    Hi,

    When you post questions here, please strive to:

    a) Post the simplest possible repro.   Please do some up-front debugging and detective work, and post the narrowest possible repro.  It's not helpful if you post 5 pages of code.

    b) Post the DDL of your schema so that we know the data types, NULL-ability, and constraints.

    c) Please indicate exactly which version and SP of SQL Server you are using.

    d) Please indicate any additional info that may be useful, e.g., perf counters, SQL error log messages, NT event log messages, etc.

    e) Provide the text query plan if needed.

    Thanks

    Hi,

    I would like to suggest that while composing a post:

    - Be there a standard template/form that user can fill which in turn can be displayed as a post. OR
    - An option to swich to normal (current) format (having simple text box for typing the post)

    This will make the posting experience great and organised

    Thanks
    Anand
