You had some errant carriage returns that made the ifcode read it wrong.

Right back at you and to everyone.

Yule just past, but Kris Kringle still has yet to visit and New Year's is just around the corner. I hope everyone is safe & secure through the Season.

Frankly, I'm surprised it took that long! (Unless we're building up to the best? That works!)

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!

It's funny, most of the posts on my blog are related to performance (execution plans, indexes, T-SQL performance comparisons or concerns). So what's one of the most read, most referenced posts? The one on how to recover from a deleted transaction log.

The same post keeps showing up in the top 10 on SQLServerpedia. Kinda worrying that so many people need that info.
