Totally unrelated - as usual in this topic - I got the MCSE Business Intelligence certificate today.Because someone has to answer all those BI questions on this forum 😉
WOW! Well done, Koen!

And again totally unrelated. Does anyone have an answer to the question I asked here? Steve perhaps? Talking about "Performance Tuning with SQL Server Dynamic Management Views" by Louis Davidson and Tim Ford. Would be really appreciated, because copying the code from the book isn't exactly simple.
Thanks guys!
BTW, Happy Easter to whoever celebrates it.

No idea, but I passed the link on to the people that handle books.

Does anybody know who has the silver spoon, I can't seem to find it.

Mindblock and language barrier on the OP's side I guess. You asked him often enough to supply what's needed. Someone else needs to take over. I'll give it a shot to get him to supply that, but don't expect miracles.

Good answer: http://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/167452/what-are-the-most-effective-ways-to-guide-new-users/167510#167510I know we don't keep people away, but treating them with respect, somewhat without regards to how snippy they may appear, is something I would hope we strive for.

Heartiest of congratulations to you on this accomplishment!
The best I can boast of is having serious certificate envy. 😛
My thought question: Have you ever been told that your query runs too fast?
My advice:
INDEXing a poor-performing query is like putting sugar on cat food. Yeah, it probably tastes better but are you sure you want to eat it?
The path of least resistance can be a slippery slope. Take care that fixing your fixes of fixes doesn't snowball and end up costing you more than fixing the root cause would have in the first place.

Another site that I joined recently, has already managed to pretty much chase me away (not a technical site.) I posted what I thought was a straight-forward question about storing a firearm in the house, and got one or two relatively helpful responses, and a string of...
Well lets call them less-then-helpful and leave it at that.
Treating a visitor with respect (think of it as they're visiting your house, or your business) is a sure-fire way to keep them coming back. Look at me, my early questions probably had Lynn, Gail, et al wondering what I was smoking. Now...
Well, OK, I'm still not Mr Knowledge...:-D
But I'm still here.

Anyone thinking of going to see the popcorn movie that is "GIJoe: Retaliation"?I'm debating between waiting until tomorrow, or going to see it tonight on my own, then tomorrow with the wife...
Yes, I'm a nut.
Last weekend, we did "Olympus has fallen" then "The Croods" the next day...
Wife and son saw it last night. My wife doesn't usually love those kinds of movies, but she said it was enjoyable. Not much plot (cartoon like were her words), but great effects and scenes.
I want to go now.
It's a movie, based on a cartoon / comic book made to sell toys, that were based on older toys...
A cartoon in which despite firing hundreds of rounds per-episode at near point-blank range, no one EVER got hit (or at least not seriously)
Sadly, I didn't get to see it last night, but will be going tonight...
