Tip: don't ask Joe Celko that question. Ask him how long he has been
in the databases column! :-)

I've been in this trade for some time now. My first job that involved
an RDBMS was in 1988, and the RBDMS was DEC/Rdb. I was introduced to
Sybase in 1991, and moved over MS SQL Server which then still much was
of a Sybase clone in 1996.

It's not always good being a old-timer. I was trying to find the answer
to question in another thread, but my script just wouldn't work.
Eventually, I ran it on 6.5, where I got the expected results. MS saw
fit to make a change in SQL 7 without telling me...
