    In general, I'd say that's a hint to blow the dust off the resume.

    Unfortunately I agree with Grant here. It's never a good sign when...

  • RE: Runaway SQL Profiler trace cannot be stopped

  • RE: how can i exclude data based on 2 columns?

    Add "and e.server_name is null" to your Where clause.

  • RE: Trigger privilege issue
