    The computer wants me to be happy.

    If I'm not happy, I'm not obeying the computer.

    Disobedience is treason, punishable by death.

    Right? πŸ˜›

    He's not scary! If worse comes to worse, buy him a beer after and all will be fine.

    Never stop learning, even if it hurts. Ego bruises are practically mandatory as you learn unless you've never risked enough to make a mistake.

    We're DBAs! We don't wait for "worse comes to worse" (by the way, it's supposed to be "worse comes to worst")!

    Buy him beers to prevent the problem before it becomes an issue!

    I was going to suggest buying Grant beers no matter what, but figured others would jump on that bandwagon.

    Hell no, I'm highly embarassed by it. I needed to use xp_cmdshell because I was too lazy to look into some convoluted alternates. :w00t: All the tables are non-ISO standard naming, too. It's just bad.

    That and the data's very dirty. Do you know hard it is to CLEAN a salami?! Especially when all your water's going on heads! GIGO man... gigo.... They ain't pretty.

    ... okay, I'll stop now. Probably. πŸ˜‰
