Yep,

They are an external (an theoretically neutral) department with no connection to the issues involved. Effectively they are for external verification that you raised an issue and it wasn't dealt with.

Theoretically your union could provide the same function but good union reps are hard to find, plus they tend to be antagonistic towards management.

A good HR department is supposed to advise on personnel issue, rights/benefits etc. They are not just for hiring, firing and looking pretty in the mean time, though they seem to manage the latter with ease.

Theory and practice sometimes differ

3 out of 4 isn't bad at all, I'd say

Has anybody mentioned using SQL Server Best Practice Analyzer yet? It can be downloaded from MS.

Oops!

I have got to say I am excited about the response from the community (dare I say My Community) we have gotten here. I will continue to fight this fight I have my managers full support and his. So when this is all done I will post some of the arguments presented.

One more thing, they have already started to mention Yukon and .NET v2, saying that these allow for native SQL objects to be written there, trust me I will look into this, but thought again I would throw this out there as this will definately be one of his(dev manager) arguments.

Thanks all

Another reason for the simple minded to implement whatever comes up , same like buying a bigger box if the current one can nolonger cope with what's being run on it.

But it's a ggrrreeaaatt tool

Perhaps someone has developed a list of pros and cons to make a case for either side of this "inline vs. proc" argument...weight could be added to each bullet point and tallied to see which side's argument holds more water.

Just a thought...

Now that you've mentioned Yukon and the implementation of the CLR, the only thing that comes to mind is:

Good bye to clean set-based approach, welcome row-by-row processing.
