• It would have been nice if the start of the article contained a mention of to which versions of SQL Server the information is valid for. Many new DBA's may have to manage a shop where you can find verion 7.0, 2000, 2005, and soon 2008 all in use. Keeping straight what can be used where is a problem for new DBA's and part time SQL Server DBA's who work mainly with other databases.

    I also hate scrolling right to read text. Scrolling to read code isn't too bad but trying to read text in 4 word chunks is annoying. I do not mind scrolling up and down to read text but right, no.

    Any way fine article. Good blend on descriptive text and sample code.
