Bob Hovious (3/31/2009)
Hey Roy, didn't you hear? They started another thread that was invitation-only and you and I didn't make the cut.... just kidding...
... at least to my knowledge...
Seriously, I can't speak for everyone else, but my work is getting hectic for the moment and I've been trying to put some effort into helping people when I have time to look at the forums. I also joined Threadaholics Anonymous. We have support group meetings and give out pins. 😉
Oh you didn't hear Bob? You didn't make the cut either.
😀

and you and I didn't make the cut.
Yes, I heard...
That I didn't hear...
Or maybe I did...
I think I'll go back out and come back in and start all over from the beginning.

I've been told my work is half-fast.

Pins? I didn't get a pin... but... Oh damn, I didn't make the cut either? Crud.

Crud.
[font="Verdana"]... a much under-valued database design philosophy in my books. The crux of the issues being around the "row by row" approach to changes in the database. However, if you step up to creating the procedures around business objects (such as an entire invoice, for example) rather than a line-by-line approach (so procedures for the invoice header, procedures for the invoice line, procedures for the invoice summaries) and send all of the data to the procedures in (say) XML format, then the issues with row-by-row should go away.
Yes, I'm all in favour of it.
Er... what were we talking about? :blink:

No, Grant... you get a Threadaholics Anonymous pin after you abstain from posting to The Thread for a whole day... then a whole week... then a whole... dangit ... now I have to give my last pin back.
Bruce, The Thread is apparently on life-support. We are trying to keep the heart beating until we can find a donor. So by all means, consider your discourse on any crud that comes to mind.

[font="Verdana"]No, we are just holding our collective breaths until the next horrendous example arrives.
The good news is that we get to watch Yoda turn blue! :w00t:

Tsk Tsk, at shortly after 5 PM EST I thought it was going to be a day without "The Thread" being posted to one time. I almost posted myself but fought the urge.
I'm highly confident at this point that the thread is controlling a poster to ensure that it never dies. I'm thinking Bob Hovious or Alvin but can't be certain yet. They seem to have showed up right about the time this "thing" became alive. It may take me a while yet to pin it down but know this, I am on to it. :smooooth:

Not a horrendous example, but it's late and I feel like I'm missing something here.
Possibly a "homework" question?

Pssst, David.... it's Alvin... 😎
Bruce, I definitely got that feeling that he was looking for a magic wand to be waved for him. I got the impression he thought there was a query that could somehow find a prepopulated source list of synonyms for him. The issue is just TOO simple.
