    People who act like they know everything already when you offer a suggestion, then proceed to mess it up and ask for your help to solve it.

    People who, after you...

  • RE: Is SQL Server Mature?

    SQL Server is a good product.  However as with most other Microsoft products, Microsoft is generating revenue from making versions "unsupported" which then forces people to upgrade otherwise they fail...

  • RE: Handling Inconvenient Requests

    It depends on the request, the way it is made, who makes it and the time constraints.
    In general I am not a first line support person, so requests for...

  • RE: Avoiding Stored Procedures

    As with most arguments like this there isn't a one size fits all.

    I work on a system which uses Entity Framework and was jointly developed with another company....

  • RE: Are We Engineers?

    I agree that we are more like scientists than engineers. There is a certain element of experimentation within controlled limits.

    You produce a solution that you have tested (hopefully!!), but...

  • RE: Are We Engineers?

    I would certainly welcome a platform-independent way of obtaining a lasting certification that only required renewal say every 5 years.

    I went to the trouble of getting one Microsoft cert and...

  • RE: Database in Recovery Pending State

    Just to add I had this problem on a test server where the log disk had been replaced with a larger disk. Manually restarting SQL Server resolved the issue.

    I couldn't agree more. I am currently working on a .net/SQL Server app which uses Entity Framework/Linq (not my idea) for 98% of the data access. The SQL...

  • RE: Career Advice Needed

    Firing you because they found out you went to an interview sounds borderline illegal to me, but I'll guess you have checked into that. (I live in the UK -...

  • RE: ETL

    We still have a lot of DTS, although we try and do anything new in SSIS. My impression is that although SSIS is more powerful, it is much harder...

  • RE: Transaction Log Full in Simple Recovery mode

    Shrinkfile would have failed, the log header was corrupt. No amount of shrinking would help here, the problem was not that the log was too large, it was that the...

  • RE: Transaction Log Full in Simple Recovery mode

    Just a thought for everyone and more of a question than a suggestion but in this situation would not be worth shrinking the log file with DBCC SHRINKFILE?
