Questions (and answers):

These sites are a great resource and you will get all the more out them by following the guidelines.

Remember the golden rule for asking questions: Good questions tend to get good answers (the opposite also applies - or your question could be closed/deleted).

BEFORE asking a question, ask yourself:

• Have I taken the tour (< 1 minute)?
• Have I grasped the dba.se Zeitgeist (what's it's all about ~ 15 mins)?
• Is my question on-topic (< 1 minute)?

To ask a good question on dba.stackexchange, please look here:

• a good witty overview.
• the MVCE - Minimum, Complete and Verifiable Example.
• for performance queries.
• more helpful ideas here and here.
• the granddaddy of all "How to ask for help" posts by Eric Raymond.

Below here is a Work in Progress!!!!

There are surprisingly few good links on how to answer technical questions - I'll leave the final word on answering to the man who has > 1M points on StackOverflow.
