    Between NOLOCK and no gaps in invoice numbers how much more fun can we have??

    No kidding. Seems to be blockhead Monday. 😀

    You saying we should be querying SSC with the (NOBLOCKHEAD) hint?

    I like the new hint, but does it still work if DBCC Timewarp is running concurrently?

    Intended results could occur if you do that.

    Some of these results might include the Blockhead never being born.

    As usual, your mileage may vary.

    Did the "Recent Posts" link get moved? I don't see it any more all of a sudden.

    Looks like it got removed. That was a useful tool.

    I can see it on the same place as always.

    It is back now. Must have been deploying some changes this morning. 😉

    Thank heavens. I'm not in the mood to hand search every forum on this site 🙂

    Jason, you went right where I was thinking. If DBCC Timewarp were run at 3:00 but was told it should run at 2:00, if the NOBLOCKHEAD hint were run at 2:30 and finished in 3 seconds, there could be trouble. Worse yet, if DBCC Timewarp were run at a time before the NOBLOCKHEAD hint was even created, it could escalate into a full-blown situation.

    I'd heard he's a bit scary. What else did you expect? 😉

  • You know, I'd not really thought about this until now, but...

    How do people find all these "undocumented" options for various SQL commands?

    dbcc autopilot???

    create index... WITH STATISTICS_ONLY = ???

    What do these people have, an inside source at MS or something? A decompiler so they can pull apart the SQL Server executables and DLLs?

    Just curious...

    Wait, why am I hearing helicopters all of a sudden?

    And why are the helicopters I see all black, with no log*(yhijh)&(*Y)(*Ypinlk
