I'm a kindergarden drop-out. Does that count for anything?(I can legitimately and truthfully claim that I dropped out of both kindergarden and college. Not many with those credentials!)
You win on this one. I did pass kindergarden.
I also got accepted into the "special education program" in the fifth grade, and managed to get a 0.6 GPA in my freshman year in high school. Oh, and I got 1,600 on my SATs too, and a 4.0 my senior year in high school. And got asked to leave a class in college because I was making the professor look bad. And on the ASVAB tests, I graded as post-college on all categories except spelling, when I was in the 9th grade. Yes, I had a strange educational history. 🙂

Not saying this is true of all PhD's, but many of the ones I have met seemed to have lost one very important thing, common sense. Is there a class in these PhD programs that teaches these people how to loose it?
I never completed nmy PhD ("Excited states in sd-shell nuclei - Oxygen-18 & Neon-24"), but my wife tells me I lack common sense about a lot of things. 🙂
My response is that some things which are supposedly "common sense" aren't that - it's just the way things are.

Ninja, you beat me to update resume comment.
hmmm, a stored procedure to update resume ..... I'm guessing that would be easier using .NET

I think I have gained an insight into why some of the users questions appear to be soooooo, well not intelligent. Last evening I attended a SQL User Group meeting in Ohio. The presenter was an individual who was a college graduate (Computer Science major), and who has been working for 2 years as a developer, developing SSIS packages. His presentation was on scripting a routine which would convert a character field (standard character set not the extended character set) to all upper case characters. Further the routine had to be modular enough to be able to be utilized in other SSIS packages by creating a dll and then simply click and have it loaded into the new package. Sounds innocent enough, until one realizes that in 2 years of work he had not learned that he could create a used defined function using T-SQL, and use that function in a SELECT statement..... I am now waiting for him to post a question here or some other forum such as "What is a user defined function and how do I create one?". So I can not / and we all should not cast aspersions too quickly. I can of course moan out loud when the individual has not made the least effort to learn on their own. And wonder what type of IT management his firm has.

So I'm guessing that you can't use UPPER() IN SSIS?

I was thinking the same thing Ninja's...
I think I would have asked for my money back after attending that conference.

Not sure. I don't have an MS, I have an MA. I wonder what that one stands for... 😀
