If you assassinate a DBA, would you pull a trigger?

Same here even as of this date and time. I DID send the WebMaster another email on the subject (a day or two ago, IIRC) of the most recent change breaking things and some of them, like "eMail Notifications" still being broken. They responded with it being forwarded to the Development team but they've apparently not fixed it yet. 🙁

I wonder what the actual fix was for?

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.

Ok... no response from the WebMaster on this issue. @steve-2 Jones... any help here?

Heh... probably not because you're probably not being notified of this post, either. 🙁

Just a test here... did anyone get an email notification of this post?

Yes, notifications seem to be working again.

The absence of evidence is not evidence of absence

The absence of consumable DDL, sample data and desired results is, however, evidence of the absence of my response

I did. Funny thing is I just changed the email on my account a couple days ago and had been wondering why I hadn't see anything from SSC in a damn long time.

And in other news....I have taken the plunge. After almost 25 years as a developer I have just accepted a new position as a full time DBA. Even more crazy for me is that I have been at the same job for almost 14 years. Excited and nervous all at the same time.

And Jeff, yes, I got the notification.

Now, if they would just fix the problem of NOT returning to the same page where you post a comment, that would be great.

Congrats! After 14 years, that has to be a bit scary.
