    Too many of these posters don't realize the level of expertise that they are getting here. Maybe you all need more intimidating titles like "Grand Intergalactic SQL Master" or something. 🙂 Or, at least displaying the alphabet soup might make one or two pause before challenging your advice.

    Alphabet soup doesn't help. Just a few weeks ago, someone we tried to help insisted on the opinion of Microsoft employees or "true" SQL experts.

    Link? Title? Please?

    I remember that one also... can't find it now. :angry:

    I'll probably add a couple items sometime, but just a couple, not the entire list.

    I just had a fun one. Told someone that they shouldn't run Backup log with truncate only as it breaks the log chain. So they reference an article that they say refutes what I'm saying. The article they linked to is one I wrote.

    😀

    Gail has decided to take on a split personality 😉

    I think it should be Alphabet soup with meatballs.

    OK: my rate is $300/hr.

    If I cost as much as Microsoft I must be a "true" SQL expert. :hehe:

    Ooooh - brainstorming. I think that is a good rate.

    Wasn't that thread deleted or at least closed by Steve? Maybe he could remember which on it is.

  • Don't believe that I deleted that thread, or at least don't remember that.

    That's because you deleted it so thoroughly. I don't know how many levels down Leo had to go, but I haven't seen him since...

    Ya but you closed it.

    It's Syed that wanted a MS link, so we're still looking for the thread in question.

  • Actually, it's not that post, Ninja. There was another one that I responded to in the first few posts and the guy didn't want to listen to me, Gus, and Jason. ... And possibly you.

    Then Steve had to jump in. I posted the link on The Thread a while back. I just don't remember which it was.

    I think it is that thread - though it doesn't outright say it.

    It's been gone for weeks, maybe longer. Took it out after I noticed that Syed's response to me putting the qualifications in was to expand his sig further so that it was longer and had more items than mine. 🙁
