If you can't explain to another person how the code that you're copying from the internet works, then DON'T USE IT on a production system! After all, you will be the one supporting it!

That is the perfect analogy. I may have to "borrow" that phrase. 😉

Thank you, kind Sir and thank you and all the denizens of this fine forum for what you do, as well Here's a pic of the post that did it...

My millionth point on SQL Server Central

It's been and continues to be a real pleasure to work and commiserate with people like yourself, Jonathan. Seems like I've know quite a few of you "forever"... at least through a couple of generations of Developers. 😀

Congrats, Jeff. Quite an achievement. I used to try and keep ahead, but haven't bothered.

Now I wonder where I get to 1mm first. Here or in miles flown. At 775k with United and at least 30 more booked this year.

Congratulations on the milestone Jeff.

You helped out years ago in my SQL journey and have always found you posts to be insightful - one of the good guys

One million points? I have 26,435. I should hit a million by the time I'm as old as Jeff.

I'm absolutely going to cross the flying miles first. I'm only about 130 miles away right now. Next trip will do it. I'm still a LONG way away locally.
