third edition of SQL FOR SMARTIES

I am getting ready to do the third edition of SQL FOR SMARTIES this month. If anyone has an SQL programming technique, trick or tip that they would like to see in the book, drop me an email.

You get a virtual beer and your name in the book. Even better, if you have an improvement on something in the second edition, you get two virtual beers and a chance to humilate me in my own book!

Code should Standard SQL-92 or higher, but if you do not know Standard SQL, then use vendor code that maps into Standard SQL (the most common example would be temporal functions) or it should be portable (i.e. The MOD() function is not part of SQL-92, but every SQL product has some version of it).
