Thank you -but really, pride isn't particularly appropriate, I think.
Provided it's useful, that's all that matters.

Hmmm. This comment I have to reply to, if only because every page on that
site has got my name and copyright at the bottom of it, and I wouldn't want
anyone to think that I have somehow learnt or purloined stuff from here and
then slapped my own imprimatur on it.
Every paper that's on that site, and the ones yet to be tarted up and posted
there, have been the results of either (a) having to teach the material in
class and the attendant preparation work I've had to put in or (b) having to
come up with answers to questions from students in class. I have been
corrected in some of my contents by some posters here (notably Jonathan
Lewis and Thomas Kyte), that's for sure (and I hope I've remembered to
include due ackowledgement where appropriate).
And I'm perfectly certain that there are a dozen or more regular posters who
could come up with material which is just as good, if not better. But to
say it's a joint effort... Well, as I say, I wouldn't be so underhand as to
claim authorship or copyright on that which others worked out for me.
I hope that doesn't make me sound like a know-it-all. It's not supposed to.

Not from me, I'm afraid. I'm a DBA Instructor, and that's quite enough
material to have to contend with. Languages, I leave to better qualified
people. Me, I can barely knock up a VB program!
