Mark I suppose that, if Red Gate agrees with you, they won't give him his free software. But if they don't agree, then fair play to him - even if it does mean he's blagged something for free that mere mortals like you and me have to pay for! Dinakar - I don't suppose you could let us know how you get on? John

I just have one question. Are Dinekar contributions any less to the community because he asked for a link for something that was already offered to him in the past? I agree that this is close to bordeline (from what I understand of the agreement), but nothing close to an offense. I agree that we should support each other and pay for software, but if I have the choice (given by the product owner), to pay or get for free, there's a good chance I'll pick the free option. And I don't think I'm the only person on the planet like this!

I'm not sure where this falls in the Socialist vs. Capitalist argument, but did anybody read yesterday's feature articles??? Check out "Free Tools for the SQL Server DBA" http://www.sqlservercentral.com/columnists/dbird/2959.asp. There's a link in there to http://www.sqlinform.com/ which looks pretty neat. They also have a desktop download that you can get (for Free - If you send the guy a postcard informing him that you're using his tool).
