    You know, someone should mention (for the lurkers), that Jeff actually paid attention to the Corporate Culture before "letting loose". He didn't just do it without having some foresight...

    Jack,

    Sort transform? Not sure what you mean by that. I don't see a Sort transform task.

  • RE: I got burned today at a SQL Server Interview!

    Roy,

    Have you ever thought about talking to your boss about this? Ask him why you've stopped getting recognition?

    It could be he has higher expectations of you since that moment...

    Okay, but we're still running under the assumption that @StartDate and @EndDate are constants set by the coder/end user. What if they're dynamic?

    I have a situation where I actually...

    You actually have a separate DB to do the scrubbing?
