Hi Pinal,
What would you suggest as tricks for becoming MVP?
Thanks in advance for your suggestions?

@Viral
A trick for becoming MVP? Go to the MVP website, and type in: ‘; INSERT INTO MVP..Professional(First_Name, Last_Name) VALUES ‘Viral’, Jain’; –
Let me know if it works :)
@Brain TKatch
By doing that definitely you cannot become MVP, ( because there is syntax error ), may be you should try this,
INSERT INTO MVP..Professional(First_Name, Last_Name) VALUES (‘Viral’, ‘Jain’) ;
If there are no more MVP position’s available for this year then try doing this,
DELETE FROM MVP..Professional
WHERE First_Name not in ( ‘Viral’)
and Last_Name not in ( ‘Jain’)
GO
Use MVP
alter table Professional
add constraint CK_FirstName check ( First_Name = ‘Viral’)
GO
Use MVP
alter table Professional
add constraint CK_LastName check ( Last_Name = ‘Jain’)
INSERT INTO MVP..Professional(First_Name, Last_Name) VALUES (‘Viral’, ‘Jain’) ;
IF @@Error = 0
PRINT ‘ Congracts You are the only MVP for this year and for all years from now on…’
GO
I wish I could be as lucky as Pinal Dave to become MVP and to meet the Master of Master’s for SQL Server. I could only dream…..

Hey Brian and Imran,
Thanks for your innovative solutions. I can see you at abysmal depth.
Anyway, my question was targeted to Pinal not to you! Do you like answer for him?
Viral.
Oh, I am sure you went to dictionary, didnt you??
In any case, I think Pinal knows me (or rather I know Pinal) and I am surprised that he allows such notes on his page!!!
Thanks,
Viral.
