    So I was trying to find some values in Hadoop using Impala to find out why SSIS wasn't accepting the input. Fine. Whatever. Different database systems, etc.

    Trying to find if a value is numeric in Cloudera is NOT for the weak. I had to dig out regular expressions and convert it to their flavor. While still dragging through it the person who wrote (and then broke) the view fixed it so I could happily SSIS away.

    Since I was working from home the only living creature to subject my mighty Programming Rant to was the cat. Half way through the cat gives me an "I'm tired of this" look, turns around, flips me off with his tail. and goes to sleep on the bed.

    Flipped off by my cat.

    Yeah. That pretty much described my day.

    What do you expect from a cat, sympathy? 😀

    At least he didn't yak a hairball on me first I guess. :ermm:

    Don't count the cat out yet.  The hairball might come later on tonight. :hehe:

    Check under your pillow and in your slippers.  Also, make sure that your toothbrush doesn't smell like cat butt. 😉

    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
    First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

    Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
