  • RE: Stored Procedure throws Violation of PRIMARY KEY constraint when called concurrently whit same parameters

    Eric M Russell (6/14/2016)

  • RE: Security Convenience

    On the other hand, if setting up security requires more effort than necessary, some administrators might choose an easy way out by simply granting permission to (nearly) everyone. Even with...

  • RE: Positive or Negative

    I would definitely opt for the positive way, if I had not been hunting down database defaults overwritten by ORM-defaults on insert. Great if you define an Active or IsActive...

  • RE: What's a Code Smell?

  • RE: Need Ammunition for Developers Doing Select *'s

    Since BIGINT is larger than the number of atoms in the universe, we do not use it very often.

  • RE: Missing green arrow on the sql server icon in object explore

    I usualy do not reply with a link but in this case the information is too much and too complex to repeat it right here,

    You can find relevant information about...

  • RE: Try It

    Trying to solve problems with the knowledge at hand undoubtedly has some benefits. At least one person on your site will have hands-on experience with it because he or she...

  • RE: Citizen Programmers

    ZA_Crafty (12/11/2014)


    Well if it was not for the VB of the 90's I would not have been a programmer today.

  • RE: Artist or Scientist?

    astone-1154729 (8/19/2014)


    It's not the artistic nature of people that leads to poor application development. It's just simple ignorance or lack of experience, maybe indifference.
