Topic: what language(s)

[drakkenkorin]

does this look like?

Code: [Select]

use ADMIN_DB
go
SELECT a.name, b.name, b.type, b.length
  FROM sysobjects a,
       syscolumns b
 WHERE a.id=b.id and b.name like "description" and a.name like "save_dd350"

just wondering in what language this contractor codes their databases.

[Dumah]

That's SQL

"use" simply tells the parser to link to a specific database. "go" acts like a seperator to link more than 1 statement.

Yeah, definately SQL.  Different databases use only slight variations of it, but they pretty much all use SQL AFAIK.
