  • RE: Disable database engine tuning advisor?

    Ninja's_RGR'us (5/25/2011)


    My issue with it is that if you kill periodically then possibly DTA will auto-reconnect.

    Another issue is that this could leave hypothetical indexes in the database. I'm not...

  • RE: passing parameter to view

    You don't need to use a view to see data that you're not currently trying to modify. You can just select from the table:

  • RE: Treat People Like People

    sknox (5/25/2011)


    I always hate it when supposedly intelligent people try to group others together by something as nebulous as a generation. They meticulously compile and analyze statistics to get to...

  • RE: Negotiating Your Raise Before Your Annual Review

    PhilDaniels (5/24/2011)


    I tend to think that we have a skewed vision of work-life balance in this country. Some companies are quite good about this. Others; they'll take as much as...

  • RE: Negotiating Your Raise Before Your Annual Review

    Personally, I would love to be making enough money where an extra couple hundred dollars a month doesn't mean anything. I do agree that 2% is more of a...

  • RE: Negotiating Your Raise Before Your Annual Review

    My favorite was when I was changing positions right around review time. I jokingly told my manager that she should give me the biggest raise possible since it wouldn't...

  • RE: MSSQL 2008 R2 Web ??

    Take a look at the link. It's a list of the different editions and a comparison of them. For the most part a database coded for one edition...

  • RE: Which Bugs Do You Find?

    In my last position we had a number of bugs due to all sorts of reasons. Scope creep (more like scope sprint). Poorly defined requirements. Inexperienced off-shore...

  • RE: Stalking the Bad Guys

    Part of this is going to be balancing the risk between turning off functionality that you're not familiar with and how much damage can happen if you don't. There...

    roger.plowman (5/17/2011)


    Think about it. Would *you* want somebody who enjoyed high-stakes risk taking being a DBA? Really? (laughing)

    Depends. I take risks all the time, just not with the data....

  • RE: Know Your SQL Objects

    Christian Buettner-167247 (5/13/2011)


    As mentioned above, the answer for

    Again: WHAAT???

    I don't have the time right now to read the entire discussion....

  • RE: Know Your SQL Objects
