  • RE: Cheap Fun

    We certainly found an excellent investment in a good book on paper aeroplanes. It's amazing how many of my kids' friends are continually thrilled by the idea of a paper...

  • RE: Talking To You Makes Me Smarter

    Anyone who has read Desiderata will recognise the line "...and listen to others, even the dull and ignorant; they too have their story". It's a good summary of this article.

  • RE: Fooling SQL Server

    I think this is one of those grey areas. I like my editorials to provoke thought, not to advertise. In this case, I think there is enough substance in the...

  • RE: Keeping Fresh

    I agree with what you've said, but think you've missed one vital point. All the suggestions you've made are good tactics to have at your disposal, but knowing which are...

    I can't believe I took the time to read this... or that you took the time to write it

    I feel the same way about your post. Not the most...

    In my experience developers have plenty of opportunity to interact with the whole business but they choose not to. They're not interested in contributing and assume that just coding...

    What I find interesting here is how much it bothers many of you out there that the query was never optimized in the normal sense.

    While I like the out-of-the-box solution, I don't think the article lives up to the title, which includes, "How to Increase Query Speed". This article does...
