Never mind.

--Jeff Moden

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.

I'm not sure that's fair. They are trying to pick people that are recognized experts. "Best" is an opinion, and we'll never agree on it. I don't think that means we can't use the word in talking about some event.

I think this was rated low since so many people will rate anything remotely like an advertisement as low.

In that spirit, I've withdrawn my comment.

Ha, where's the argument in that 🙂

I don't know if Andy's the best, but he's pretty good. Course, being a fellow Southerner, I like listening to the accent.

I wasn't talking about Andy... and if you don't want me to repost my comment and start a holy war about it, you should probably not ask me things like "where's the argument in that". 🙂 It's a pet peeve that I need to learn to suppress and you gave me a pretty good reminder of that. Thanks, ol' friend.

Why do you list paid events as "in this issue" in your newsletter? (I didn't see the original comment because it was already removed.) If you are going to put links in your newsletter to subject matters that are "in this issue", I expect to be able to read the content, not find a link to an $1800 course.

Steve Jones - SSC Editor SSC Guru Points: 734434 More actions · Answer 7

The event is listed because there are people that want to get training, and this is an opportunity out there. It's marked as an "event" so that you know it's not a technical article.

When I open your e-mail in the morning and eagerly look for new golden nuggets of knowledge, I see a list under "Featured Articles". Then I click on one of those to get a snippet of the contents and a link to some (typically) great new material to read with my morning coffee.

But you're right. Off to the right, there is an icon that signifies when an article is really a commerical event. I'll learn to skip them in the future.

Perhaps if they offered a discount for SQL Server Central readers? 😀

Anybody been to these kinds of training before? Wonder if this is worth the money.

Steve Jones - SSC Editor SSC Guru Points: 734434 More actions · Answer 11

I can't speak for this one, but it's similar to the pre-conference training that is offered before the PASS Summit conference and most people see value there.

Andy has written a few SSIS books, speaks on it at many events, and has done this type of training before. If you need more details, I am sure you can contact Boston SQL Training or Andy through his blog (http://sqlblog.com/blogs/andy_leonard/default.aspx) and he can answer questions.
