    Just an update, the horse looks good. Vet came today, said there will be a scar, but full recovery expected.

    Good to hear.

    Did you find the cause yet ? ( prevention measures )

    No, walked all around the property, can't find a place where there was impact, though there are quite a few places that I worry about. Will remediate those.

    Can't make things completely horse proof, unfortunately, and as skittish as the beasts are, they do tend to hurt themselves.

    Speaking of it: a friend of mine guessed it might have been caused by a stallion hoof.

    Directly followed by her asking "What the h*** are you discussing on a SQL forum????"

    Good news indeed. I don't think the horse will mind that scar...

    Nah, horses think scars are sexy. They're big duellers.

    Make sure you remember to schedule regular log backups.

    Driving this in reverse is what comes to mind here.

    The way that my firewood gathering has been going so far this year, I could use one or two deliveries like this...

    I had to read it a couple times, but that's a funny caption πŸ˜€

    That timber looks wider than the guy is tall. Crazy.

    I like plumbers. They seem to do a better job than I do at hooking pipes together

    Yeah, but ask them to do a simple reorganisation of the second nonclustered index on a database table and they'll look at you like you're an idiot... πŸ˜€

    Anyone here do a lot of .NET work and willing to travel/speak on those topics? Might have some funding for you.

    Jeff, maybe we can entice you into the CLR world :-D:w00t:;-):hehe:

    Heh... sure... I'd be happy to be the second part of the act where I show people how to do things in T-SQL instead of using CLR's. πŸ˜€ The exception would be splitters, of course. πŸ˜‰

    Don't even get me started on the incredibly interesting answers I've gotten for "Describe two differences between Truncate and Delete".

    BWAAA-HAAA!!!! Such easy questions! πŸ˜‰ Everyone knows they're spelled differently and have a different number of letters! :hehe:
