  • RE: Speed or Value?

    Charles Kincaid (10/3/2008)


    Then, more on topic, I have customers that run their entire business on SQL Server Express. They already had the machine, OS, and AV. We show...

  • RE: Speed or Value?

    Ian Massi (10/3/2008)


    I thought the whole reason for SQL Server's success was its superior Price/Performance over Oracle. Not just licensing but development costs as well.

    Perhaps a more accurate statement...

  • RE: Speed or Value?

    Surely this is an unanswerable question. No performance comes without cost, so price cannot be removed from the equation altogether. However, even performance at a good nominal value could be...

  • RE: Managerial Relations

    Lots of good points in this article, Steve. Well done.

    I agree that pretty much every IT department feels understaffed and overworked. In fact, I'd even go so far as to...

  • RE: The Relational Manager

    Personally, I don't see a manager who doesn't understand what I do as a curse. What I do see as problem is if that manager doesn't understand how what I...

  • RE: Should He Stay or Should He Go?

    I think there's little doubt "Eric" should not be allowed to continue as is. However, I'd be wary of firing him, since it seems to me that much of this...

  • RE: How to retrieve Active directory user information through SQL server

    The only real downside to using ADSI is that you can't easily retrieve information from multi-valued fields (for instance, to retrieve group membership information). However, other than that it works...

  • RE: Face to Face

    We're all lazy in one area or another, and many will allow that laziness to form part of their communicating activities. On top of that, few people seem to realise...

  • RE: Happy Birthday

    What an intriguing article, especially given my birthday is coming up in the next couple of weeks.

    What I've asked for (and actually already got) for my birthday is a load...

  • RE: SQL in Latex

    timothyawiseman (9/6/2008)


    What is the best way to format SQL in Latex?

    Dunno. I do all my SQL formatting in nylon, with lace undies and diamante jewellery. I prefer dinner suit, bow...

  • RE: Two databases with the same physical file names and locations

    GSquared (9/9/2008)


    Michael Earl (9/9/2008)


    Along with questions, people post DDL and sample data in usable formats in that universe as well.

    So there are some benefits.

    Yeah, but it's already been said that...

    IceDread (9/11/2008)


    ...And I agree, excessive litigation does seem to be a uniquely USA-driven situation.

    Oh, I don't know. I'd say there's plenty of excessive litigation outside the US too -...

  • RE: Legal Liability

    I've had a bit of a think about this, and at the moment my answer is one of those "in an ideal world" scenarios. Not sure yet how it'd be...

  • RE: Soft Skills

    majorbloodnock (9/10/2008) Semper in excretia, sumus solum profundum variat


    😉

    We are always in the manure; only the depth varies

    Now what kind of soft skill is that?:P

    This might...

  • RE: Soft Skills

    No problem, Jeff. You'll find we're not disagreeing anyway. It's kind of the point I was trying to make; that soft skills are largely skills of persuasion, and that they...
