    There is a number suffixed at the nick name... I think this is done to maintain uniqueness to the nick names? Personally, i dont like adding a number to my nick name but i dont think i've a choice..

    not really, unless you want to change you name and be p_s perhaps?, maybe that name isnt taken.

    Thankfully silverfox is unique, you dont want to know what my other long serving login on other forums was. 😛

    Thanks for the idea 😀

    i changed it to ps.

  • I think I've got one. I've asked 3 times now for an code or an example of what he is doing and haven't gotten anything. I can only quote my own posts so many times.

  • Now that's obviously an OP "who knows how to behave".... Calling Jeff a .... (my fingers actually refuse to retype the word and cut and paste won't work either).

    Combined with the attitude the OP shows when trying to teach J-F Bergeron on how a cross join works it's one of the worst OP's I've seen for a while. For a long while.

    Wow, and um Wow again.

    Kudos to Jeff for not even ack'ing that response.

    Actually, I think that one was just a misunderstanding. He didn't get that Jeff was showing him how to set up a test for his index... I think. That's why I kept helping. I don't bother rebuking (or I try not to) if they get out of hand. I just go away.

    I could agree to "misunderstanding" if there weren't the attitude shown in his reply to J-F's post. And even a misunderstanding can be and should be phrased different.

    Yeah, true.

    Maybe my skin is getting thicker or scar tissue is building up. Those aren't the most respectful replies for people who are trying to help.

    Scar tissues are distinctive marks for front line warriors!

    And you're definitely one of them 😉

    Did anyone ever say where Gail disappeared to?

    She hasn't been here recently, but she's still about. She posted a comment over on my blog recently (fixing something of mine... again 😀 ).

  • I've emailed with Gail a little. She's busy with life, should be back soon.

    I guess BOL did not teach him respect, maybe we should show him the link? 😎

  • Hey, one a different subject, how come I haven't seen any responses from the denizens of The Thread regarding the article I had republished here on ssc? I'd have expected some of you to at least have something to say. 😉

    Either the poor guy is so frazzled he didn't see the TOP condition and he actually has an enormous database (a million columns!!) or he's in way over his head as a DBA.

    Actually, as an application developer, the very first sentence got under my skin, saying the db was designed by developers, as if that makes it obvious that it must be poorly done. I have every respect possible for those who've mastered relational modeling and database design, and will use them when possible (an advantage of working in a large organization), but cannot abide such supercillious comments from anyone, especially when he goes on to plainly demonstrate his own lack of knowledge.

    Thank you for letting me rant. (But then, that is the original point of the thread, right?)
