  • RE: script error

    Huge Props to Jon. I just migrated a bunch of projects from 2014 to 2016 and hit this issue. I was using SSMS 17.6, which obviously didn't work. Installed 16.5.3...

  • RE: But we've always done it that way…

    I jokingly refer to my current team as the Bondo Group. So much changes from data to day with processes, but nothing ever really changes. Just more layers get added...

  • RE: Memory

    Boooo...I want my free set of steak knives!

  • RE: Update Identity column

    Nice question, and it could be tricky for anyone that has manually updated an identity value through the GUI. I've done this on occasion and it's not apparent that a...

  • RE: Prepping for Winter

    I was working in Southwest Florida back in 2004 and 2005, so our seasonal preparation became very important. Generators, extension chords, on-call schedules, etc...all became critical when you have to...

  • RE: It's Not Just Poor Coding

    I had a friend and his wife go to a party this year as an NFL player and a battered wife. But, my favorite costume has got to be the...

  • RE: Stuck in a Rut

    I'll take bored over stressed any day. At least boredom is in your control and can be remedied by seeking alternative uses of one's time. Certification, mentoring, interning in different...

  • RE: Have You Been Hacked?

    Have you been hacked? Why yes, yes I have. Got my new card from the bank a couple of weeks ago. I still get fishing phone calls from a...

  • RE: Database Design Follies: NULL vs. NOT NULL

    NULL seems to be encouraged when working with SSAS. While you can default values to mean not present (i.e. -1 surrogate keys), many of the default features/function within SSAS rely...

  • RE: Triple Digits

    Wow, now I really feel underpaid. 😉 I can see the 7% bump for Oracle merely because it's more difficult to find someone with those skills versus MSSQL....
