    Quite interesting. Some of it extremely expressive. Certainly backs up what Gartner recently said about MS SQL Server.

    (But no-one told me when I will be able to buy a developer edition licence.)

    Quite impressive

    Ouch! how did I type "ex" when I meant "im"? Surely I can't have been typing 5 keys adrift to the left? :doze:

    I read expressive as expensive and didn't think that the sentence didn't make sense :w00t:


    On two occasions I have been asked, "Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?" ... I am not able rightly to apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question.

    Yeah, I knew what you meant. You sure did make an interesting observation, though about having your hands offset 5 keys to the left. More likely that you typed "ex" in the word before it and that somehow translated into doing it again. I think that you noticed the pattern is the cool part.

  • What a wonderful day in the upgrade-hood...

    Sigh.

    So many SSIS packages to upgrade. So. Many. PACKAGES! :crazy:

  • I did an RC0 upgrade. Glad I let it run in the background. It was rather slow.

    Still not sure if I like Data Tools or not. It seems very sensitive to every little click of the mouse. And heaven forbid if I try to move a container a quarter inch down. Because suddenly the package window increases by 200% and the container is so far away from the other containers that I can't see everything on one screen anymore.

    Grrr.

    If you hit the little arrow to minimize/roll up the container, they seem to move without any issues.

    But the issue is more than just the containers. If I group grab a bunch of tasks, Data Tools seems insistent on moving them down a mile (I can't seem to move them back up, the more I try, the further down they go) and the font changes have messed up all my annotation boxes and the tasks so that everything is on top of each other and I can't read anything unless I try to adjust sizes.

    And if I try to adjust borders, things widen impossibly big or cover up other items.

    I really am beginning to hate Data Tools.

    I hate that too. I'd suggest that you stick to the FORMAT menu options and, ideally, just use Auto Layout after getting your sizing correct.

    If you do need to move stuff around manually, for small changes try using the keyboard (CTRL & arrow keys) rather than the mouse (after selecting the objects to move, of course).

  • Shouldn't this have been your first stop before going online?

    Thanks for your response. Actually, I got solution from my manager. Thanks for your support

    Being fair, Lynn, my first stop is usually Google. I don't tend to ask my manager or coworker unless Google does not provide, then I go to them (unless they're slammed), then I come here.

    Except for my current employer, I always talk to my coworkers and manager first. Here I am the only DBA in the company, so I have no peers to talk with first.

    I'm almost in the same boat as you, Lynn. I don't have anyone to ask SQL-related stuff. The good point is that it does make me read BOL more.
