I'm completely missing the point of the questioner over here. Can someone else give them a hand maybe?
Don't know why he doesn't understand. . . SQL is by no means my bread and butter and I've got it. Take this: -
1.BEGIN TRY
2. DECLARE @testvar AS INT
3. SET @testvar = 2 / 0
4. IF @@ERROR <> 0
5. PRINT N'Error Detected';
6.END TRY
7.BEGIN CATCH
8. PRINT N'Try Failure Detected';
9.END CATCH
Now, obviously this will throw an error due to divide by 0. The 'Try' picks up the error as soon as line 3 is executed, so line 4 never gets executed and we head out of the 'Try' block and into the 'Catch'.
But having read through the topic, I'm not touching it with a barge-pole.

You're not going to explain this in a such a way as to make him happy.I didn't believe you. Now I do.
I've been there often enough when trying to explain what you might call "high level language concepts" to people who think that all programming languages conform to the rules of Dartmoth Basic (ormaybe of Cesil - the old one, not the new one). So I believe it without difficulty. I've thrown in a comment, but I suspect it's a waste of time.
I'm either getting too old or just lazier in my old age. I no longer fight people who insist on being wrong. I try to help but if someone wants to set their hair on fire, I'll let them so long as they don't take any innocent bystanders out.
Yeah, I tried a bit, but once it was clear that he was pretty committed to one point of view, I decided maybe I didn't understand what was going on. That's why I came through here & go you guys to take a look. That 2nd, 3rd, 4th, etc. pairs of eyes all came to roughly the same conclusions.
Either way, I was done with that one but I was hoping we could help.

I saw what you guys were trying to do. I felt it futile to join and say the same thing.

I've got too many other things to deal with and only so much energy.
That's where dbcc timewarp comes into play
Exec dbcc TimeWarp @Date = '1976-09-01'
Is that the last time you were 19?
Try 14 and a little bit. 😀
I was 17 and a senior in high school. If I knew then what I know now.
17, brown & lean, and on the train to Uni.
7, I think I had just started 2nd grade. I saw my first computer that year punch cards and all.

Not that I'm aware of, but then I miss the hardware/server stuff sometimes.

I don't think so, I just finished a Microsoft DBA class and they said over and over and over "SQL Server doesn't do Load Balancing" and "Clustering does not implement Load Balancing". The instructor did say "Probably in the future", but it isn't out there now.

No announcement yet. I did hear something just this last month about an acquisition of a company that sold software that allows you to load balance. The acquisition was of course made by MS. I haven't seen any press releases and have nothing more to confirm it.
If it is true, it would lead me to believe that there may be something in the works to load balance.

I should have added a </sarcasm> or something to that post. I know full well that, other than SQL Server 2008 R2's parallel datawarehouse edition, SQL cannot and does not do scale-out.

The last I'd heard, they're planning on load balancing, but not until SQL Server 11, whenever that drops.

Now that definitely sounds interesting.

I hadn't heard of load balancing in SQL 11. The PDW edition is locked down well, and I wonder if they would be able to mature/test it by SQL 11, which I'd expect in 2011. We'll see what happens there.
