Inflation is 8.1% in India

All are aware of the recent inflation thats happening in India, but one thing i have observed is, whenever prices go high and come down after some days or months the people who increased the prices of the goods carry the same high prices. Government must take action and it should avoid problems happening due to this issue.

What are your opinions?

Sequence Generator Function in SQL

Here is the sequence generator function written in SQL, which when passed starting and end numbers will generate the rest sequence automatically.

CREATE FUNCTION fn_p(    @exp  int)
RETURNS @result TABLE (id int)
AS
BEGIN   
      DECLARE @pow int
     SET @pow = POWER(10, @exp)
     INSERT @result        SELECT 0 id UNION ALL         SELECT 1 * @pow UNION ALL        SELECT 2 * @pow UNION ALL        SELECT 3 * @pow UNION ALL        SELECT 4 * @pow UNION ALL        SELECT 5 * @pow UNION ALL        SELECT 6 * @pow UNION ALL        SELECT 7 * @pow UNION ALL        SELECT 8 * @pow UNION ALL        SELECT 9 * @pow    RETURNENDGO

CREATE FUNCTION fn_sequence
(    
@start int,   
@end  int
)
RETURNS @result TABLE(id int)
AS
BEGIN
