My former management used to tell me the same thing. So I expect that people...

Welcome...

Excellent article. Thanks. I only wish I could use Firefox at work. Still, this is some interesting stuff. No, I hadn't been using a wiki to manage my info. I'm...

SELECT * FROM (SELECT * FROM dbo.MyTable);

We've been using it pretty extensively for years. Yeah, it pretty much takes over as a development mechanism on your databases. However, it doesn't replace SSMS. There's still stuff that...

Given my druthers, I go with a singular object name, but I've long ago stopped worrying about some of the silly stuff. This is especially true when we have people...
