Format SQL code

I have been writing copious quantities of SQL lately. Some of the queries are getting really long.

Intel Centrino 6235 or 7260 Bluetooth not detected by Windows [SOLVED]

Leave a comment

I came across an interesting tip today: […] Samsung RC530 and a 7260.HMWWB. Bluetooth can’t be activated on some notebooks, so you need to activate it manually with a hardware “hack”. Just get some Scotch Tape / Sellotape (in german “Tesafilm”) and stick it on pin #51 (picture). Put the card back in the PCIe slot and have fun .

Leave a comment

However, when there are a lot of users it gets harder. For a single date, the MAX function works great but in our instance it will not work because we
