I have had a topic resurrected from the dead!!!I am now a member of that elite group of "dead topics revived!"
Noticed the email alert that a reply had been posted, glanced and realized it was a 3 year old topic to which someone replied "thanks as it worked like a charm."
:-D:hehe:
Probably just stumbled on your reply. Most of the forum reads come some time after the threads have been posted and answered. Few people actually would post a "thanks" some time later.

It's a good thing that you were able to help. The OP seemed clueless and desperate. :hehe:

So a book I'm currently reading (highly recommend, I've actually laughed out loud because of what I'm about to tell you) has possibly the BEST explanation for why computer software misbehaves...Typos!
Someone was working to create a daemon and mis-spelled it as demon, and well...
It also explains why a certain Redmond-based software company that shall not be named goes through QC staff so fast. At one time the "blue screen of death" really did mean "death."
If you get the time, check it out:
Monster Hunter Memoirs: Grunge
by John Ringo and Larry Correia
If you're enjoying that you might enjoy the Charles Stross 'Laundry Files' books. Advanced mathematics can open portals into other dimensions and with the huge computational power around these days it inevitably happens by accident.

Going back a few years, I rather enjoyed Rick Cook's "Wiz" series - a computer programmer arrives in a land where computers haven't been invented, but magic exists...

The first one is called "The Atrocity Archives". Read them in order.

MHI!
I knew as soon as I saw daemon. I love those books. I also like Larry's Hard Magic books and his first fantasy novel is a great read. Really fun story teller. For those who have a thin skin where politics are concerned, stay away from Larry's blog.

Anyone in the mood for a quick code tidy-up?

I saw that monstrosity and I'm not even going to try to parse it out...
Sometimes I'll take messy queries like that (and it's not even a query, just a snippet from one!) and clean them up on my end to make it easier to read, but not this time...

Trying to figure out when I'm going to need to take a week or two off to avoid the angry mob that's coming...
We're going to be taking away access for the customers to shares on the servers soon, which means several are going to need to re-work how they currently ETL in data from flat files. Currently, they have the ability to drop a file into a share on the SQL server where an Agent job with an SSIS package will slurp it in. Except for the ones that use BCP.
Now, they'll probably have to get a network share elsewhere plus at least read privileges for the SSIS proxy...
All this while also working on switching to SQL2014 on new servers...
WHEE!
