Memory Exercise: 9 planets

For the exercise below: score 1 point for every planet in the correct order. If you list the first 3 planet s in correct order, but the 4th one incorrect, you'll get 3 points. You'll need a sheet of paper and pen to write down your answers. Also a clock for timer. Here's a link that has a timer.

Exercise 1: You have 5 minutes to memory the order of these 9 planets. After that take 1 hour break and come back then list the planets in the correct order.

Before leaning FOR XML PATH option and XQuery, today, we'll learn about XPath Expression. This post will go over some XPath terminologies. Next post we'll look at the XPath syntax and work through some examples. If you want to learn more about XPath, please read the W3C XPath documentation here. W3schools website also has a good tutorial here.

Transforms Rows Into XML Elements: FOR XML AUTO

This post we'll explore the XML AUTO mode. FOR XML AUTO     By default:         No nesting         Use attribute-centric presentation.         Element/row tag names = schema.table or the table alias.         It's not allowed to change the row/element tag names by specifying an argument for AUTO mode.         Note it's only allowed to specify an argument to RAW or PATH mode of FOR XML to change the element/row tag name.                 Example:                 SELECT custid                               ,contactname                 FROM Sales.Customers                 FOR XML RAW('Customers'); By adding the ELEMENT directive, the xml ...

Fun with NULL

I hope the example below will help you understand more about NULL. This 4 letters word can be troublesome and fun.

Definition of NULL    NULL is not a value    NULL is a mark for a missing value - not a value itself.    NULL represent missing data    NULL is not unknown    NULL is not applicable    NULL isn't empty    NULL doesn't equal zero or an empty string    NULL is not the value of string 'NULL'    NULL doesn't equal to NULL (just like saying something is missing can't equal to another missing object. I'll explain more on this below.)    Also SQL uses 3-valued predicate logic: True, False, Unknown.  March 27, 2014 SSC question of the day : G uess what this query returns? Select 1 Where 'hello' = Null Union ...
