Heh.. oh boy... here we go.
No where in my posts did I call you an "amateur". That's all on you, bud. And, no... no where did you even hint anything about an "academic study". In fact, you stated quite the contrary in the article...
This block of code is intended to demonstrate how we can in Microsoft SQL Server from version 2008. Use any user database to perform a execution of this code block and table storage RandomDataTable.
You can use this block of code to test and study environments, with the purpose of generating and populate a table with random data.
So here's a little friendly advice and tough-love from a retired MVP... Embrace being wrong. Embrace this community as a community of people that's out to help everyone, even MVPs. Embrace the learning you will experience if you humble down a bit and learn from those trying to help you instead of taking offense to their offerings or making back-peddle excuses . Always remember that the MVP award is a "service to the community award" and not a badge of knowledge or in anyway that is a certification of knowledge. Embrace the fact that if such offerings of constructive criticism make you think someone is calling you an "amateur" (and I patently did not nor even infer it never mind saying it), then that's all on you and only you have the power to change that by learning what everyone needs to learn, MVP or not... you are not perfect and, even if you are a true genius on a given subject, expect challenges and rise to the occasion because... that's how this community and the individuals that embrace it keep getting better. Always ask "Is there a better way" and always embrace those that say, "Lemme show you something" even if it's not quite that polite (and I was... I only dealt with facts). And always remember that the most learning occurs in the discussions that follow an article.
Now... shall I welcome a new member of SSC that took the time and effort to post something to the community as a friend? Or would you rather keep knocking that shinny new MVP ring. 😉
