hm...

hey, now when Duga reports a bad linker message, I can just delete it! :D

As I was saying, we just need more mods.

I don't like when people down vote or vote-to-close questions just because they don't understand them.

Just because it's not clear to you doesn't mean it's not a clear question. If you don't understand the subject matter, perhaps you should leave it to someone who does.

@ThomasOwens would you mind editing the explanation of batch into the question then? I abstained of voting myself but I can understand those who did - when a not widely known concept prominently shown in the title goes unexplained in the question text it may feel confusing

(6 hours and handful comments after it was posted, asker is unlikely wiling to clarify this, or maybe they are AFK for a while and can't properly "defend" their question from closing)

@gnat It's not necessary. Anyone with expertise in Lean fully understands what it means. Things that are not widely known should be documented, but if you're in a tag about lean and lean concepts, you shouldn't have to define basic lean terminology.

@gnat If you check their profile, they were last seen 7 hours ago.

So they posted the question and left shortly afterwards.

An Excellent Idea

Just saving that for later...

Hello

How's everyone doing?

So, I have (what I think is a) fairly elementary question in SQL, but I'm not sure where the appropriate place to ask it is, so I thought I'd ask here. Suppose I have some database table "A" that has a certain column "a_3." Any time a value changes in that column, I'd like to record each change in a_3 in some other database table "B." How could I go about doing this? Any hints on what to check out?

I'd check out triggers for that.

@ThomasOwens Thanks! That provided a fairly good starting point

Thanks for the reference, @Snowman

and now to figure out why my python code isn't connecting to MS SQL...

Needs one more vote to close: softwareengineering.stackexchange.com/q/336944/1204

@RobertHarvey Why should it be closed? Too basic?

@RobertHarvey Why?

It's a perfectly legit question. And it has an answer. I defined the metric and then explained why it wasn't valid.

Ask the other three people who also voted to close it.

I mean, c'mon. Year over year. Really?

It's not like we have to keep the question in perpetuity. Asked and answered.

Good answer, by the way. We can keep the post just for that. I doubt that it really needs to stay open, however.

I am not as well versed in this website's decorum as you guys are, but from my perspective, it seems that the asker at least bothered to provide context for his question based off previous places in the workforce

i.e., there's reason to think others would have also heard of the term in question, regardless of whether or not the term is, as you say, valid

[shrug] It's too bad changing the name of the website hasn't altered people's proclivities for asking trivial questions.

True. Well, perhaps one could use a rule-of-thumb test by simply googling the term. If its meaning is found easily, then the question could be closed without necessarily going against the website's values in providing answers to questions not found elsewhere
