You need the points because you cannot officially call yourself a DBA until you have at least points = (my total -1) at the time you read this.

Ha Ha.
That was in the advert for my job, but I got around it by showing that my points per visit tally was better 😛

I hear a rumor that the points system will, in the future, be redeemable for cool DBA-related stuff.
Like a challenging T-SQL puzzle or a DBCC Timewarp upgrade. Or a Steve-in-Hawaiian-Shirt Picture Tee.

I have a stored procedure that runs
exec @rc = sp_trace_create @TraceID output, 0, @FileAddress, @maxfilesize, @Datetime....etc
when I execute the proc and examine the .trn file, the execution of the proc is always the first event recorded.
But it must have run before the trace started (as it starts the trace)
Does this mean that sometime in the future I will install DBCC TimeWarp, but configure it incorrectly?

No...
Let me guess, you're tracing batch completed. The statement starts the trace and then completes, hence the trace is running before the complete event fires.

Oh, no! I almost forgot. The big grand prize for the points redemption is a Flying Porkchop Flinger.
Save those points, boys and girls. It takes a couple of million of them to earn the FPF.

Good guess 🙂

On a serious and slightly related note. Years ago, I believe sometime around 2005, Steve and Red Gate gave out free copies of SQL Prompt for the "top posters" in a given month.
I'm not sure if they are still doing that, or if they plan on doing it again in the future.....

Damn - didn't realize there were so many uses for the points - I thought they were only a bit of fun

You can use them on most major airlines for free upgrades to DBA class.Just ask at the ticket counter when you check in.
Nice. How many point need for this upgrade ?
