    Reminds me of one I saw. To alphabetically sort the ASCII data in a table the moron read the relevant field into a fixed length string array and then he sorted the array. And guess what the management did to him? He was promoted to team leader eventually! I kid you not.

        The sad thing was the Software Manager, I was going to run a new branch the firm opened so they needed a team leader, my comment was make anybody team leader except him, even the cleaning lady would be a better choice. I did state that within 6 months he would have totally screwed up the work I had done in making the department function at least tolerably well. In 6 months I was proved correct, what happened to him? He left, as he was a team leader, he got a better team leaders job elsewhere!

            Well, yeah, but we have to save that for the next version... if anyone complains about performance that is. Or, if we're very lucky, we'll get to buy new servers to improve performance, and that makes us very happy. :-D

            The gay guy that rated your post with a 2, obviously didn't catch the sarcasm in it... Some things are too subtle I guess ;P

              To get the count of items in your table, you would be using SQL's countof[^] (unless this is MySQL specific? :~)

                Gold Canyon, AZ ... where OpenSource means far too much of a reduction in profit margins! :)

                      Ah, yes. I do wish CP allowed more than simply "U.S.", it's a big damn country.

                        I was just poking to find out where my next resume should go, if one needs to be sent out. :)
