  • RE: Ambiguous column name error

    Okay, now that's just weird.  I had never noticed this behavior from SQL Server 2005, but you are absolutely correct.  When I only specific one column in the SELECT (out of...

  • RE: Notify Admin on MasterKey backup

    I haven't tried this, but you might investigate setting up a DDL trigger on the certification events.  Or check the other DDL Events and Event Groups to see if something...

  • RE: MS Office Live users - beware of scam

    I can see your point, but I still quibble with the word "scam".  The way I understand a scam to be is that you pay money, get nothing in return...

  • RE: Server Administrator Permissions

  • RE: Launches and RTM

    Unfortunately, I see events like this all the time.  They're called Vendor Shows.  It doesn't matter what industry you're in (software, hardware, rental, industrial, etc.), everyone holds a yearly event...

  • RE: Server Administrator Permissions

  • RE: Server Administrator Permissions

    Another instance when a DBA may have local admin rights on a box is when the DBA is responsible for "soft" server administration support.  This has been the case in...
