Do you give sysadmin rights to a DBA's regular LAN ID? We only grant admin rights to special ID's that aren't used for anything else. That prevents a bunch of...

There are clues that tip Customs agents to potential problems, and that's what determines who gets subjected to additional examination.
And that's why the system will never work, because...

umailedit, from personal experience, I can safely assert that US Customs is an equal opportunity organization in terms of who gets checked out. I've never seen any discrimination by Customs...

This is nothing new. US Customs has always had the power to seize and hold anything, or anyone, entering the United States. Customs can keep items for as long as...

Council House - house provided by the local council, the name for UK local government. Bad connotation because it's a welfare benefit. There are many families in the UK living...

Jeff, you pay school taxes? I thought schools just magically appeared and the other guy paid for them. After all, that's what government is for - to provide lots of...

If you grant datawriter, how do you prevent users from making changes to data outside the scope of a program? If you grant datawriter, can't a user just connect with...

We use stored procedures for several reasons. first, we don't have to give insert/update/delete access on tables to users. Yes, users can run the stroed procs from Access or other...

Thsoe DBA's may have been certifiable, but definitely weren't certified. They also wanted to start archiving data when database size reached 1GB, so I tend to believe they were mainframe...

The DBA's that specified the 50MB were of the opinion that aproperly designed application doesn't need more tempdb. I was glad I didn't have to deal with them. Our tempdb's...
