  • RE: Multi thereading

    Deadlocks are caused by unresolvable resource conflicts. Two jobs inserting into the same table usually won't cause one. SQL Server can usually handle it with locks.

  • RE: PK violation but still a commitable transaction

  • RE: The Danger of Algorithms

    I recently read an interesting argument in favor of publishing all SSNs publicly, and removing them from all security systems. Not sure I agree, but it should be considered.
