Read the following comment made today by Silver Spoon on a 4 year old thread:ok, thank you very much.
I inherited these databases so I'm very green but thank you.
I will get back to you. Have a great day.
Silver Spoon has been a member of ssc for 10 years. Still considers himself very green? I think most of you know what my next question is ...
Considering him green is about the only thing we all have in common. 😉 It is so sad that person is so totally inept after working in the field for so long. The lights are on but nobody is home. We have helped with the same types of things more than once, there just isn't any learning or understanding happening. It seems like about 4-5 years ago something happened. Prior to that it seemed like they were getting better and then it suddenly just changed.

Something to chew on here.
Looking back through his/her posts I have noticed a linguistic change.
I have to wonder if this person might have experienced some sort of trauma maybe.
Or, maybe this is an account put into place at Company Y that was handed down to some noob.
Whatever the case, the linguistics have definitely changed in the past few years.

Maybe. From what I can tell I think this account is for a person/company somewhere in Europe.

I understand doing that for a site like experts-exchange that is not free, but for a free site like SSC it doesn't make much sense, unless SSC is the company WIKI.

You know, I noticed that change as well. I think it actually is multiple people. Nothing else makes sense. Well, barring some type of brain injury.

I think it's multiple people. The linguistic/competence switch didn't happen as a single event. At the time, there were clueless threads interspaced with ones showing competance, carried on that way for months iirc.

I am thinking it is multiple people. And yes, it is kind of silly for them to use the same account.
Another explanation could be multiple personality disorder.
In any case, it really seems that particular account is more than one identity. Maybe that perspective could make it a little less frustrating?:unsure:

LOL no. I have noticed it before, we have even discussed it in the past (probably here in the thread). Not sure if it was injury or a different person on the same account but it just doesn't seem like the same person it used to be.

I guess I've had enough of this forum for this week.http://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic1707595-2799-1.aspx
You did fine and you're absolutely spot on. You've said what we're all thinking. Well, except maybe for me. I've not responded at all because I would not have been nearly as kind as you were. I have a very strong dislike for such JackHoles that rope a client in hook, line, and sinker and then they can't even spell SQL.
I admit it wasn't the most polite answer. I feel a lot better about having said it when I see people like Gail and Jason posting something that more or less backs up my comment. 🙂
Jeff, it wouldn't have been as fine if I had said what I was really thinking. 😎
It IS exasperating. Lot's of good people out there are busting a hump to learn the art and then some poser/faker destroys the trust in the art with their client or an interviewer. No need to pile on but here's another one. As you say, my response wouldn't have been fine if I said what I was really thinking. This fellow doesn't even know where to look for information on SQL Server but still applied for a job.
http://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/FindPost1707721.aspx
What a total waste of time for the interviewers. Pork chops are not enough for these people whether they believe themselves to be innocent or not.
Maybe we just need to post more LMGTFY type answer sometimes.
Agreed. It's one of the things that I consider when posting my reply... how easy would Google have been for this question?
Now, to obfuscate it a bit, take that lmgtfy link and run over to your url shortening service of choice (bit.ly, etc.)
No need to look elsewhere. LMGTFY has it right there on the page for you. 😉
I haven't noticed that shorten button before... cool.
Edit: or should I just say 😎

Raise your hands if you like Entity Framework...then I'll know who to shoot!
Sorry just needed two seconds to vent. :crazy:
I'm sure like anything else it can be fine when implemented properly. Problem is the devs here had carte blanche long before I showed up and I'm feeling the pain. Troubleshooting performance problems with those statements are a HUGE pain!

Why oh why oh why do people insist on using WITH (NOLOCK) instead of doing things like setting transaction isolation levels or fixing indexes to resolve performance issues?Work thing. I've been trying to stamp out WITH (NOLOCK) use and now because things "aren't working" one group is trying to throw it back in.
ARGH!
Well, this is my battle for the week.
EDIT: Seriously, can anyone give me a real reason why WITH (NOLOCK) might be functionally necessary for production code?
In our continuous integration server (TeamCity), one of the configurations installs our database. It then fires a "Validation Tool" that I wrote against the installed database and produces a report. One of the tests is to check for NOLOCK, if it is found then it fails the build and sets off the siren of shame[/url] and sends an e-mail to the person that caused the issue. I thoroughly recommend doing something similar for your own development environment.
Not an expert but I think you could do this with Policy Based Management. It would be nice if this check got added in the Code Analysis rules in SSDT database projects as well.
I think PBM doesn't handle this well, nor add exceptions. tSQLt would also do this, though if you have something, not sure this needs to be changed.
