    Andrew, how do you cope with no annual leave? (If that's not too personal.)

    Simple! No job I've ever held so far has allowed me to have leave,...

  • RE: The Last Line of Defense

    Ha, you probably have a point :-). However, the sad part is, this place is a massive improvement from my last job! IT jobs in this part of...

  • RE: The Last Line of Defense

    Ah, geez... If only my current workplace could have a less-indispensable view of its programmers :-P.

    We work with a vendor software package that has... Interesting... Coding quirks....

  • RE: Just curious, what are your SQL pet peeves ?

    Yep, we're in the same boat as far as compatibility and versions go. We're technically not supposed to be using 2008R2 by the vendor's contract (2008 is the latest...

  • RE: updating records with BEGIN TRAN

    Gotcha :-). Misstep on my part for not looking into whether READ COMMITTED SNAPSHOT was present first. This database is pretty much just a stored procedure container for...

  • RE: updating records with BEGIN TRAN

    ... *Facepalm* Yep, it certainly does. For some reason, I was thinking that READ COMMITTED SNAPSHOT was also part of the isolation levels in sys.dm_exec_sessions. That...

    Argh. I too suffer under the burden of working with code littered with NOLOCK :(.

    The vendor software we use at my current company has NOLOCK...

  • RE: Are the posted questions getting worse?

    Oh great, now I look at my previous post and I notice I didn't even mention that part :-P. I'm the poster previously known as hisakimatama! Clearly my...

  • RE: Are the posted questions getting worse?

    Impromptu announcement-of-not-too-much-note time, I suppose!

    Decided to switch my posting name from one of my usual online aliases to my own name. Read Brad McGehee's book on becoming an exceptional...

  • RE: SQL Index

    Yep, definitely shouldn't be dropping and recreating the index each week. Using Ola's excellent maintenance plan to do REBUILD or REORGANIZE is definitely a better choice, and the root...

  • RE: WITH(NOLUCK)

    Yep, I've had that problem. Found NOLOCK all over the coding in the vendor-provided software at my current workplace my second day there, and reported it to my supervisor,...
