'...I consider the database just to be a big bucket to put stuff in...'We (and I include myself in the victim population) are in so much trouble as the clouds form. The Cloud® really is just a big "bucket" (the developers' nirvana) to store stuff in.
Heh. Well, just like the name suggests, quite often "The Cloud" is vaporware, whether by implementation, false or very expensive promises, and/or total lack of understanding by those that were mesmerized into buying in to it. Then the winds blow, and the warm pillowing fuzzy becomes a hard stinging rain.

sitting on the bus pondering the world of data and the conversation here and it struck me, we all very able and competent professionals. and yet the main issue is not technical competance, its the inability of those who should know better and let us get on and keep the data in the best shape. it managerial ineptitude, in not allowing the paid professionals do what we're good at. normalization ,cursors and other techniques might be debated but at the end of the day, it is our ability to present our expertise, offer our solutions(pearls before swine methinks) and move to the next challenge. sorry for being overly philosophical.

One aspect of being a field consultant that I loved was that was every project had a definite END and I could pick a new client and move on to the next gig if I was singin' the blues or doing my impression of Eeyore.
I'm glad I talked the Mrs. into buying me a motorcycle so I don't have to ride the bus if that's what riding the bus feels like!
Wow, Malcolm. Check your caffeine drip and make sure the IV is still attached!

Hi All,
I think the DBA's can create a DDL trigger to fortify , to enforce the rules that absouletly want.

The cloud is here, and get ready to start debugging a few tables spread throughout the cloud and not performing well!

Heh... "Azure"... is that like a "Purple Haze"? 😛

RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.

We'll probably feel like we're in a purple haze as more apps get built with this thing!

I rather liked the Slashdot comments about Azure Screens of Death. :hehe:I'm still sad that they removed the red ones from Longhorn. Red feels more like the computer is empathizing with my immediate emotional response than blue...

I would not look at it as empathy: if a server is doing BSODs (or RSODs) on me, it's the enemy and I don't want empathy. 😀
(infernal machine would be something that comes to mind)
I didn't know Longhorn did RSODs, I don't work directly with servers as much these days, but I can see why they changed it. Think about it from the perspective of psychology of colors. An RSOD would be more likely to increase your agitation, the blue might (a very small might) have a calming effect, but the frequency of occurrence might negate that alleged benefit.

I imagine MS chose blue as a mercy cry - trying to give you a calm colour rather than angry red, as you pound your fists down on the keyboard! lol

RSOD - like a red rag to a bull?
Who here is under the age of 25 and male?
If your answer is 'me' then you are in the demographic for increased chance of Monitor Headbutting syndrome. 😀

LMAO!
I actually changed my post to hitting the keyboard from headbutting the monitor, and as it happens I'm a 24 year old male!
