Mr. Daniel A. Morgan (Your highness!!!!)

I am really sorry for using the reference word "SQL" rather than "SQL Server". Usually when you are stuck in very critical problems, rather than the words the meaning is more important, and as a fact you understood what I mean by SQL, its enought for me.

Ofcourse, everyone needs to read the whole manual and make the concepts good. But, the purpose of the discussion forum is to get the advantage of great experienced people like you and get the solution in comparatively lesser time than going through the whole manual. If everybody reads the whole manual and makes the concepts clear, no one will bother to subscribe the discussion forums.
