Re: A proper FAQ - Wish fulfillment

Thanks for the list. It was overdue. Still, I'd append to point 3 something like

  If you have an SQL related question, don't assume we know the relationship   between tables. Post 'create table t (...)' commands. Fill them with an   appropriate number of values ('insert into t values(...)'). Formulate   exactly what you expect. As always, make it as easy as possible for someone   to give an answer.

But undoubtly, they are much better at hiding themselves away :)
