Noooooooo, not partial posts. There can be enough nonsense in this thread already.

Surely you don't expect all the posts to be impartial?

That reminds me of this tweet I saw on the SQLServerCentrl account: @SQLServerCentrl if a WHERE clause was unconditional, then it wouldn't be very useful... "Conditional WHERE Clauses" made me giggle, tnx 🙂

Is this Three Value Logic again? Partial/impartial/indifferent?

How would we define indifferent?

That is the term used to describe data found in multiple groups of differential backups

i.e.

The data needed to restore is indifferent.

Connections via SSC and LinkedIn have got my phone ringing off the hook (well, the phone isn't old enough to do that literally, but you get the idea) from recruiters and HR people looking for a DBA. I've had more activity since Jack and Andy connected me to a few people than I've had in the prior month. Thanks guys!
By the way, I was contacted about a position in Kansas City that you'd be qualified for. I haven't responded because I'm not moving to KC and I don't know anyone in that area.
I think we may have been contacted about the same position - I've had a couple recruiters ask me about KC. I'm not planning to move there so declined as well.
If your contact email looked like mine, it was simultaneously a**-kissing and completely generic. The guy waxed prolific about how great I am and how qualified without ever mentioning any specific thing I've done that makes him think so.
Regardless of the behavior of the head-hunter, it looked like an interesting position.

Great googly moogly. I just got a second spam from the same dude that I already told "NO"

Same exact shotgun blast.
