Where does my data come from?Well the mommy data and the daddy data loved each other very much so....
He's being a tad lazy now.
Prior experience with this one eh?
Not exactly. But replying with "extended events sounds OK, can you write a script for me" doesn't really sound proactive to me 😀
Yeah - spoon feed me please.

The part I don't get about people asking for help and then using solutions they don't understand is about support. What if something goes wrong? What happens in 2 months when a new situation comes up and they have to modify the code? What are they going to tell their boss? "Uhhh...I can't fix it. It's not my fault. Some guy on the internet did it."
Granted, there are plenty of things I don't know. But I certainly wouldn't put anything I don't understand into production. After all, I'm the one who's going to be supporting it.

What where they thinking? They need to use ISNULL to preserve the data type from the column. :hehe:

They'll just come back and ask for you to fix the problem or do the modification.

Of course, you're exactly right. Maybe I just have an over-developed sense of responsibility for the data I'm responsible for. 😉

Others having no sense of responsibility doesn't mean yours is over-developed.

I ran across one earlier today that was like this:
coalesce(count(*), 1, 0)
Really had to scratch my head trying to figure out what they were actually trying to do...

Anyone think they can help this person? I think they really need it, and what's more, deserve it. 6.5? Please, no.6.5 to 2000 with DTS. Ouch.

For some reason, this reminds me of a hilarious post that appeared on the internet somewhere, sometime in the murky past. The poster was (I think) responding to complaints about internet connection speed by describing his first internet connection. All I remember for sure was that the first link from the poster's house to the network consisted of tin cans connected by string - after converting his transmissions into binary, he shouted them into the tin can and the neighbor on the other end served as an interface to some only slightly less primitive technology. I would love to find this again (because it makes me laugh so hard that Diet Coke comes out of my nose), but my Google-fu has failed me - anybody ever heard of it or have a line on where to find it?
I'm fairly certain you just described Jeff and Tom's first encounter...

Board games and card games are my favorites. I have a weekly dominoes session and a semi-monthly Gin Rummy session with friends. Euchre is played occasionally along with Monopoly and scrabble. Thre's nothing more fun than arguing "home" rules for Monopoly. 😛Tom
I always hated playing that game with my brothers - until I realized one day that we'd never actually *read* the rules, we just learned it from my older brother. Bastard. Wiped the board(walk) with him a couple of times until he got pissed and threw the pieces, losing half of them for us. hehehe
