• Fatal Exception Error (3/5/2010)

    BTW - I thought of a few more assumptions that should have been included:

    --Assume you are in the database containing tblUsers

    --Assume you have been granted rights to select from tblUsers

    --Assume the server has available memory

    --Assume there is "sufficient" (whatever that means) disk space on the drive containing tempdb

    --Assume the server room has available power (line or generator)

    --Assume the server is plugged in

    --Assume the server is on

    --Assume the hippo is asleep

    Thanks for trivializing a legitimate gripe despite what you believe.

    The fact of the matter is any of the answers presented would have been correct given a certain set of assumptions. There were really no wrong answers.

    Please go ahead and continue mocking me and others that feel the same as I do by posting an asinine list of assumptions. It is not like other QOTD's never included Create Table or Insert statements.

    Chad wasn't trivializing your gripe, just exaggerating the request for eliminating assumptions. Just how far do you take it?
