SQLTeam Dating Advice !

These are actual, unedited SQLTeam post subjects that you also might find in a dating forum:

• Checking for Date Conflict - How to identify those tell-tale signs that your date isn't going well; bringing your laptop along doesn't usually help
  
• Problem with relationships - Usually this is the result of not being able to identify date conflicts
  
• Pickup Rate based on effective date - Be sure that all payment rates and the definition of “effective” are agreed upon before picking up your date.
  
• Check whether a relationship already exists !!! - Very important ! 
  
• Finding first date within fields  - A beginner's guide to finding that first date, for those of us with limited dating options living in the more rural areas of the country
  
• Get relationship via SQL - This almost never works; I don't think that even MySQL will help you out here!
  
• Having a relationship with oneself - We'll let this one speak for itself.
  
• Many-to-many relationship - how best to implement?   - Sort of the opposite of the previous approach; keep in mind that Jerry Seinfield warns you'll need to grow a mustache and buy lots of lotions and new curtains to be one of these guys.
  
• Searching Dates  - This can be important; otherwise you might end up with Vanishing data and relationships .
  
• not in clause with date function  -- I'm not sure what this one even means, but for some reason I found it funny.
  
• Enforcing One-To-(finite #) relationship  - For those of us with, uh, “extra-friendly” significant others.  “Honey, we don't have to be exclusive, but can you at least limit your other relationships to a finite number?”

• Discussing VB and/or MS Access in a Programming Forum
• Top 10 Things I Hate About SQL Server
• SQLTeam Dating Advice !
• Dear DBA ....
• Real Programmers don't need to write test applications!
