EEEK! I just sold another story. Happy happy.
Now I have to write more.
Congrats Brandie. Wonderful job. 🙂 You can stop working as a DBA and be a full time writer now. 😀

Writing is easy (to a degree).

Becoming a best SELLER and living off those books is another story! 😉

It's not that difficult, Remi.

I'll just use my Jedi mind tricks to convince the world that I am James Patterson.

Congrats! I don't know how you do it AND keep up with SQL Server. I can't even keep up with SQL Server.

There's a reason why I'm not one of the SQL Server experts. @=) I just don't have time to sit and master SQL stuff outside of work. And at work, there are often too many fires...

Brandie Tarvin (11/10/2011)
How about queries with joins to tables that aren't used anywhere in the query. As if the dev changed track mid-stream and forgot to clean up afterwards? (I admit to being guilty for this one on the rare occasion.) :blush:

If they are INNER JOINs, I suppose they could be serving as filters even if they don't add to the column list. I've definitely done that (okay, I'm also guilty of forgetting to remove a JOIN that's no longer serving a purpose; requirements change, but then you think, "Well, they might just change back," and then a month later you've forgotten all about it ...)

+1. Just because Quebec wants to be "unique". All contests like this are prety much auto-banned because the contest owner doesn't want to waste time translating everything to french!

Like I need that to win a effing contest :crazy:.
