I can understand basic, foundational questions, but what has been driving me batty lately are the questions that you can copy and paste into google and click "I'm Feeling Lucky" and get the correct solutions[/url].
I am just seeing a lot of people that do not do any work before posting. Then they proceed to make you pull teeth to get enough information to actually answer the question.
It could just be that I haven't had enough sleep.

It could be sleep deprivation, but I don't think it is. That's the reason I stopped answering questions. It just got to the point where it was too much of a struggle to help someone who said they wanted help, but then showed otherwise. All it did was cause frustration and fill up my inbox.

It's called gaslighting. It's such a shame and it makes me sick to read this.

Sometimes you have to wonder.
I put together an extract of data for one of our clients for monthly invoicing. It's one of those clients that need to have all kinds of special things done for them. Lots of manual work. So, instead of getting a ticket to generate the spreadsheet every month, I put together a Flow (which is painful, BTW) to put the spreadsheet on the Finance groups SharePoint site.
I didn't have rights to that site. I ask the SharePoint admin to grant me the rights. Nope, it's finance, you shouldn't have access to that data.
Uh, I'm the DBA. I can see every damn piece of data in the entire company.
Thankfully the Finance director who is the owner of the SharePoint site had sense enough to add me.

If you assassinate a DBA, would you pull a trigger?

Block the source - brilliant!
DBA is not a job that should be a title bestowed on someone lightly. They are indeed trusted to protect valuable information.
I can remember 20 years ago a similar situation involving when I used FrontPage with frames, and they came up with a standard of DreamWeaver and no frames. I met with Sally, and she saw I could mimic their template, still using frames, and not have to rebuild everything. Our meeting ended with the understanding there was no real value in their standard for our group. Just don’t tell anyone, your content of over 1500 graphs updated daily is not the typical publisher we had in mind.
Like you, I found the right person who understood the problem. Standards are good to a point, and there are sometimes good reasons to make exceptions.

Always thought that Micro$oft got the SharePoint name wrong, SharePain is far more appropriate 😉

Jokes apart, far too often we see access blocked by someone, just because they can, not that it makes any sense doing so. That is in my opinion, at least a Yellow Card Booking (English Football terms)

SharePain. I have to remember that.

Poor sod, an accidental DBA victim.

Accidental is indeed a gentle description. Looks like the OS is the same, and the file being loaded, and everything else differs.
Finish your coffee before taking a peek. Or there may be another accident.

Two almost identical sauce pots on the hob, similar ingredients but once you lift the lid, the contents are entirely different.

If we explore this further, we will get the perfect recipe for a slow roast 😉

They truly do have the possibility of learning a lot, if they they grab it.
Although a couple important details have been left out. Like if either is a production environment. And whether the goal is to improve performance on one or both boxes. Looking at Developer on one box, while a different version of Standard is on the other, they are indeed set up for other challenges if they don’t understand the implications.
I’d hate to assume too much, but just the description of the slower box implies a lot besides sql server will come into play.

RANT: We are 9 post into page 4.351 of this post. But the link from the 'Active Threads' still takes me to the top of page 4,350. Does this bother anyone else? Or is it just me? I would've thought that this would be fixed by now.
