  • RE: Documenting the Undocumented

    Sounds reasonable in theory but there are some undocumented commands that have been around since the year dot. sp_msforeachdb being a case in point.

  • RE: New Security Holes

    This is one thing that needs very careful legislation and the mother of all big sticks to enforce it.

  • RE: A Break from Data

    Battleship was appalling but hugely entertaining.

    Alexander Skarsgard plays a guy called Stone Hopper. I kept thinking of his brother as "Cole" or "Grass".

    I think it is a case of the...

  • RE: The Best Way to Learn

    Training videos in e-books is a great idea!
