Okay, this is weird. I went searching for an error I got in SSIS 2012 and the first thread that pops up in Google is a thread I posted about the issue a few weeks ago (I forgot I'd posted about it).
So the weird part? The link was NOT pointing to SSC. It was pointing to a website called DB-PUB. And the link (with all text reposted verbatim and no indication that it came from SSC) is here.
Steve, did anyone at RedGate give these people permission to repost from this site without attribution?
Nope. Will send a DCMA

Do you think it'll do any good? He's a thief, so do you think he'll really respect the law?

My guess is that he's trying to get per-hit advertising revenue, but that's just a SWAG. It's still stealing.

In other news, Prince died today.

If Ramsey scores today, his curse might have become more effective.

Sad to hear of his passing, he went to school near where I grew up.

Went to school with some relatives, and even back then, they thought he would make it big.

Very talented guy.

That's the wrong guy. He's dbpub.com. There's a db-pub.com (hypen) that shows up, but isn't loading now.

db-pub.com listed as godaddy hosting, to a Hong Kong location.

Good luck.

Always find it interesting when someone does something like this, and list Copyright on bottom of the page.

RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.

Me too, although a walking refrigerator would be more practical and useful. Need another beer? Call out to your walking fridge and stroll over to you.

Maybe, maybe not. Often if they don't, I can escalate to the ISP And they will. However, overseas, it's hit and miss.

Very good to hear actually. As long as it is more hit than miss.
