I assume they mean.. have the test and then act upon it with diet/exercise/medicine to prevent the heart attack If you never had the test, maybe you don't know you are at risk and don't make any changes and then you get the heart attack

Re:What was nice about the UI of Windows 2000 on Thursday June 18, 2026 @02:05PM (#48589128)
Windows 2000 Professional was the non server edition no? That's the one I was running AFAIK.

But you might be right by meaning consumer is non business user.. I also ran ME for about 2 weeks lol

Re:nullable but not null on Friday July 25, 2025 @04:48PM (#44688276)
in sql server, you can simply add a not null check constraint with nocheck (see my comment with full code)

ALTER TABLE foo WITH NOCHECK ADD CONSTRAINT CheckNotnull CHECK (id IS NOT NULL)

any new values coming in cannot be null but the values already in the table with null are fine... then you can update them to not null over time

Re:nullable but not null on Friday July 25, 2025 @04:41PM (#44688190)
If you don't care for old data having null , you could add a check contraint with nocheck (this is sql server fwiw)

for example

create table foo(id int) insert foo values (1), (2), (3)

insert foo values (null)

select * from foo

id

1

2

3

NULL

ALTER TABLE foo with nocheck ADD CONSTRAINT CheckNotnull check (id IS NOT NULL)

insert foo values (null)

Msg 547, Level 16, State 0, Line 13 The INSERT statement conflicted with the CHECK constraint "CheckNotnull". The conflict occurred in database tempdb", table "dbo.foo", column 'id'. The statement has been terminated.

However be aware that if you update an existing value to NULL, you will still get the error

update foo set id = null where id = 2

Msg 547, Level 16, State 0, Line 20 The UPDATE statement conflicted with the CHECK constraint "CheckNotnull". The conflict occurred in database "tempdb", table "dbo.foo", column 'id'.
