Time To Recharge
Redgate is a great place to work for a lot of reasons. One of those has come up for me. It's time for my sabbatical. Every five years we get six weeks paid leave. Mine starts Monday. I'll still be clearing out my email (the thought of six weeks worth gives me horrors), and I'll […]

Shared Work Spaces: Hell, Heaven, Both?
I've just finished working in my fourth shared work space. I am not a fan. The endless hallways with all these little glassed in rooms where I can see everyone, and everyone can see me, are not my favorite places. I can see white boards with content that maybe I shouldn't be seeing. There are […]

Joining a Community
In the last week I've been actively trying to join the PostgreSQL community. It's been an interesting experience. I suspect it's going to stay interesting for a while. As part of what I'm doing, I saw this excellent video from Ryan Booz, talking about joining a new community. It got me to thinking. You have […]

Model Good Behavior
I'm answering a question in the forums and I spot something that crawls up my spine: ;WITH... The person was using a Common Table Expression (CTE) which requires that the preceding statement in the batch have a statement terminator, the semi-colon. However, since the terminator isn't required everywhere, lots of people don't use it at […]

Where the World Takes You
We're launching into a new year and there are lots of "looking into the future" articles out there. Personally, I'm pretty jazzed for the coming year for any number of reasons (can you say "SQL Server 2022"?). However, I also get a little retrospective at times like this. Now, I'm not going to talk about […]

Tell Your Loved Ones You Care
The Data Platform community lost a couple of people this week. Euan Garden and Dean Vargas. These were good people. They're going to be sorely missed. While I wanted to say something profound about them, I don't think I can do them justice. They were both simply good. The kind of people you want to […]

It's All About the Gratitude
I'm writing this the day after the US holiday of Thanksgiving. Lots of things are said about Thanksgiving, positive, negative, in between. The core concept of the holiday is to take a moment to take stock of what you have. It's a good idea. Every so often, look around and acknowledge, depending on anyone's situation, […]

Question of the Day
Which Result II
I have this code in SQL Server 2022:
CREATE SCHEMA etl;
GO
CREATE TABLE etl.product
(
ProductID INT,
ProductName VARCHAR(100)
);
GO
INSERT etl.product
VALUES
(2, 'Bee AI Wearable');
GO
CREATE TABLE dbo.product
(
ProductID INT,
ProductName VARCHAR(100)
);
GO
INSERT dbo.product
VALUES
(1, 'Spiral College-ruled Notebook');
GO
CREATE OR ALTER PROCEDURE etl.GettheProduct
AS
BEGIN
exec('SELECT ProductName FROM product;')
END;
GO
When I execute this code as a user whose default schema is dbo and has rights to the tables and proc, what is returned? See possible answers
