    ...the complexity of relational database concepts...

    I'd argue that the concepts are not that complex at all. That is why it is so shocking and disgraceful how much...

    Bandwidth, latency and data out of the country (for 1 and 3)

    I see the same. Plus in the EU it's probably illegal to host the data outside the...

  • RE: Turn Out the Lights

    Ed Wagner (1/18/2016)


    Personally, I'm one of those who won't "turn out the lights" on my servers. In my mind, having a system available and performant trumps the cost of...

    Also, if programmers were not allowed to write SQL code.

    In my experience i've noticed that when people writing SQL code are not programmers the result is often...

    The default behavior is to use the database user with the same name you use to login to the server with, if anything I...

  • RE: Count Function Result (2)

    Toreador (1/25/2016)


    Again, a good idea, but the choices available meant I only had to think about the first two before I got a unique option.

    Yes, if you know how COUNT...

  • RE: Datetime2 defaults

    Ed Wagner (1/21/2016)


    An easy one every once in a while is nice.

    Steve Jones - SSC Editor (1/20/2016)

  • RE: Why Use the Principle of Least Privilege?

    roger.plowman (1/19/2016)


    Which is my entire point.

    SQL (in most of its variants) makes it stupidly easy to SQL inject. We can control our own code, but what about a third party...

  • RE: Index Scan: Ordered or not?

    Great question. And explanation.

    I should have thought about this for longer before picking an answer at random. I might have realised that an ORDER BY...
