  • RE: No Limits

    Steve, if anyone does share with you their big cloud operations please beg for permission to share the gist of it with us.

  • RE: Stack Ranking

    GSquared (7/25/2012)


    I used to work at a company where your review had to include scores from 1-10 on various aspects of your job duties. Wasn't ranked against others directly,...

  • RE: Stack Ranking

    It seems everyone is agreed that it's a flawed system. Considering the audience here is comprised of DBA and developers, I'm surprised there haven't been more improved-system suggestions. ...

  • RE: Why It's Good To Be Wrong

    Another reason to accept being proven wrong is that it shows someone else is aware enough to see/understand your mistake. As long as they've "got your back" you can...

  • RE: Self Scheduling Jobs

    Jeff Moden (6/24/2012)


    Ok... now you have my curiosity up. How would you schedule for something to run quarterly and guarantee that it schedules its next occurrence? How would...

    I would not want to be the person to inherit your role.

    Really? you wouldn't want to open up a Sharepoint WorkGroup site with it...

  • RE: Self Scheduling Jobs

    If the job fails to schedule its next occurrence then the job never runs again? So for quarterly jobs, you won't find out about the failure for at least...

    mtassin (5/22/2012)


    The logins are technically within the database at this point. It makes the database portable from instance to instance without having to clone the users from the original...

  • RE: Transactions 2

    Hugo Kornelis (5/23/2012)


    I guess that depends on the expectation. The code in this QotD contains no error-handling and an unconditional COMMIT statement.

  • RE: Turn varbinary bit ON/OFF

    Use-case?

    Part of what makes SQLServerCentral articles interesting to read is the story that explains the code. What prompted you to write these functions?

    Even if this solution "works" - what...

  • RE: New features in SQL 2012, the contained database

    Why do we want a database that can be accessed without a login?

    Between functional/role-based logins for applications and trusted machines, I can't think of a reason for this other than...
