Clean CLR isn't what scares my DBA's, it's letting my app coders loose with it.

Oh how things have changed!
I remember the days when what scared us developers (users owned the data, of course, but we owned the databases including how the data was represented/mapped into schemata) was letting DBAs have update access to the data (and sometimes even read access). And of course this was even more so when we developers were the users (as with Software CAD systems, Formal Development Methods systems, and so on).

Several years ago my oldest daughter's JV soccer coach once confieded "I knew we were in trouble when half the team asked what was offsides?"

Well, I've just seen the equivalent here with the question "What is SSMS?"

And you are doing what with SQL Server???

Really?? You have to be kidding.

I'm tempted to violate my mantra and post a script that dumps all table names into a temp table and then CURSORs through dropping each table using Dynamic SQL (no need to worry about SQL injection after that bad boy runs).

DECLARE @SQL AS NVARCHAR(MAX)
SET @SQL = STUFF((SELECT 'DROP TABLE dob.[' + t.[TABLE_NAME] + '];
'
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES l
WHERE t.[TABLE_TYPE] = 'BASE TABLES'
ORDER BY t.[TABLE_NAME]
FOR XML PATH(''), TYPES).value('.', 'VARCHAR(-1)'), 1, 0, '')
EXE(@SQL)

And I thought only the parents were that clueless about soccer here in the States.

Someday when we are in the same town and have some time, I'll explain the dynamics of soccer in the area I live and why I wasn't surprised by this comment.

I do plan on meeting many of the Threadizens at some point.
