    1. A moving target. Every time a reasonable answer is proposed, "that won't...

  • RE: Using Schema for Logical Organization

    Using what MS calls schemas to separate different parts of the data is fine, but I don't think a hierarhic relation between schemas would make sense: SQLServer is a (nearly)...
