• Great article - I love our language!

    Can anyone suggest a suitable word for the all-import-no-design reporting database that's made up from flat file extracts from business OLTP systems imported daily with ssis, is simple recovery, read-only to users who run ssis reports, yet is 60Gb of data and growing daily plus a transaction log on a meaty, multi-processor server and is regarded as business critical! Queries then run slowly and spawn new tables and indexes to fix the problem thus evolving the database.

    I can only think of megamix, dumpbase or Darwinbase!
