@RPK: I love your user id, it sounds so manly, a merging of RPG and PPK (Rambo, meet James Bond) ...but from your writing I doubt you would do very well interviewing for the Evil Catbert :)
I actually forgot it is called CodeXchange until I saw your added comment; I used to look there with great hope that I would find some helpful code. But I gave up long ago. The GOOD news (in my mind anyway) is that this forum has proved to be a valuable resource. Unless my problem is an actual product bug that engineering has to fix, this is our best source of info. I am really glad to see Sybase staff participate and glad the new version is just days away.
@Everyone: My earlier comment was missing an emoticon. It should read thus: @Bill: I am THRILLED, of course! ...what makes you think this posting has anything to do with the SDN? The word "Sybase" appears nowhere :)
Since this posting appears to have evolved into a discussion about CodeXchange, I was going to ask "what type of website would work as a mechanism to share code?" but perhaps Bill is right: perhaps this forum is the right mechanism? This may even be more true once the new 'SQLA' rolls out since it supports attachments and therefore it will be a lot easier to share larger samples. I would be interested to hear your thoughts about how you would like to share your code samples and how you feel you should be able to find/use the samples. Is this type of website the right tool or something else?
So, let me see... Does this mean you ARE or AREN'T pleased with the progress on the Sybase Developer's Network?
@Breck: I am fit for the opening.
Hm. It is not like you to be so sarcastic, Breck :-)
@Karim: Sarcastic? Moi? Au contraire, I love CodeXchange now that it is read-only, people have to find working locations to post code :)

I am adding a comment in reply on "What are the Terms and Conditions of SQLA 2.0?"
