  • RE: Funny in Microsoft Press book

    I think the author's point was that maintenance used to be simple.  Then Microsoft re-wrote the whole thing and made it ten times more difficult in an effort to improve...

    Personally, I think the cost of being civil to your contractor / perspective employer after an interview is far, far less than the cost of not getting the job /...

    Bob - ROTFLOL.

    Steve, here's a non-economic misson critical server for you.  The little boxes they use in every tower at every national airport.  It's not about money when you lose...

  • RE: Reseed doesn''''t change column properties?

    Actually, I just discovered that if you run the DBCC command with NoReseed after the original ReSeed command (if there are values in the table), it will reset on the...

  • RE: How to skip the first row in an excel workbook

    Opps.  I guess I didn't make myself clear.

    What I meant to say was that each source can have it's different column count (use the max # of columns you think...

  • RE: How to skip the first row in an excel workbook

  • RE: Cross Joins

    Actually, in my original post, I did provide a better way to do it.  And if a variable doesn't work for you, there's always a WHILE LOOP or a UNION...

  • RE: The Work Perks You wish to have

    RSI?  Haven't heard that acronym before. 

    I hate to say it, but I can see why companies are so resistant to buying ergonomic furniture.  First, it's more expensive than the...

  • RE: Transaction Log backup size
