I can't comment on the kick-back program as it's currently configured. Suffice to say, if you've received a check, you earned it.
And if you've received a kick, you probably deserved it as well.

No. Most people don't see embedded links, though, because the font size change makes the blue color blend into the black and seem like normal text instead of the bolded text it's supposed to show up as.

An overflowing glass of water. At least I'm assuming it's water. It might be vodka. That might help to explain things too.

Unless you sometimes read with your mouse pointer, it can be rather subtle.

Is there any other method than using the mouse pointer? There are so many words on the screen. How else to keep track where the next word is to look up in the dictionary? 🙂

I went to the latest SQL Server Saturday in Boston and had a great time. I'm mentioning it now because I've been using a little trick I learned in one of the sessions and it reminds me how valuable these events are. Sure I learned a lot of theory and concepts, but day to day I find myself using this little SSMS throwaway tip.Under your table name, click on the Columns folder and drag it to your query window and you get a complete list of all your columns. A time saver and makes me less likely to use * even in quick queries I don't intend to use more than once.
Sure, it seems a ridiculous, little thing to rave about, but when you learn something you use every day, that changes the way you code, you find yourself thanking the person that you learned it from every day.
SQL Server Saturdays are awesome and I'd never have known about them if it wasn't for SQLServerCentral.com
Thanks for sharing that. While we are on the topic I figured I would share too 🙂
The drag-and-drop feature you mentioned between the Object Explorer and a Query Window works on all proc and function Parameter tree items as well.
I don't get paid from RedGate, but I have been using SQL Prompt for years and they have it figured out. If I type SELECT * FROM dbo.Table; and then put my cursor immediately after the * and hit Tab it expands the * to the set of column names from dbo.Table. The expansion works on queries with JOINs too.
Thanks for mentioning that, still amazes me how people haven't caught onto that one. Also, the auto-join suggestions are useless unless you move your cursor just after the table you want to join to.
Priceless tool, and SSMS toolspack is great too, but since work bought SQL Prompt, that's what I'm using mostly. Love me some snippets!
