Happy Twosday! No matter how you see today's date (2022-02-22, 02/22/2022, 22/02/2022), it makes for a good water-cooler fact, don't you think?
Especially if you congregate at 2:22? 😀
While many of us aren't quite back to the office and exchanging fun facts yet, we are starting to look forward to some semblance of normal again. Kscope is back with its first in-person event in 2 years, and we're thrilled to be a part of it!

We loved Chris Saxon's recent tip about using partitioned outer joins. Huh, you say?
This is useful, for example, to get a row for every product for every day in a period, including days each product had no sales.
We see this sort of use case a lot and have come up with less elegant solutions to solve them. Thanks, Chris! Check out his SUPER quick how-to video here.

Missed last week?
Last Friday on APEX Instant Tips, Anton showed us some interesting things you can do with a function called apex_session.attach. His guest was none other than Hayden Hudson! We're not going to say Hayden will become a permanent fixture on the show, but we're pretty confident we can wrangle a few more guest appearances out of him in the coming weeks😊.
