Are the posted questions getting worse?

    Shifting the subject a bit. After the latest patch from Blizzard, I still think Death Knights are way OP. Discuss.

    WoW reminds me more and more of EQ every day. And that's NOT a compliment.

    What about good?

    What about evil?

    What about right?

    What about wrong?

    Is there a Vorlon in the building?

  • Has anyone else noticed that EVERY TIME a new version of SQL Server is released there are many questions asking if you can restore a database from the newer version to an older version?

    What? You mean you can't do that?!

    You can do it if your hammer is big enough.

    If violence doesn't work you have to take more!!

  • And then you have OP's like this one who think your test table (temp or table variable) are part of the solution...

    Whoa! I didn't notice that guy had 1200 posts. What the heck is up with that? You take that much time and you still don't get silly fundamentals? And I'm called scary.

    Apparently they were questions asked at his last job interview (Junior DBA).

    You get 1200 posts by asking lots and lots of questions, like another friend of ours I could name.

    Unless you take enough Dilaudin. After a few days of that in your IV, those little suckers just won't shut up!

    Awww. Be kind. Sure it's a naive question, but for folks who expect Microsoft to be consistent across product lines, it does seem reasonable. After all, they figure, if Excel-2007 can have a "compatibility mode" and save spreadsheets in the older BIFF format, maybe SQL Server can too.

    Maybe I have the volume on my speakers turned down to far, but I haven't noticed anyone's avatars making any noises at all... (cuz I'm a blonde, yeah yeah yeah!) 🙂

    The last thing we need is avatar that speak!!!

    Bob was referring to meeting me at the Memphis PASS chapter meeting.

    I guess I may have to practice my chipmunk imitation.

    Alvin, does that imply (oral) cheek stuffing?

  • It's actually a feature that I think would be a great addition particularly for those of us who work in mixed shops. I'd love to be able to restore a DB from 2005 on a Sql 2000 instance. Particularly if it was still at comp level 80.

    Sometimes you just need to move something backwards. It could also help adoption providing an easy way to roll something back.

    Yeah Yeah I get the differences in master and system tables and such, but it would be handy to have the ability, much like John's example of Excel.
