In general SQL Server Central [^] no matter what your expertise / level.
They have a log of good 'stairways' you can start with the Stairway to T-SQL DML – a SQL Server tutorial[^]
DML == Data Manipulation Language (the aspect of the language dealing with the data: SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE and DELETE)
I'd recommend you review all of DML, not just select... but that's my opinion.
HTH,

I have downloaded the JDK setup file for version 8
I am trying to also download it for version 9
Can't figure it out.
Version 8 was clear, obvious, and simple; i.e., for Windows 64 bit, click and it happens.
Version 9 presents screens that I can't comprehend.
Like, where is it ?
These are the two URLs which I was instructed to use...
Thank you to anyone who knows the secret process; and especially thanks to anyone who knows it and will provide a response that makes sense and actually leads me to the knowledge of how to actually find the thing in the first place.
Machine here is Windows 7

It looks like Java 9 only supports Linux ...
For now?

Java 9 has been released. All of the targets are supported for that.

Thanks for that tip, suggestion, correction, and pointer. I thought I had already done exactly that.
Turns out it was a different question on a different topic.
Topic is now continued in the Java Forum

You are welcome.

...granted, it's not over yet.
Besides working on some cool stuff and writing a bunch of blog posts (ok, that was shameless), taking care of my gf that got the creeping crud since Wed and today is finally starting to feel better, I had the fun task of disinfecting an Amazon EC2 server I run for a client. So, here's the shameless recount. Lots of Trojans, but the worst of it was some app that got installed that was running a "miner" program. WTF. How did the instance get infected to begin with? I have a small clue to which I blame myself for my stupidity. No, not open ports or password issues or other stuff, I believe the ultimate culprit was the FileZilla install that I had downloaded ages ago on the server was infected to begin with.
It's really amazing how a website is attacked -- daily I get numerous attempts to hack into the website itself. If I leave the SSH connection open, within minutes there are attempts to connect. And so forth. I need to start getting aggressive in automatically blacklisting IP's.
Good news is it's all cleaned up, though I'm not sure why Amazon doesn't provide a virus scanner in the OS as standard practice when you create an instance. This instance is running Windows Server 2012 R2, so I had to go through these hoops to get Security Essentials installed.
I can see now where a good IT security specialist (which I am NOT) would be worth the money, as well as investing in a server-grade AV program. Ah, the lessons we learn.

You mean the FileZilla FTP Client? On the server?

At least be grateful that you can still get onto a roof. My days of roof work are over. I have a permanent form of ataxia with some vertigo that means I have to walk with a cane to help me stay balanced. Yuck! Growing old really sucks!

But the choices:
1. become grumpy old man - can say anything at any time (Pickles)
2. act a lot younger and do anything you like - can blame it on senility attack
Either way can get away with more than the stupid irresponsible young'uns. Hell, we've earned the right to do/say what we want.

That's because, unlike when you were younger you realize you can fall down (even from less than 6 feet) and get broken.
Also, depending upon how long-in-the-tooth-if-any you are, you may have become aware that things 'boo-boos' don't get better like they used to.

If you don't like cleaning gutters, give this a try: iRobot Looj[^].
I gave it a try this weekend and was pleasantly surprised by how well it worked. It created quite a bit of noise but it did what it was advertised to do: my gutters are now mostly free of debris. It has its quirks but they're easy enough to figure out (it's a bit too light to keep it from flipping over in the gutter when it hits a stubborn pile of leaves and dirt).

I've had flicker screen on my laptop since I updated to Win10. My i7, 8GB /w touchscreen, toshiba originally came with Win8.1 and I had ran it for 6 mos with no problems.
After updating to Win10, I began having screen flicker problems that have gotten so bad that my screen would go entirely black for 30 sec. - 1 minute before coming back.
It's gotten better over time and worse. I've tried installing various drivers, etc.
At some point I noticed if I moved my laptop screen the problem would seem to fix itself.
Then I noticed that if I touched the screen it would seem to fix the problem.
This same flicker problem has been reported on Microsoft Surface devices (also touchscreen devices).
Then it hit me today --- "is there a way to disable the touch screen and would that help?"
I searched and found the following image and I turned off "HID-compliant touch screen"
Device Manager - HID-compliant touch screen[^]
It seems to have solved the problem so far. I will update and let you know if I see the problem any more.
Maybe this will help someone else too. 
We will see what happens.
EDIT 1
I am seriously happy because I've just returned to my laptop after being away from it (lunch break) for over an hour. The problem has always manifested after the screen goes to sleep and then I awaken it, however, as I just unlocked the screen I had zero flicker.
Woohoo!!
Yes, I no longer have touchscreen ability on my laptop but I never use it anyways, so I've lost nothing...except the terrible flicker.
EDIT 2
This seems to be the solution. I've been away from my computer again and the screen went to sleep and when I logged on again I had no blinking. Over the past few weeks it had been terrible and every time I came back to my computer it would flicker for the first 2 minutes or so off and on.
Glad this is fixed for me...but I do agree with the reply about 1000 cuts. Microsoft, we'll just keep removing features until things seem to work...We're back to the command line.
EDIT 3 - One Last Check-in
I just returned to my laptop to check one more time.
Previously, every time it went to sleep then I'd get the flickerscreen.
Once again it is working perfectly fine.
I believe the issue is actually solved.
It's probably quite obscure too since you have to have a touchscreen enabled for the problem to occur.
Probably like 3 other users out there in the same boat.
