  • RE: Senior

    I have to admit, Joe's description is a pretty good one. @=)

  • RE: Senior

    To me, a senior DBA starts with a minimum of 1-2 years experience. 

    I know some people don't like to say years of experience have anything to do with what a senior...

  • RE: Upgrades

    David,

    Your schedule works great, for those of us whose only job duties are server upgrades. @=)

    Though, I suppose if the products worked out of the box every time (or at least 99.9%...

  • RE: Select...Into and Identity columns problem

    Huh.  That's odd.  It's never done that to me before.  Though most of the time, when I'm going back and doing inserts, it's on tables created by the results of...

  • RE: Restrict Agent Jobs

    And if the other developers are sysadmin, you can run the Deny statement, but they can just undo it later on.

  • RE: Select...Into and Identity columns problem

    Easily solved, yes, but that doesn't explain why I got the error message in the first place.  All I did was a SELECT...INTO.  Nothing else except using that table in...

  • RE: Upgrades

    My thoughts are 3-4 years (preferably 4) between releases is a good idea.

    Consider this: Not everyone is going to jump on the upgrade bandwagon.  Of those who do, 85% of...

  • RE: Database Administration Certification

    Given what Steve Jones has said in another thread, I'm planning on taking 431 first before I take 447.  Apparently 431 is the hardest of the Admin exams. I figure if...

  • RE: What Kind of DBA Are You?

    Well, I support the production environment (Data fixes, performance monitoring, backups, etc.).  I support the Dev/Test/QC environments (backups, restores, releasing T-SQL code created by our development team).  I do schema...

  • RE: MeasureUp Practice Exams?

    Steve,

    I thank you for your thoughts on that one.  I was going to take 431 first and the 447 (the upgrade).  I've been working with SSMS for the past 6+...

  • RE: Transcenders

    I have to wonder if someone from Transceder isn't working with the MS crew that they can be that good with the exams and not get sued.  Surely MS would...

  • RE: Backing Up a Database with SMO

    Good catch on the typos!  Thanks for pointing them out.

    I apologize for not mentioning the Security Settings.  I re-create this project 3 times to make sure my code worked consistantly and...

  • RE: Losing data string in Union All

    Bob,

    Actually, I finally figured out what the problem is.  It isn't SSIS (per say), but the Excel connection to SSIS.  Even if I pull a sheet with data first, each...

  • RE: Backing Up a Database with SMO

    Honestly, I haven't actually worked Visual Basic Express, just Studio 2005.  Google has lots of information about SQL Server Express and the SMO object, but I can't seem to find...
