  • RE: Access rights

    I agree with Jeff. You want to be careful with KILL. I've had it work 99% of the time, but that 1% can be really, really annoying and a killer.

    Instead,...

  • RE: Cyberwar

    I think I am the one who is having difficulty describing my point. Let me do it another way. If we take an example...

  • RE: Cyberwar

    Gary Varga (11/11/2013)


    Steve, sorry but I disagree. Yes, examples should be complete including best security practices where appropriate, however, it does have an impact on effort. Security needs planning, design...

  • RE: Cyberwar

    I'd still argue this is more an internal developer professionalism issue more than a business case.

    We, as people that teach and help others, need to present good examples and...

  • RE: Effectiveness

    Jeff Moden (11/8/2013)


    But "good enough" frequently means that something simply works for 5 or 10 rows and they ship it and that ain't "right". 😉 "Good enough" frequently means...

  • RE: Are the posted questions getting worse?

    Ed Wagner (11/8/2013)


    You know, thinking about this some more, it really is a shame we aren't more honest and transparent as a whole. I wonder what this says about...

  • RE: INDEXES

    both Ed and Gail have given good resources.

    the other thing I'd suggest is that you create a test copy of your db, run some queries, add indexes, and re-run them....

    Jeff Moden (11/7/2013)


    "Doing it right the first time" shouldn't be just a motto. It should be the best of all practices.

    What's "right"?

    Jeff, overall I agree that we should...

    And that's why "good enough" leads to HealthCare.gov type solutions. Sure, you can have bad developers who don't understand all the parts of the system and why certain approaches...

  • RE: Can't subscribe to 2014 forums RSS in Feedly

    It's not working for me either. No idea why. I've submitted a bug.

  • RE: What Do You Want to Learn?

    webrunner (11/8/2013)


    By the way, Steve, congratulations on your whirlwind tour. That sounds like a crazy amount of travel and work!!

    Thanks,

    Thanks. It was crazy, fun, and exhausting.

  • RE: How are Sys.Object Object_IDs Allocated?

    If it's a PK, you can't have a violation. However, not sure if values are reused.

  • RE: Permissions and encryption

    There are no grants for encrypting/decrypting data. This is controlled when a user can open a key that performs the function. This could be in a stored proc or with...

  • RE: Database went into Restoring State for unknown reason

    GilaMonster (11/7/2013)
