    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 :)

    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…..

  • 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.
