    I see SanDroid has started digging again...

    How deep can he dig before the heat makes him stop? Or do we have a new version of the China syndrome?

    Is it possible? He says he's going to stop posting!

  • Personal side note: OMGWTFBBQ. Today is annoying. I've got a failure in QA I can't reproduce in Dev with the same load files. Now I need to go through the entire schema with a fine toothed comb to figure out what didn't get into a rollscript.

    I need a reversed trigger paintball marker today.

    Just to add to the fun, I have a dental appointment in an hour to make things even more... pleasant.

    EDIT: Ah, that's a little better. Sorry for the livejournal moment, but I needed to vent.

    Hey - this is Grant. Did you try Red Gate's SQL Compare? It might be worth using the free trial - load it up, point it at both databases and sit back and wait....

    Thanks Grant, this is Gail. I thought about it but the war to install 'new software' around here is... uncomfortable. Lockdown from on high. If I use my katana as a bargaining tool anymore HR said they'd reprimand me for having shinier things then the rest of the techies and making them jealous.

  • You all are making me looking foolish because I am laughing when going through a SQL Forum. I am getting some strange looks. 😀

    I'm sure y'all already know, but today is the last day of $299 price for SQLRally. Goes up to $349 tomorrow and then $399 May 1st. Also if you want to be in Grant's Performance Tuning pre-con you need to get in as it is filling up. The BI pre-con is filling up as well.

    Still not used to "Jack's" "new" avatar... I was sitting here thinking that this sure is an odd post for Gail to be posting.

    8pm is unusual?

    I was at a usergroup meeting

    p.s. Ok, this is nuts.

    Edit: sorry, I read you post as 'an odd time'

    @steve-2: how many active posters with GilaMonster avatars are needed before the cube icon in the SSC logo is replaced by a GilaMonster picture? 😛
