    See you there, and...

    you have a car? I thought everyone in the UK just used trains.

    Trains? UK rail fares are by far the highest in Europe - for most journeys train is far more expensive and far less convenient than car (unless of course the journey by car involves spending hours driving through stop go average speed < 5mph traffic jams). A lot of people use cars in preference to trains.

    If it wasn't for it being 5 cities (including home) in 8 days and I'd have to drive down the M6 on a Friday.

    I would have driven. At least this way I can sit and read on the train.

    But as a general rule I avoid trains in UK.

    Rodders...

    Great, and I'll be making my way up from LHR to Liverpool on Thur via train.

    You'll be fine Steve :w00t:

    The sith lord is Supreme Leader Snoke and suspected to be Darth Plagueis (the one that can create life from death according to Darth Sidious - the apprentice of Plagueis).

    If it is Plagueis it'll be a very nice connection.

    If you haven't read the (now non-canon) book Darth Plagueis, do so. It's a fascinating story of Sidious's apprenticeship under Plagueis. Gives a much wider view into Sideous's machinations than the prequels did.

    I'm going to look into this, the dark side intrigues me.

    In that case, I'll recommend the title "Bane" too (the story of Darth Bane, the Sith Lord who instituted the Rule of Two after seeing in-fighting destroy the Sith Order that trained him)

    Is there a specific order? Or am I good to go with either of the two?

    They're set 1000 years apart.

    I read Plagueis first, and only the first chapter so far of Bane

  • Technical question:

    I want to export large amounts of data. However, I don't want to use SSIS. I'm going to use SQLCMD.EXE. I need to be able to script these exports so that I do, let's say, 10,000 rows at a time, in chunks. I'm doing this so that I have the ability to easily restart, and, allow for starting to migrate or move the exported files as each chunk finishes.

    What's the best way to, in a relatively generic fashion, efficiently divide a table into these 10,000 row chunks?

    Articles, blog posts, some documentation to get this going in the right direction. Please!

    Oh, and, what the heck... URGENT!

    Oh, and, what the heck... URGENT!

    Ha!

    1) What do you mean by "large" amount of data? How many millions of rows and/or how many GB?

    2) What is the ultimate goal here? What are you doing with the exported data?

    3) Is this a one-time deal or will it be an on going process?

    4) Is the data straight from a single table, or a query combining columns from multiple tables, or a subset of fields from a single table?

    5) If from a single table, are you wanting 100% of the rows? And if yes, is there an INT / BIGINT PK on the table?

    6) Not SSIS is fine, but does it have to be SQLCMD?
