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!

Small problem with a Union Query

Asked by bostonste in SQL Server 2005, Databases Miscellaneous, SQL Query Syntax

Tags:

Hello All
I have a union query i have been working on and i still have a small problem with it. The code below compares the 2 identical tables and shows me entries that has any field in one that is diffrent to the same field in the other table, so far so good. The problem i have is that i just want to be able to see data from just one of the tables , the dbo.purchase_order table. I then use this to update the other table. Is this at all possible andis the union query the way to go or is there a better way i dont know about

Many thanks in advance
