Well, if you are willing to post updates to your article as they drip in, that will work just as well.

Thanks for your efforts.

This page would truly work better as a wiki than a post and comments.

The single most helpful tool I don't see regularly used is a table count and date on all the tables, followed by a periodic grab of the data.

Very nice technical presentation.

Did you do a cost comparison or model as well?

Is there a good cost modeler?

Is there a useful way to include row counts in your process?
