Hoax : Pin number reversal ?

Wednesday, November 29th, 2006

I just got this email from my friend.

If you should ever be forced by a robber to withdraw money from an ATM
machine, you can notify the police by entering your Pin in reverse.

For example if your pin number is 1234 then you would put in 4321. The ATM recognizes that your pin number is backwards from the ATM card you placed in the machine.

The machine will still give you the money you requested, but unknown to The robber, the police will be immediately dispatched to help you.

This information was recently broadcasted on TV and it states that it is seldom used because people don’t know it exists.

Thursday, November 23rd, 2006

Union is one of the SQL syntax for combine the results of two queries together.

Do you know what is are the differences between UNION and UNION ALL ? (ehee….this is one of my interview question,lucky i know the answer. :D )

The UNION ALL command is equal to the UNION command, except that UNION ALL selects all values.(including all the duplicate values)
