I've no problem with self-answered questions, but they should still be good-quality questions. This isn't one (for the reasons I mentioned above). No honest asker will (or at least: no honest asker _should_) ask the question as you did, so you shouldn't either. (more) |

@PeterTaylor maybe I am mistaken (I'm certainly no expert in the field) but "software" to me connotes a program file is shared with others to run -- or something like that, I'm not sure exactly. I do know this: I write SQL queries _all the time_ in my work (and Perl or Python or R scripts sometimes) ... (more) |
