Thanks everyone. No, I took 70-454 in the spring, so I've finished the developer track. I'm thinking about trying for the BI track too, but I don't have a lot of experience there, so it would be much more difficult.

If everything seems to be going well, you have obviously overlooked something.

Yesterday I gently ticked someone on the fingers for cross posting.

I got a private message of him apologizing and he explained me that he had now read the forum etiquette and the article on how to post questions and that he adapted his post accordingly.

That was great. Unfortunately this doesn't happen very often...

I must say they really put an effort in forum spam these days.

So much text...

Anyone care to take a look at this

He's then attempting to break down the problem in this

http://qa.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic1208227-391-1.aspx

Its not clear exactly whats wanted on first reading, but I think it now boils down to either speed up a cross join on 100K rows, or devise another strategy.

Should be right up Jeffs Street :hehe:

Did anyone else read this comment and think "homework"? I'm not sure if this is a non-native English translation issue or a homework requirement...

I've glanced a couple of times at the first thread and never understood what he wanted. Has it been clarified? Or is it still just guess work?

I thought you were already IN the mountains. Do you just mean different mountains?
