesn't cause a page reload.

Q: Allow linking to named anchors

Michael MrozekThis is similar to 37894, but I don't think it's a dupe. Markdown should support links that are just named anchors, like [foo](#12345). I occasionally reference existing answers in comments or my own answers if I'm expanding on them, and currently I need to include the full URL to get Markdown to...

 
Aha, gotcha
 
I think that's the reason for the refresh - there aren't many Qs here with enough answers for it to be a issue, but one day...
You can just make a minor a edit to get his name of your post if that matters to you?
 
@JackDouglas I think anyone who can edit without approval can approve them (2k rep)...I know I can still approve edits
good morning btw
 
Hi @DTest, thanks for that - I wasn't sure
More fanatical attention to detail from the SQL Server squad here on dba.se :)
 
12:33 PM
hah
 
12:59 PM
That MartinSmith fella certainly knows his stuff!
 
man, Leigh is asking all these oracle quesitons, and no one is answering
 
Get to it @JackDouglas!

And again, despite proving an answer to be incorrect, it continues to get upvoted.

A: Efficient INSERT INTO a Table With Clustered Index

Mark Storey-SmithIt the optimiser decides it would be more efficient to sort the data prior to insert, it will do so somewhere upstream of the insert operator. If you introduce a sort as part of your query, the optimiser should realise that the data is already sorted and omit doing so again. Note the execution p...

Sorry, that's my answer...

A: Efficient INSERT INTO a Table With Clustered Index

GonsaluThe ORDER BY clause in the SELECT statement is redundant. It is redundant because the rows that will be inserted must be sorted anyway. Let us create a test case. CREATE TABLE #Test ( id INTEGER NOT NULL ); CREATE UNIQUE CLUSTERED INDEX CL_Test_ID ON #Test (id); CREATE TABLE #Sequence ( ...

Both Martin and produced demonstrations to show its not the case.
 
doo be doo, i upvoted that one :)

Jack is blowing me away in flags handled :p
 
Slacker!
 
I know, whatever was I thinking
 
4:06 PM
@MarkStoreySmith at least MArtin's comment on that answer is upvoted
so upvote that comment
I upvoted the answer before posting my question on whether it holds for all insert sizes
 
I've upvoted everything but the incorrect answer :)
 
goes to show i shouldn't upvote sql server questions just because it looks like a lot of thought went into it :)
 
4:35 PM
I somehow j ust got an invite to careers based on my mysql tag answers on SO.com
do they include all SE sites now?
because i've only answered 17 questions with a total of 9 upvotes on SO itself
 
@DTest no, you're likely just in the top x percent of those answerers, I expect
 
@jcolebrand mmm. not complaining just wondering :)
 
I groked that

Q: Optimization: Moving Variable Declaration to Top of Procedure

brad.vWorking on optimizing some stored procedures, sat down with DBA and went through some sprocs with high blocking and/or high read/write values. One thing the DBA mentioned was I should declare all variables (especially TABLE ones) at the top of the sproc to avoid recompiles. This is the first I ...

great question that files under "common practice that may be based on a myth/misunderstanding"
@gbn @MarkStoreySmith @SQLServerPpl I wonder what y'all think about this practice
 
gbn
bollocks
FUD
myth
sounds like VB6/VBA thinking about binding
 
i like the practice just from a programming perspective :)
 
yeah, I had been handed that "best practice" down
but I remembered from my prorgamming class that it's good to declare what you need close to where you need it
so I looked into it
btw is bollocks basically == bullshit? I love that word
bollocks
horlicks
gbn is a library of british slang

7:44 PM
ah bollocksd
now, it's multi-faceted word
indefinate = rubbish, crap, poor, lame, talking rubbish etc
"load of bollocks", "talking bollocks", "This club is bollocks"
Definite = good, positive, the best
"The dogs bollocks" or "the bollocks"
@Jack, @Mark: comments please for our cross pond cousin
"Bollocks" is a word of Anglo-Saxon origin, meaning "testicles". The word is often used figuratively in British English, as a noun to mean "nonsense", an expletive following a minor accident or misfortune, or an adjective to mean "poor quality" or "useless". Similarly, the common phrases "Bollocks to this!" or "That's a load of old bollocks" generally indicate contempt for a certain task, subject or opinion. Conversely, the word also figures in idiomatic phrases such as "the dog's bollocks", "top bollock(s)", or more simply "the bollocks" (as opposed to just "bollocks"), which will refer ...
 
hah, that's almost like shit over here
"that club is the shit" = it's awesome
"shit club" = it's terrible
 
gbn
same with "shit" but less common over here

LOL I'm imagining a new user popping in here to discuss some sEriOUs DaTaBaSe StufF and seeing this

@kupa we can chat in here...
It is better not to go on for too long in the comments
 
9:41 PM
example:
you have a table in another tablespace that references a table in the tablespace you are going to drop by a foreign key
that foreign key is dropped when the tablespace goes
and it does not come back when you reimport - you need to add it manually
