Case insensitive vs case sensitive, one of the reasons I write all my queries and t-sql code as if everything was case sensitive. Don't have to worry about it that way.

If you can't explain to another person how the code that you're copying from the internet works, then DON'T USE IT on a production system! After all, you will be the one supporting it!

All the more reason to be able to ask someone else.

Yesterday I had to update my default on a prompt to 2012.

Felt like just blanking it out.

The things we do to lower the noise level....

Or change it to current_year.

Or better, I have a function to save the default parameters for each users / reports. Never have to change a default ever again!

I hate underscores. I hate all caps naming. I have a special hatred for what I have in a system at the moment:
INSURANCECAMPAIGNREVIEW_STARTDATE

That sounds a lot like some tables I have seen in various vendor databases.
