WOW!!! If you have ever wondered about the quality of responses at SO just checkout this response to a question about when it is appropriate to use NOLOCK.

Most banking applications can safely use nolock because they are transactional in the business sense. You only write new rows, you never update them.

Sorry for my ignorance... what is "SO"?

I thought that was Shockingly Obvious....

😎

Or Seriously Overrated.

Seriously.....doesn't even begin to grasp it. There are of course some very good contributors there but (excuse the pun) seriously, the level of noise and animal dropping like substance answers is far too high.

😎

No kidding. I figured I would setup an account and venture around a bit but wow. I never realized how shockingly bad most sql people are. My SSC shaded glasses have led me to believe that most people have a clue...wow!!!

I stay away from that site as far as I can (at least when it comes to answering questions...)

The problem is that sometimes I see shockingly bad answers, but I cannot downvote them as I don't have enough "reputation".

And the attitude of some people over there...

When I have .NET issues though, 90% of the time I find my solution on SO.

In other words SO's SQL isn't the brightest bulb araound:w00t:

😎

Maybe 😀

I don't have enough .NET knowledge to know if an answer is crap or not 🙂

I'm just happy if it works.
