Are the posted questions getting worse?

    Don't do that, we've missed you. Honestly, it has been a while since you visited us here.

  • With an announcement from the Oracle DBA I work with, I now know what the people I used to work with felt like when I announced I was leaving...

    Worse, he's leaving half-way through my vacation, leaving a very novice guy in charge of both MS SQL and Oracle...

    Oh boy...

    Sounds like fun when you get back from vacation. 😉

    no, they derail my posts. The post is first and foremost for me, secondly for all others having same problem.

    The post is for him?

    That makes it sound like he doesn't want anyone to answer, that he's just posting to see himself type.

    That's the way I'm reading that.

    naw, he's saying he needs help first, screw the other people, they can figure it out later on their own.

    Lynn should change his post to:

    "EDITED: removed solution at the request of the OP, if you are having the same issues and want to know how to fix it, please contact OP to find out what they did"

    Actually had a couple of constructive PMs yesterday. I woke up to this one:

    You are like my new little brother. I have to take you everywhere fun I want to go. See you next topic!

    Think I may be forgiven for perceived past transgressions?

    Hmm...

    Hmm, recall seeing that somewhere before....

    Is that from the same person who thinks that NOLOCK makes queries run faster?

    You're going to have to be more specific. I have 20 of those in my immediate workplace. Maybe more.

    Now can someone tell me what all the fuss is about? Please?

    Not a big web user eh? Its not like people haven't been discussing this to death.

    I'm not really sure how I should react to that.

    People have indeed been discussing it to death. It appears to me to have been a discussion with much heat, little light, and far too much blind resistance to change. I suspect that having first played with computers in the early 60s and having worked with them since the mid-60s that I've both seen rather more changes in software (and hardware, of course) than most of the people participating in the discussion and have a lot more chance of distinguishing bad change from good change. That's the polite reaction to your arrogant and ignorant condescension, I won't treat you to the alternative version.

    .....

    I think you can dismiss the significant proportion of detractors however you like, but you'll have a hard time convincing me that there aren't real issues with this release.

    There probably are some real issues, but not enough to justify the volume of vituperation of windows 8 that is being spouted out there. When was the last time MS (or IBM, or Apple, or Adobe, or anyone else in the software business) made a big release that had absolutely no real issues?

    "I know the drawbacks of nolock, in our case it cannot be avoided"

    Hmm...

    And we have a really good reason to not run backups, to have the database in simple recovery, to never test the backups that we do run, and yeah, I can justify that 150 column heap table that is called by every query in the system...
