If you wanted a small jingle... (sung to the tune of "Row, Row, Row Your Boat")
You shouldn't mention that in an SQL forum: "Row" is unspeakable, think of columns and sets instead. :hehe:
Should this be mentioned "just for the record" :w00t:

I don't get the SQL Spackle reference, but if the author should definitely be shown as Phil McCracken 😎
Spackle is a very local brand name, probably unheard of outside NA (maybe even unheard of outside USA). Better to use something that has meaning worldwide (would "Polyfiller" be understood in the States?).

BTW, SSC usually has a blogger at the blogger table during the PASS Summit. Usually it's me, someone that can take notes during keynotes and post them. Since I won't be there....any of you rapid posters want to lug a laptop to the keynote each day and take some notes and post a blog? One a day is fine, more are better, but up to you.
Ping me if you want the spot.
I’d volunteer to help you there, but I’m already doing it for my own blog. I couldn’t write twice.
Or maybe I could. I could argue with myself between the blogs
“This Dell guy is boring me to death.”
“What are you talking about, we really need to know that we should be taking backups”
“What are you a child?”
“You’re just mean”
… or not.

Great idea. As a side bar... you may not be able to tell the last time a table was accessed but... you should be able to tell the last time one of the indexes on the table was used which would equate to the same thing.
Not the way I code :hehe: Indexes are for weenies

OK, sign up for articles. Please just pick one, then another when you finish.If you have ideas, feel free to post them, but try to pick things you see a couple times in the forums.
Curious, are there unanswered questions at ask.sqlservercentral.com that could serve as fodder for this list?

Possibly, but probably not. I've gone through a lot of the unanswered questions on SSC (with my VAST powers of editing I was choosing answers on questions that had clearly been answered well). Most of the ones that are not answered are not answered because a good answer wasn't selected by the original poster. The remaining unanswered questions are frequently so badly phrased that it's difficult to understand what being asked, so the answers are frequently requests for more information. There are a few that might supply some fodder.

I will be there with a lap top but I am not a rapid poster. If no one else is there, I can help. Too bad you wont be there.. 🙁

BTW, speaking of technical stuff....I wonder if any of you would be interested in writing to fill holes? I keep finding posts here, and elsewhere that someone answers a question about and we don't have an article on. Like our joyous person today that thinks there is some magical tool to audit the last time a table was accessed.
If you see something like that, and don't have an SSC reference, I'd love a 1 pager that solves the problem for future reference.
Put me down for that. Worst problem I have it trying to think up stuff to write about.
I'll see you that problem and raise you a "ran out of time to do it just yet"

I'll see your "no time to write" with a "too much to write" and raise you a plethora of signed-contracts-with-deadlines for which I have to pay back advances/penalties if I don't get the work done on time.

I'm not sure how much time I'll have. I'm part of the O.C. so may have a group with me on Tuesday and I'm doing Ambassador duty on Wednesday morning for the keynote. I could help on Thursday, but I think that is Dr. DeWitt's day and last year his keynote was WAY over my head, so if this year is anything like it I'm not sure I'd have anything coherent. Let me know if you need someone though and I'll do it.
