Kind of SQL related but...

Other than Steve and Grant who kinda have to be here, who's going to be at the Redgate SQL Summit - Chicago tomorrow?

As I write this from my hotel room at the Intercontinental... 🙂

Time for some dinner down at Mikey Jordans. 😀

So it of curiosity, who else is going to be at the Redgate Chicago Summit tomorrow?

Other than Steve and Grant, that is?

And it seems I got bit by the "posted but didn't see it, so posted again and there they both are"

Well, I'll be there. Causing trouble. Saying stupid stuff. You know, the usual.

A nice warm blueberry muffin sounds good right now, or maybe blueberry pancakes. Yum! ;-P

Ah, double spacing. Forgot about that. The quoting is a real annoyance as well.

So, are you leaving all of this up to us to contact @marketing, etc?

It's a good thing you're a rather...

Distinctive dresser Steve! Made it easy to follow you into the conference area!

It was a good event, picked up some info that will be handy in deciding if we want to go a certain route with some of our servers. Of course, I should've made a note in my notes about which notes go with which talk I was in, but hindsight...

If you can send a note to marketing@ with your specific complaints or issues, that will help. There is a proposal up with our internal IT staff/developers to do some upgrades and then set up a dev environment. However, a little encouragement from all of you always helps.

I could use some perspective on an execution issue, please. Schema Execute not working on sproc – SQLServerCentral Forums.

I'm not getting this. Why do you have no pull with your own marketing, Steve?

How about you have them read the last 5 or so pages of this thread? 😉 Or print it out and send it to them.

I (and others) can do write something to marketing or whoever but I'm thinking it's going to be a waste of time. They deployed this site with all these problems (and more) in place even though many of tested the bejeezus out of the pre-release site and clearly identified the everything that needed to be fixed. And, if we complain, are they going to do what they did to Simple-Talk (shut down the forums) or ASK SSC (shut down the whole site)?

If they're not listening to you, why would they listen to us?

I just want a little reassurance that it's not going to be a bigger waster of time than it already has been.
