    What are stored procedures, can anyone please explain in simple terms

    I have used stored procedures in combination with an app as it allowed us to bypass some limitations with regards to triggers on tables we used to fire messages off to a queue that could then perform actions based on the total data available across many different tables. The input came in from...

    Family Fitness - Treadmill

    As an alternative, maybe a rowing machine would fare better? Those I have used have been quite robust and can provide quite the workout. I would recommend those using an air brake/fan to provide resistance as it is smoother and easy to control like a Concept2 although it is a rather expensive one.

    Importing Excel Into Access

    One explanation could be that when it imports the spreadsheeet, it takes a sample of the first 10 or so rows to determine the datatype. If on of the useridd iss not a number in one of the sheets, it willl do exactly that. It can be something as trivial as a trailing space that messses it up.

    Speed up Delete Query on SQL Server table

    A thing that might be a bit of a workaround and may not work. If you can have a staging table on your BE server, you can put all you data from the FE there. With a stored procedure you could have the server do the entire append operation instead of using access for any heavy lifting. I found...

    Coronavirus - Time to Reflect on the Initial Reactions

    The infection rate lags about 2 weeks as well. Only if you test everyone, every day, and get the result in time to act upon it, will the infection rate be known. Many people do not have symptoms that they notice but are still able to spread it. All you know from the death rate is how many...

    Selective Emails Condition

    If you make a query to collect the e-mail adresses required, you can loop through the result and add them to an e-mail. Though this does require you to use VBA, it will give you more options to customize the e-mails. You could even customize it to individual e-mails with specific messages if...

    Question Has anyone else had all of their fonts spontaneously change?

    Keep in mind that size is not the same across fonts. I have found that verdana is about 1 size larger than arial. No doubt the same can be found between other fonts. I would not be concerned with the font size immediately but rather figure out how to get the font back to what it was.

    voyage leg analysis

    Be careful when dealing with ships and the way they navigate. Most of the time they will be using rhumb line instead of great circle since great circle is a major pain in the a.. to use. For short distances (<100 nm) there will be not appreciable difference between the two distances but a...

    If a moon of Jupiter support life - should we introduce new life for Earth travelers?

    Using it as a refueling station though, that might be possible with a robot. Water is a quite useful resource for oxygen and fuel. The amount of fuel you can save by refueling out there is staggering.

    If a moon of Jupiter support life - should we introduce new life for Earth travelers?

    It really depends. How many new species of fish and other marine life is discovered on earth every year? How long will it take to be sure there are not other lifeforms there already? We are pretty good at surviving here but on Europa we would die due to the radiation. It might not be the best...

    Tables to feed into main table

    I would use the two tables you mention from ebay and paypal as the place where I import data. For my own use I would strip out those fields I need from both tables and have them in a single table. As pbaldy said, this would contain an indication of whether it is an ebay or paypal transaction. A...
