Ha - I first read that as "Execution Assistant..."

That would have been funny.:-D Would go really well with the #inappropriatePASSSessions tag on twitter.

If you can't explain to another person how the code that you're copying from the internet works, then DON'T USE IT on a production system! After all, you will be the one supporting it!

Reminds me of the classic response from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' coach, when asked about the execution of his team: "I think it would be a good idea!"

Hi, my name is Lynn and I am a former MS SQL Server JOATMON.

Looks like my new job may be morphing some more, looks like I may be adding Data Architect to the developer role. Unfortunately it's still with the "O" word. Turns out the individual I will be replacing on this particular team is also SQL Server person. Comment today, the more he works with PL/SQL the more he misses T-SQL.

Definately will try to be on the forums more at night!

As Willie might have said:

On the forum again.

Just can't wait to get on the forum again.

The life I love is talking SQL with my friends.

Just can't wait to get on the forum again.

Well then, perfect segue to Google's new realtime search, search for that hashtag (the #inappropriatePassSessions keyword) here, http://www.google.com/realtime, and then call the medics to un-bust your gut.

That was fun last night. Really cut into my schoolwork, but whattayagonnado...

Dave, interesting idea for the "nugget" presentations for your Kent usergroup. Has anyone else done that? (5-10 minute presentations on a specific feature)

That post kills me. Posted in it, but no backup, and I don't have any money.

If it's important, buy the tool. If it's not, move on.

BTW, to a large extent, Monday's editorial (Aug 30) is meant for you citizens of The Thread.

Thanks for the support.
