The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Oracle, SQL, Oracle 8i

I'm using Oracle 8i database. I have a table name Staff which have field Username.
In this table let say I have 3 records - Jack, Bob and Amy. I can display the record
using SQL query with result like this

Username
----------------
Jack
Bob
Amy

What I want to do is I want to create a multiple row for each record like

Username
----------------
Jack-1
Jack-2
Jack-3
Bob-1
Bob-2
Bob-3
Bob-4
Amy-1
Amy-2

The number -# at the suffix of each username is like a counter which I can define
the maximum number each record that will be displayed.

Can anybody show me how to do it using SQL query or maybe link to any tutorial will be good enough.

Thank you
