    I'm in two minds about this:

    http://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic821057-145-1.aspx#bm821538

    Is it spam? Should I care? Thoughts?

    It's spam. You should care.

    You're probably right - it's just he/she is being so nice about it.

    ARGH! No, no, no.

    Must...keep...to...the... Dark Side 🙂

    She's being nice about it. That means Steve can be nice about removing the post, or whatever he decides to do about it, even if that's nothing.

    It's not that I mind an ad for a query tool. I wouldn't mind someone going into the general forums and asking "What features matter most to you in a query tool?" I do think RedGate should have a right to regulate blatant advertising on their site, especially for a product that essentially competes with one of theirs.

    If I owned a coffee shop, I wouldn't want some Starbucks employee sticking ads for their company up in my windows. It's rude. Same thing here.

    Dang it - late to the party and missed the ad. I just get redirected to the Forums home page now from the link.

  • You're late, Jason. I whacked the post.

  • Steve Jones - Editor (11/19/2009)


    I struggle with this a little. I want to allow people in the community to interact, which includes vendors. At the same time, Red Gate does regulate and want to limit advertising here. They own the site, I understand this.

    Ah - so you were in two minds too 😀

    Does it mean you're out of your mind when you're in somebody else's mind?

    I lost my mind some time ago. If you happen to find it, please return it to me. It's too small and weak to be out on its own.

  • Talking of splitting. I'm surprised nobody has commented on this and it's use of recursive CTEs.

    String Splitting[/url]

    Needs to be shown the error of his ways 🙂

    I would, but don't have any time to spare right now.

    Well, I didn't go into detail, but I did provide an alternative.

    Gus, you are really on a roll lately. 😛

    What kind of coffee are you drinking, and did you bring enough to share?

    I don't drink coffee. If it tasted as good as it smells, I'd drink it. As it is, I can't stand the stuff. (And, yes, I've tasted some of the expensive, "oh, this will change your mind about the taste" types of coffee.) By the time I've drowned it in enough cream and sugar to cover the taste, it's not coffee any more, it's a milkshake with a few drops of coffee.
