Presents your SQL SERVER E-NEWSLETTER for November 26, 2002 <---------------------------------------- Decipher T-Sql syntax with the help of shortcut keys In previous versions of SQL Server starting with 6.5, you could issue the command sp_helpsql followed by a T-SQL command to get help pertaining to the syntax for the T-SQL command. With SQL Server Query Analyzer 7.0 and later, this procedure will no longer provide the syntax for the command. However, you can get syntax help another way under SQL 7.0 and later. You can highlight a T-SQL command and simultaneously press [Shift][F1] to get help from SQL Server Books Online. A dialog box will appear that indicates where you can find the command from SQL Server Books Online. From the dialog box, you can choose the topic that's most applicable to your situation. If there's only one place where to find the command in SQL Server Books Online, the shortcut key will take you directly to the topic instead of displaying a dialog box. ----------------------------------------
