    At the time you present I'll be on a plane heading back to Amsterdam. Just going to make the one SQLSat this trip.

  • Yeah, Grant doesn't need to work anymore. He just needs to change all his answers to one standard response ... (example below)

    Poster: "How do I carve a turducken?"

    Grant: "Red Gate has a tool for that!"

    Grats!

    Nope. You're ahead of me on both quality and quantity. But I make up for it in... something.

  • I agree the questions are more basic. But this is due to the business side thinking that 'anyone' that has computer can be a dba.

    Case in point. I have friend who has co-worker dba that uses nothing but google to learn how to do his job.

    Blame the IT software industry for making everything so 'user friendly'. If we where all on command line syntax then there where be less basic questions.

    Dumbing of IT using the graphical interface.
