In that case allow me to promote some of my own work even more: Querying SQL Server 2012: Part I[^] Querying SQL Server 2012: Part II[^] Everything you need to know about SQL queries right here on CodeProject (both 1st prize in database article of the month) :D Good luck on your project!

Sit tight for part 2, it's introducing arch enemies Java and Oracle. Action, blood and violence guaranteed! Then there's the girl, Linux. Sex will be raunchy and abundant. As for the movie deal... Uwe Boll already contacted me :sigh:

I've used Firebird at University (they used Firebird because of all SQL databases it's closest to the ANSI standard). I didn't know people actually used that in real life :omg: It did seem like a good enough database, but it seemed immature to me at the time (lacking good tooling, etc.).

Couple of clients had some software that uses firebird as back end, developed a few quick inquiry apps for them. (One is not even on the latest version of fb to make it even more fun - even less features.) It's not a choice I would make as I agree that it's got an immature feel about it; sad really coz fb is actually quite a few years old but still lacks a lot of basic features, types and functions, many face-palms later can get around with what's there, but then found the numeric float/double precision is something to be really wary of: had to resort to using fixed digit decimal (store as int and use * / 10000) as even at 4 decimal places the accuracy was shocking. - But I guess that's ANSI: always needs use twice the work/code to get things done. Luckily .Net connector works well enough - as long as you stay away from blobs.

I had a quick look through after I downloaded it and it looks very useful. I've saved it on our shared development folder at work for the rest of the development team too :)

That's awesome, thanks! :D

Makes me think of Tom Lehrer Lobachevsky[^] - "Metro-Goldwyn-Moskva bought the movie rights for six million rubels, changing title to 'The Eternal Triangle' with Brigitte Bardot playing part of hypotenuse".

Downloaded. I will check it out during one of my breaks. Thanks!

Dude, you can't come barging in here and hijack MY shameless self promotion just like that ;p Besides, your article has had enough promotion as it is being the #1 best overall article of October (congrats)! Very nice article though :thumbsup:

First off, congrats on your book. That's a lot of work and you're a terrific author so I know it's a valuable resource :) You see how this works though, right? One person gets a big post in Lounge and suddenly everyone thinks it's OK. Now, he's promoting his article and that's different, but some day someone else is going to post their book, and they'll have given less to CodeProject than you have. And then when I tell them no and they point to your post, what do I say? "He's OK, but you're not?" I've been watching this thread for days with a mixture of pride and dread and I'm still meditating on it.

Thanks, Sean Ewington CodeProject

You say exactly that! :laugh: All kidding aside, I do understand your point. On the other hand it's a valuable free resource and this is THE place to share with the programmer community. Let's say it wasn't my book, but just some book I read. Would it be okay to post it here? People do recommend (non-free) books (and other products) to each other here as well. So yeah, it's probably a bit of a grey area.

You should be proud! A little CPian is spreading his wings and writing books! And I couldn't have done it without CP either :D
