Hey, 2540F82F-05B8-4B01-A237-7A2A634E7D34. I was just talking about you with 0798AE98-F43B-4069-BE9F-5FFB9945D670. Good old 2540F82F, if you don't mind me being personal.
Are you sure you weren't talking to E798AE98-F43B-4069-BE9F-5FFB9945D670 instead?
Let's hope not, that guy's a jerk. 😀

Uh-oh. I feel another complaint heading our way.

He is a jerk though 🙂

Are we not here to serve?

Keep it up, Lynn, and your halo will tarnish. 😉

We are slaves to our own drive.

Or we used to be. Noticed my post count is dropping like the average knowledge of people coming to DBA interviews.

Heh, I am Saint Troll, just getting out there and knockin' a few heads! 😛

Actually, I think I was quite professional in my admonishment of the OP. 😉

And just how much press is our team getting??? Not a whole lot!!!

Over here quite a bit. I think its novelty value as USA and football normally means some hulking brute in armour, and not atheletes of the beautiful game.

Well done.

I notice one of the goal scorers plays for Fulham. Its nice to have some English speaking foreigners in the Premier League.

Maybe I could, but the main problem is that it's always raining... The grass grew almost to my knees...
I don't' remember such a rainy and (relatively) cold summer start. 18° C in June, in Italy? Never seen this before.
It's not just you. New England is still wet & cold & rainy in late June. It should be 80-90 F, but we're consistently below 70. It might go as high as 80 today.
It's been consistently cold and quite rainy here too. It's been the case in previous years that it's not unusual to be able to go out around midday in a short-sleeved shirt in the middle of winter here. Nights are cold, but during the day the sun usually gets things relatively nice.
This year, it's been jersey, jacket + long-sleeved shirt even at midday. It's been consistently cold for the last two months. Winter daytime maximums are often 18°-20° C. All this week it's been 12°-14° C

At last in (old) England we've had a brilliant warm and sunny week. - However its Glastonbury Festival weekend now, and the rain has returned right on que.

@Gail
Somebody has stolen your name. There is another "GilaMonster" on Twitter. Apparently it's not you if your second name isn't "Tim" with a Dutch homepage...
Yeah, I know. It's not me. I'm not on Twitter at all.
There's a GilaMonster@gmail, a GilaMonster at DeviantArt[/url] and someone with GilaMonster as xbox gaming tag, that I know of. None are me. It's an uncommon nickname, but not unique (unfortunatly)

Looks more like a cousin of Yoda - @Lynn - do these things really scuttle about your desert tent?

--Jeff Moden

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.

Just curious, would it be considered standard practice to always do a full copy of a table when refreshing to a reporting server? (rather than just updating changes)

The more I learn, the more I realize that they know nothing

It depends 😀

Log shipping, mirroring, database snapshots, and transactional replication can be seen as 'just copying the changes'.
