    The Dixie Flatline (5/31/2011)


    Could 42 possibly be the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?

    Considering that we haven't defined either length or time units, I say it's PRECISELY that. For...

  • RE: Trigger EXE each time a record is added

    This could be done through calling a .NET CLR trigger, but it's not a good idea. Better bet is, as already mentioned, set up a queue and a job...

    What is the *REAL* question here?

    What's the meaning of "42"?

  • RE: About Copy Database function

    It will be slow.

    There are several better methods of doing this. You'll want to look into Replication, Mirroring, and Log Shipping. Most likely, Replication is what you need.

    Best tools for that would be any of the ORM tools, like Linq or nHibernate. Don't do it in a proc, you'll just end up with injection vectors all...
