  • RE: Is It Worth Upgrading to SQL Server 2008

    I'm not sure I'd agree that SS2K5 was built to sell VS. It was a good product, groundbreaking for SQL Server in terms of growing the product. Adding in Service...

  • RE: Temp Tables

    I had the chance to tour Falling Water in 98, and heard about a number of the issues that came about over time. It is an amazing structure and this...
