Follow-up testing pre-tag with Blogger

I always had difficulties showing SQL statements on my Blog. At the blogger meet-up at OOW I talked with Eddy (Awad) about this and he told me to test the pre- and code-tag. So, finally, today I tested it (again) and apparently it works. Also thanks to Patrick Wolf to give me a css for the pre-tag.

I also noticed that Beta Blogger became Blogger (2). Great!

A statement without the pre-tag:

SELECT t.team_name, t.team_id FROM tdg_team t, (SELECT r.team_id, rank() over (PARTITION BY r.team_group_id ORDER BY r.points DESC, r.matches_won DESC, r.goals_difference DESC, r.goals_scored DESC) team_rank FROM tdg_match_rank r WHERE r.tournament_id = :TDG_AI_TOURNAMENT_ID) rt WHERE t.team_id = rt.team_id AND rt.team_rank IN (1,2);

A statement with the pre-tag:
SELECT t.team_name, t.team_id
FROM tdg_team t,
(SELECT r.team_id, rank() over (PARTITION BY r.team_group_id
ORDER BY r.points DESC, r.matches_won DESC,
r.goals_difference DESC, r.goals_scored DESC) team_rank
FROM tdg_match_rank r
WHERE r.tournament_id = :TDG_AI_TOURNAMENT_ID) rt
WHERE t.team_id = rt.team_id
AND rt.team_rank IN (1,2);
A statement with the pre- and code-tag:

SELECT t.team_name, t.team_id
FROM tdg_team t,
(SELECT r.team_id, rank() over (PARTITION BY r.team_group_id
ORDER BY r.points DESC, r.matches_won DESC,
r.goals_difference DESC, r.goals_scored DESC) team_rank
FROM tdg_match_rank r
WHERE r.tournament_id = :TDG_AI_TOURNAMENT_ID) rt
WHERE t.team_id = rt.team_id
AND rt.team_rank IN (1,2);

  2. Good tip.

    The strange thing is, if you switch back and forth between the "Edit HTML" and "Compose" views of Blogger's editor, leading spaces inside a "pre" block sometimes get removed. It's very frustrating, especially when you are trying to post snippets of Java code to your blog.

    I wish Blogger's editor had a pseudo "code tag" like many of the internet forums have. I say "pseudo" because it uses square brackets (e.g. [code]some code[/code]) and gets interpreted into HTML by the editor. I have asked Blogger for this!
