Show Don't Tell Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 Hey, everyone. I was bored, and so when I was posting, I clicked on BB Code Help, which is found under the emoticons. Well, I knew mostly all of them, except one. That is "SQL". Like here: SELECT t.tid FROM a_table t WHERE t.val="This Value" [sql]SELECT t.tid FROM a_table t WHERE t.val="This Value"[/sql] Any idea what it does?

thesweetscience Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 SQL is structured query language and that code is used to retrieve information from a SQL database. The back end for this forum is probably SQL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Show Don't Tell Posted March 15, 2008 Author Share Posted March 15, 2008 (edited) So, what can you actually do with the SQL tags? Edited March 15, 2008 by Show Don't Tell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thesweetscience Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 That particular string looks like it queries a table for specific information so like I said in my last post, it searches for information in the database. I guess you could use it to add content to your posts or sigs if you know how to use it. I am not a DBA so I don't really know what you could do with it. This is just my guess.

It is more for tech. message boards, same utilization of the CODE tags so you can show SQL commands and it automatically puts it in the universal color format for showing sql commands.
