  • RE: How Important Is Usability?

    To answer the question, I'll ask another. Why have software that is NOT usable?

    An application, generally speaking, serves a specific need for the user and if the user cannot easily...

  • RE: Spatial Indexing

    Spence L (9/5/2008)


    OK have it your way:

    "You can create up to 249 spatial indexes on each spatial column in a table."

    OK, my foot is securely located in my...

  • RE: Spatial Indexing

    AJ (9/5/2008)


    The MSDN article referred to is somewhat ambiguous, or perhaps the question is not formulated correctly to support the correct answer.

    Ref. MSDN: "You can create up to 249...

  • RE: Lost in Space

    Looking back at my own portable storage of private information, I suspect that many people simply don't even think about it. Then, there is the mentality that it won't happen...

  • RE: One Milly-yon IOPS - Database Weekly (Sept 1, 2008)

    One thing I don't quite understand is why these SSDs are using flash type memory for server solutions (due to its limited life span)? For laptops, absolutely, they need to...

  • RE: DB File Extension

    I suppose that technically .ldf should be included but I'm inclined to agree with most here who got stuck on wording.

  • RE: The August 2008 Energy Update

    Steve Jones - Editor (8/28/2008)


    I've heard the "killing birds" arguments and I don't know how true it is. There have been conflicting reports. In my mind, perhaps we should do...

  • RE: The August 2008 Energy Update

    I think everyone should have solar panels on their homes. Sure, they don't generate a huge amount but it would certainly help. We had a news piece in the last...

  • RE: Working Under Pressure

  • RE: Data File Growth

    Steve Jones - Editor (8/26/2008)


    My guess is that what the network admin regards as "alarming" is in no way based on the activity of the server. It's strictly a file...

  • RE: Working Under Pressure

    I remember a crisis with my former employer I wish I would have had help to resolve...

    About three weeks before the fall semester was due to start (I worked for...

  • RE: Data File Growth

    There is a weekly maintenance job that rebuilds the indexes - that explains to me why the log file is so large. The difficulty with explaining why the data is...

  • RE: The Brainstorm Zone

    jpratt (8/21/2008)


    This is definitely a technique that I've developed over the years, as it is counter-intuitive for a young, high-energy, up-and-coming developer/analyst.

    Hmm... If I don't have the same high-energy and...

  • RE: The Brainstorm Zone

    My wife has definitely had her fair share of "technical briefings" as I work through issues. I have, on many occasions, dreamt the solution. As soon as I wake up,...

  • RE: The Training Value

    bwild (8/15/2008)
