We've never met, but I understand where you're coming from with the inability to sit still. I know people who have gone through ACL surgery and you have to take things slowly afterwards. They didn't have to stop anything except sports for a while and they're doing fine now, but they took the time to heal. Enjoy some indoor activities with your kids for a while. I hope the surgery goes well and you have a good outcome.
Thanks. Now if I can get the kids to do some indoor stuff.
Best of luck with that, especially if they are teenagers...
12 and 15, and 21. 21 year old is the most likely to play cards or hang out with the parents.
They state understanding parents and bond again when they reach about 27.

My parents went from dumb to about the smartest people I know, during the period between my age of 21 and 25 (when I got married).

Weird, the sort order for the table tree in SSMS is different from the sort order in Intellisense. In the table tree, capitalization doesn't matter. In Intellisense, capitalized letters come before lower case.

When you encounter a problem, if the solution isn't readily evident go back to the start and check your assumptions.

Colleague just asked for resources on Query Plans. So pointed him to Grants book and told him to search the internet for videos of Grant. Probably should have been a bit more specific there... Scary indeed. 😀

I thought the NSA had fixed that. 😉

At least sounds like they have the cert still on a machine.
