  • It's great that the SQLSERVER community is like this but also a bit sad that the collaboration and helpfulness is regarded as unusual.

  • Hello EvaryOne,

    Can you please any tell me how we can track Sql Logs, like who has cleared the SQL logs

    Thanks very Much

    Regards

  • This site is awesome (And only made so by the people that contribute - thank you to you all!). I don't tend to post much seeing as every time I've found a question I can help with, someone has got there before me 🙂 But i do sit here and read the articles / editorials / stairways / forum posts and learn a heck of a lot.

    I was pointed this way on my initial 'How to write T-SQL statements' course - the guy that ran it basically said if you get nothing else out of the next few days - make sure you sign up to SSC.

    Also I think Steve (Or the person/people that put the daily email together) may be psychic - it seems that whenever I'm asked to do something that I'm not sure of, I check the daily email and the subject is one of the 'Featured Content' articles. Makes me look like a genius sometimes, but I always point my boss this way (Don't think he's ever visited but he's missing out).

  • I've signed up today for my first SQL Saturday in Cambridge, 12 September, looking forward to it.

    Agree, the community here is great, I've learned so much just by exploring this website.

    I keep meaning to sign up to one and somehow never get round to it - going to check out the planned events now and see if there is anything relatively close to where I am (Or failing that might make a weekend trip out of it and explore a new city!).

  • What you say is true. But sometimes it may not be viewed quite the same way by others. I've been in many a "discussion" with colleagues and have it viewed by others as being mean and fighting. We certainly get passionate at times. We put out ideas and someone else tears them down. This leads us to another idea that perhaps uses a kernel of the original and yet it get torn down too. Over time we have slowly built up a viable solution to a problem. Again from the outside it looks like an argument. From the inside we have joined our talents to solve a problem with no animosity towards each other at all. We just love what we do and can get very excited at times.

    It is fairly depressing and it's probably one of the reasons I'm more partial to SQL Server than I might otherwise be.

    It's great to see knowledgeable people taking time out of their own day to help people of all experience levels with their problems. Compared to some other communities where answers range from did you even read the question to down right wrong and snarky and insulting.

    From what I've seen, online discussion forums are a better venue for settling debates about software and database architecture than what takes place in conference rooms. Traditional conference room meetings are limited by time constraints, and too often the presumptive expert, the one with the most seniority or assertiveness, steals the show while everyone else takes notes.

    However, here on SQLServerCentral everyone is on a level playing field in terms of having an opportunity to express their ideas, there is plenty of peer review and input from professionals with diverse backgrounds, and the non-linear nature of an online forum allows time for participants to digest, research, and properly respond to what's being discussed.

  • I agree this site and most of the people here have been very very helpful and patient with me and others on various topics. But there are a few out there who I feel have been, let's just say less than helpful. We all have our ideas as to how things should be done, and no one likes to have their ideas torn apart. So be kind, and rewind. Rewind your mind to when you didn't 'know everything' and help someone else as others may have helped you along your way.

    I think someone wanted to be funny and check forums helpfulness by posting question in this particular thread :hehe:

  • I was very surprised when I first joined this site, but very pleased with the helpfulness of the SQL Server veterans.

    This is definitely a great model and I truly appreciate those out there who have been willing to respond to my questions with answers that allowed me to figure out my issue in question.

  • The SQL Server community has been the main reason I haven't gone totally to over to OSS with database development. Think about that. (The fact that C# and F# rock is also a factor.)

    If it weren't for SSC, user groups, blogs, Midnight DBAs, Brent, Buck and the rest of the gang, I'd probably be coding Python and Postgres in some Linux backroom for some dubious startup.

    There isn't any commercial software community like SQL Server community. And almost all OSS communities aren't as well organized.
