Can one of you index gurus take a look at this one about interpreting sys.dm_db_index_physical_stats? I think I might know the answer, but I'm not sure and I don't want to lead someone astray.

You could also help him with the ADSL line if he has issues uploading the screenshot. You should be quite expert...:-P

He needs help picking the right size hammer?

Thanks to the 3 G's (Grant, Gus, and Gail) for weighing in on the Index Fragmentation thread. Fortunately, for me, you confirmed what I would have said, I feel much better now.

Looks like someone needs a basic computer theory course.

Unfortunately, that comment applies to too many developers and administrators.

Digs posted a project spec here on ssc that he posted on GetAFreelancer.com, so for S & G's (plus I am trying to earn some extra cash as things are tight) I signed up.
Got an email alert about a job tonight and went and checked it out.
OMG, we need to worry about some of the people coming out of school today. Instead of doing their own work, I found at least one person who would rather pay someone else to do it for them.

Ditto. I found several "High School" projects on there. And naturally they wanted the lowest bid (wouldn't take anything over $25).
