I'm glad I'm not the only Twitter noob around here 😀
It looks like there's quite a few of us jumping into this twitter thing all at once. :w00t:

Indeed 😀

Regarding the #sqlhelp thing, I guess it is sufficient to just add that hash tag to your tweet so that it can be picked up by others?

Otherwise it's quite silly that I gave someone help when (almost) no-one can read it 🙂

@Gianluca: thanks, following you right back 🙂

I'm writing a QotD dealing with actions NOT logged - so:

1. Does anyone have some good things that people think are not logged, but actually are (table variables, truncate table already covered - looking for other myths to bust).

2. Does anyone want to be a quality check on this question before I submit it?

Thanks!

My wife is going to take some classes on her hobby of Soaps and Candles at Duxbury, Boston. They have only one Bed & breakfast there and from what she found out, it is not good.

Where would you recommend her to stay that is near Duxbury that is safe and close by that she can travel back and forth everyday?

That's a yes to your #sqlhelp question, Koen. Save the search, and you can jump back to it at any time.

@jonmcrawford, blocked at work though, and old cell phone, so I only use it after hours.

Hmm.. Duxbury is south of Boston on the shore. I've never really been down that way. How long do you have before you need to know, I can ask around from friends who know the area better than I do.
