    Yeah, I'd either have gotten the job at more than I was asking or I'd have punched someone.

    BWAAA-HAAAA!!!! Don't forget... I take porkchops to interviews, as well. And I don't just get even, I get ahead. Someone would look real funny with that TV sticking out of their saddle-padding and a car full of quick drying cement. πŸ˜‰

    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
    First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

    Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.

    Well this post is my 10,000th point. I guess I have proved I too can waste lots of time answering forums posts instead of doing my actual job. Thanks everyone for letting me hang around all these years. πŸ˜€

    Nice work, Sean. You've crafted some exceptional work in them there 10,000 posts and I reckon you've raised the bar for the overall quality of code especially for the "low hanging fruit", which, if it isn't addressed early, appears to attract shelf-stacker coders.

    My thoughts, exactly. Well said Chris and very well done Sean!

    And here I was thinking cement down the toilet at that place of business.

    Though the prank was pretty funny.

    Since they turn out the lights, I'd take the opportunity for a quick nap while waiting for the cement truck to arrive. I always need a nap after working to make a large TV fit into someones saddle-padding. πŸ™‚

    Any thoughts or suggestions would be welcome.

    Solved my problem. Turns out the two tables weren't 100% structurally the same. One of them had a d*** trigger on it. I'll worry about the trigger later, but we know what needs to be done in the future at least.

  • SQL Saturday in Cape Town today was awesome. Took a whole lot of new knowledge away from it. And, as to be expected, Gail's presentation on "Do's and Don'ts of Database Corruption" was top of the cream. Thanks, Gail! Hope you'll be back next year πŸ™‚

    Just ....

    Microsoft will no longer offer Masters and Architect level training rotations and will be retiring the Masters level certification exams as of October 1, 2013.

    Sent late on a Friday night, right before a USA long weekend.

    At least I no longer have to worry about budgeting for the upgrade exam.

    That's just sad.

    And a lengthy summary of the whole thing

    Tried to vote for it, but then I get

    "The system has encountered an unexpected error. We apologize for the inconvenience. The issue will be addressed as quickly as possible."

    And now I get a "Page Not Found" error instead?
