    Happy, delighted, humbled and overall gleeful to announce that I'm awarded the Microsoft Data Platform MVP award.
    Yes, it's not January, April, July or October. Microsoft has changed the cycle for new MVP awardees to a monthly basis.
    Renewal is now once a year at July.

    Well done, Koen! Congratulations!

    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.

    They had a live Google Doc open as they worked through the issues.

    Stupidity - "out of 5 backup/replication techniques deployed none are working reliably or set up in the first place"

    Sounds like they my be running on *NIX, just set the sticky bit to prevent accidental deletion of files.  Sorry, this was the response by a former supervisor (who still works at the employer) at a former employer because he accidently deleted a production database table from a production system.  πŸ˜›
