  • RE: Looking for Microsoft trainer or instructor

    jeff.kaden (11/19/2008)


    Could anyone guide me through Microsoft trainers or some instructors? I'm looking for information about the best trainer available.

    Knowing where you are based in the world would be useful.

  • RE: Can a trigger affect .Net app performance?

    In general, triggers should not start jobs, send email, launch applications or anything of the sort. A trigger should be doing small data verifications or changes, nothing more.
