If your "quoting" a question in a statement, do you put a question mark after the quote?

November 29, 2009 - 8:17 pm 3 Comments

For example: The cops said,"is this your weed bro"? I’m telling what the cops said, not asking. The quoter was doing the asking. Maybe I should say, [The cops said, ("is this your weed bro"?).] Just curious. I’ve always wondered this.

You put the Question Mark (?) on the inside of the quote, because see the question is being asked from the character not the narrator or person who it say the things like "Then the cop said" ya know. The cop is asking the question not the narrator. So the question mark is definitely on the inside of the quote! Like, if you were email or texting someone and you replied What? You are asking the question. So the end marks are ALWAYS a part of the statement made by the character.
So if i say
That was lame. The period at the end is expressing my feeling’s of boredom and/or disappointment.
If I said
Wow! That was so cool! The explanation point shows how I am expressing my excitement and/or happiness that I have felt for whatever was so cool
And if I said
What was that about again? The question mark indicates that I’m confused and/or puzzled of what ever thing just happened
End marks aren’t just there because. They show the emotion and/or point of view of the subject the character was taking about
Like if I said
Wow. That was sooo fun.
You can tell I am being sarcastic from the end mark. It’s a period instead of an explanation point. The question mark, explanation point, or the period at the end of the sentence is all about the character’s feelings
So if it is about the character’s statement, it should be inside the quotes because it is part of the character’s statement not the narrator’s
So the question mark should be inside the quotes like this
The cop said, "Is this your weed bro?"
See inside the quotes

Statement on your credit report?

November 27, 2009 - 9:50 am 7 Comments

Does anyone know how I can put a statement on my credit report? For example, for an account that was opened w/o m permission (fraudulently) and this was proven, how can I make a statement on the negative info? It should be deleted, I think, but in the meantime??

By law, you are entitled to place a 100 word consumer statement on your credit report. Credit bureaus may tell you they can’t fit 100 words but "The Fair Debt Reporting Act" specifically states you are allowed. Credit bureaus may need to be reminded of this.

Conditional SQL Update Statement?

November 25, 2009 - 5:57 am 3 Comments

I have a table with hundreds of columns where some may be duplicated. What I want to do now is go back and add an index of sorts based on that column. For example:

OrderID
OOP-200221
POP-39808903
POP-39808903
POP-39808903
IIK-3993
IIK-3993
KOL-3939393930

I want to add an ID column that would show something like this:
1 - OOP-200221
1 - POP-39808903
2 - POP-39808903
3 - POP-39808903
1 - IIK-3993
2 - IIK-3993
1 - KOL-3939393930

(I used the dash to seperate the values, I just want the number in the new ID column and the OrderID to remain in the OrderID column.)

Is there a way to do this with a SQL statement?

Thanks in advance!
I’m trying to do this in SQL 2005 through a query. I guess I should have specified that.

I wasn’t able to get the query you supplied to work…

If you use phpMyAdmin, you can simply add a column in the front.
I will give you the SQL query however to add something to the beginning of the table.
Query:
ALTER TABLE `db_name` ADD `id` INT( 3 ) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT FIRST

The FIRST at the end places that column to the beginning.
If you need further help, email me.
Good Luck!

"If you draw a line under Naples on the map,this is where the third world begins" Is this statement true?

November 25, 2009 - 5:57 am 10 Comments


No. In fact, I felt that conditions improved when leaving Naples in any direction. Rome is a chaotic place to drive, but Naples is worse.
South from Naples is a less urban, but definitely not third world. You can safely drink the water throughout the country.

How can fans "delete your profile?"?

I do not know I was searching around and I found this statement but I have no idea what it means I never saw any delete button for my contacts.

I don’t think you can.

SQL Join statement across two databases?

November 20, 2009 - 8:45 pm 2 Comments

Is there a way to create a join statement across two databases?

Using the example below..

I need to the specid column from System.dbo.PayerSpec and Data.dbo.claim

Can someone help me with this?

Thanks!

As long as both databases are part of the same SQL Server instance you can do it with a simple join.

select *
from system.dbo.PayerSpec p
inner join Data.dbo.claim c
on p.specid = c.specid

If they’re in different instances or on different servers, you want to look at setting up a linked server which lets you query between remote databases.

How can i write my Personal statement for a social work degree?

November 20, 2009 - 8:45 pm 3 Comments

I am applying for a Social Work course at Uni but i dont know how to write my personal statement !

Just write it honestly.
Why do you want to do Social work? To help others?
Then add what experience you have had (either volunteer or paid), why you think the SW course would be beneficial to you. What you hope to do after your degree etc.
