Put down the keyboard and back away slowly and noone will get hurt...How do you think this OP would do in our mock interview?
I'm going in. This could be fun.
Mind the quicksand...
Yeah, it does seem a bit sticky in there. Man, I hope that's not someone's production system.

OK. I'm seeing a pattern here. I'm probably done in that thread. However, I suspect if I stayed in there I'd have more posts than Steve within three or four days.

If your not back in an hour we'll send out search and rescue!
I want to know how much patience Grant and Gail has. They have entered that OPs thread. 🙂

Nope. There's several areas I know little about, have very little interest in and don't post about.

Yeah if you step away for more than a couple of hours you have to go back 3 pages to find out what is going on. Sort of like a soap opera but better... 🙂

So nobody is going to help our buddy figure out: "the correct name of the master database"?
For best practices on asking questions, please read the following article: Forum Etiquette: How to post data/code on a forum to get the best help[/url]
February 19, 2009 at 3:01 pm
The correct name of the master database is "Alfred". If the OP doesn't see it in his list, he should re-install SQL Server as many times as it takes to make it show up. OR call Microsoft and tell them his Alfred is missing. Why should the folks here get all the laughs.
February 19, 2009 at 3:08 pm
[font="Verdana"]Wait, isn't it Jack? Then he can ring Microsoft and say "I don't know Jack, and I can't find Jack."[/font]

How do you think this OP would do in our mock interview?
Dammit Lynn, you let the secret out!!!!
Be nice. He's new at this. (apparently)
Edit: Or maybe not. How have I managed to not notice this guy so far?
No he's not new. I started trying to help him on other posts over a month ago. He ignores polite attempts to prompt him to do it the right way, supply more information etc. His modus operandi is always:
OH PLEASE HELP ME! URGENT URGENT!!
I CAN'T UNDERSTAND ENOUGH TO TRY THINGS FOR MYSELF.
YOU HAVE TO WRITE THE CODE.
YOU HAVE TO FIX MY ERROR MESSAGES WHEN THEY POP UP
THANK YOU, EXPERT.
I'm going in. This could be fun.
You'll be sorry 😉
I think the OP in question may be either too dumb to breathe, or a liar. Either way, he wastes people's time. The "White House" comment just adds fuel to the fire. Maybe it's time to reconsider the idea of a "twit list".
Hmmmmm.... I seem to have been foaming at the mouth... let me go clean that up.....

He never said WHAT he did at the White House. He could have the dude running the lawn mower. Wait, that would mean knowing how to start it, and put it in gear, steer it in the direction he wanted to go....
Okay, maybe he just held the door for other people.
