So, today I got this beauty for deployment. Things like these make me want to either slap or choke the developers.
CREATE TYPE [dbo].[udtbl_ParentSomeColumnXXID_ParentSomeOtherColumnXXID_ChildSomeColumnXXID_ChildSomeOtherColumnXXID_FlipFlag] AS TABLE ( ParentSomeColumnXXID INT, ParentSomeOtherColumnXXID INT, ChildSomeColumnXXID INT, ChildSomeOtherColumnXXID INT, FlipFlag VARCHAR(1) )

In medieval times this would be punishable by drawing and quartering.

Or he should have his intellisense and copy paste disabled whenever he needs to use this table.

We all have our areas of specialty, but I'd think backup and recovery would be primary topics for most DBAs.

Backup and restore should be #1, always. Native as well as any tooling you use.

Then security, then anything else your org needs, but always get the data back first.

Who's going to SQL Saturday Manchester?

I hope I am - but there's a risk I won't make it.

Is anyone else experiencing this? When I type into a post, as I'm doing now, When I hit enter to put a new line
t moves my cursor so that you see what happens with the "I" being in the wrong spot I
urtherF
Further, when I fix it, for some reason the browser shows that first word as being misspelled.
I'm using Microsoft Edge. Just curious if it's just me or if others see it too?
I haven't seen that specifically, but there is still some weirdness in the post window. The cursor trailing behind the typing location after deleting words has to be the most annoying. Another thing is that after pasting, the cursor disappears as if the text box lost the focus. I generally use Firefox, but have confirmed it happens in IE as well. Now you've got me wanting to try Edge. 😉
I've seen the trailing cursor quite often. It's easily solved by pressing delete once. The pasting has so many problems, including the removal of spaces.

I have quite a few problems since the new system. Tried switching to Edge but that made it no better, so switched back to Firefox.

just ran into the same issue when trying to paste code from SSMS into a reply, except that Edge went "unresponsive" and threw me out of edit mode (losing the entire post). Ended up having to switch to chrome and use a "paste as plain text" option.

The next post will be of the cumulative stats taken an hour after they last ran it. Granted, they didn't save the first query results, so the second will be meaningless. The odds are even if they'll filter for anything with a total over an hour. Oh, and they probably didn't read your article. Maybe the next step is to offer your hourly consulting rate.

Oh, and Eirikur...

Brown lamb shanks in a pan, remove from pan
Soften some onion and garlic
Add a good amount of curry powder (I use pre-made, as we get some decent ones here, but you could mix up your own), cook until fragrant
Add tin tomatoes, stock, chopped butternut or pumpkin
Put in oven and cook until lamb is tender. By this point the pumpkin/butternut will have disolved, thickening the stew. If you want chunks of butternut, add most at the start and the rest part-way through the cooking.
Return to stove, add dumplings and cook until the dumplings are ready
