  • Reply To: The New Normal Annoyances

    For me at least, the transition to a more permanent home-working setup was relatively smooth.  I was already WFH one day per week anyway for childcare reasons so my home...

  • RE: Would You Pay To Wear Jeans?

    I agree, there's always more than one way to crack a walnut with SSIS. I'll do some digging and see what I can find out.

  • RE: Table row count using 3 different ways

    Nice to see I started a healthy debate! I'm going to bear this stuff in mind - I'm always looking for smarter-running code!
