am I missing something or is this just a typo
And I can't seem to figure out how to onebox the tag :)
 
@TomV edited the q. I think the tag will go away on itself, now that there is no question on it.
 
@ypercubeᵀᴹ That's what I was planning to but I saw Paul already edited it so I figured I might have missed something
 
@TomV Oh, didn't notice that the edit was Paul's!
 
Apparently there's a version called Super SQL Server 2012 that Paul is the exclusive owner of, and he must have forgotten that no-one else knew about it when creating the new tag.

@TomV I don't think you can. The closest is [ tag: xxx ] syntax i.e.
And yes, it will be deleted within 24 hours automatically now it has no questions.
@ypercubeᵀᴹ Oops! Ha ha ha.

hey
 
Hay's for horses but grass is cheaper
 
lol
i'll take some grass
but i have a question
i'm looking to replace LIKE '%stuff%' with full text search on sql server 2014
 
@SteveG they aren't the same at all
 
it looks like Contains(columnName, '"stuffToSearchFor*"') only matches trailing wildcards
is there something else I can use to help increase the performance, or am i pretty much stuck with LIKE and it's full table scan?
@Lamak yeah FTS does a ton of stuff, but I was kind of hoping i could dumb it down to be a more performant LIKE, maybe i'm a fool, who knows
 
Hello everyone, would you consider amazon.com/MySQL-Stored-Procedure-Programming-Harrison/dp/… as a good reference book for stored procedures?
 
3:10 PM
okay, well thanks
 
@SteveG thing to understand is that full text looks for words
 
well, the stuff i'm searching for are word like, as in they can be broken up by natural barriers like spaces and stuff
which is why i thought i could get away with it
but, maybe thats not always the case
 
I know Swasheck had good things to say about Lucene but that's certainly more than you're asking about
 
word like?
 
yeah, never mind that, what i said was completely wrong
 
3:15 PM
@hello You won't find any MySQL people in here
Well...not normally....
 
anyway,thanks for the help, have a good friday :D
 
@MarkSinkinson maybe he won't find people that use mysql here, but if we could think about "mysql" as an adjective, when saying "mysql people" @billinkc comes to mind
 
@SteveG just in case, Postgres has GIN and GIST indexes that can be used for text search - and can even be customised.
@hello judging form the comments only, seems like ok.
 
3:32 PM
@Lamak Son, don't make me blow up another volcano. I'll eventually get you
 
@billinkc poor dudes, first they are named "volcano" and then they get to...well
did someone see this?

Q: Stack Overflow vs Database Adminstrators

8protonsI was just about to ask a database related question (involving translations between SQL and MySQL) when I remembered that there's a whole site in the Stack Exchange network dedicated to databases! But then I thought to myself, "Hmm... Which site should I put my database question on?" So I check...

> So I checked out the hottest questions on Database Administrators and realized that these are questions that could have been easily (and successfully) asked on Stack Overflow
 
3:48 PM
"Ask on DBA.se, because we are awesome"
 
Our 'Hot Questions' section isn't particularly hot... More lukewarm...
 
they should take a look at the top questions instead

@Lamak ohhhh snap this is going to result in some sort of turf war.
 
I must not troll the kangaroo herder..
 
Too late!
 
I'm trying not to insult the people who ask/answer on SO
Am I the only one who has no clue what this guy is asking?

@Zane Do you find the question to not show any research effort, be unclear, or not useful?
Because there's a button for that.
23 hours ago, by Paul White
I cannot stress how important votes on questions and answers are, both up and down.
 
@PaulWhite Well I had a beer or two at lunch so I wanted to make sure it wasn't just me.
 
6:49 PM
@Zane Fair enough. It's not just you :)
 
Are you OK? This is not a programming question. Contact webmaster of the site. — FLICKER 7 mins ago
bwahahahaha
"Are you ok?" Absolutely killed me.
 
poof
 
stomped by blue feet
 
Unfortunate that a brilliant comment had to suffer as well.
 
7:06 PM
@bluefeet Oh so the CMs are still alive then :)
 
@PaulWhite yeah we're around.
Not dead yet

Q: Why is my question being flagged so much?

JmaurierMy question doesn't see terrible to me at all and I would think that I could get a few really good answers that are different but not so many that it would be like this one. What makes my question worse than the other? And why has the other received no flags at this point?

 
@Kin @Erik @RLF @RolandoMySQLDBA @DanGuzman ^ That meta question invites your input.
