Srsly? You find Tom Demarco's "lack of experience" disturbing? Or Jeff Atwood's experience too limited to agree with his conclusions?
I didn't say "lack of experience" -- I said...

A bit off topic here, but witchdoctors and medical doctors aren't really from the same branch. Witchdoctors were pioneers in modern medicine and had many, many success stories, based...

Although I'm willing to whole-heartedly agree with many of the arguments in the article, I'm afraid I have to come to a very different conclusion. My previous job was...

Yes, it really is that hard, nearly impossible, to lock a DBA out of rows, columns, or anything. First, they need access to do backups and for running analysis...

A good point, one I've seen happen before. To be precise, though, there is no such thing as theoretically unbreakable. As I said before, the first axom of...

Our Congress already does this. ...

You forgot something very important that I learned very early on in my career. Sometimes, you just have to sit back and let bad things happen, or now one...

Jeff, John -- thank you guys, both. The tally table isn't going to work here. Oracle is giving me an ORA-3113 when I attempt to perform an Insert...

Thanks for the advice. I did the first two, but the last item isn't up to me. I can create it however I want on my local (development)...
