Are the posted questions getting worse?

    Maybe this is MS's way of pushing people to use SSISDB instead.

    This also happened with previous versions - its a pain but solution is to install the previous versions of SSMS side by side - and only use the version specific SSMS for managing Integrations Services, and 17.x for everything else

    Which is why I need 3 different versions of Visual Studio installed on my laptop.

  • Steve, there's no good way to add comments to Report Post anymore. Can you set this thread Read Only? Nothing is getting accomplished because the OP refuses to give anyone the information we need to help him out and everyone is just piling on to that refusal.

    Meh, horror is (post BIDS) finding right version of VS with a correct available extension to even create a package :angry:
    And don't get me started on SSMS 17.x inability to connect to 2016 Integration Services :pinch:

    Seriously? Our main vendor is about to go to 2017. And it's not backwards compatible?

    Well, newer versions of SSMS have thus far never been able to connect to previous versions of SSIS, which bites when you have more than one version of SQL hanging around...
    I mean really, who *doesn't* like having two or three versions of one tool?

    As for getting the right version of SSDT, ugh.  If you don't have full Visual Studio, good luck figuring out WHICH version of SSDT you've got...
    You can find the VS version it's built on, the .NET version etc, but the straight-up "SSDT vX?"  Nope, not gonna tell you!

    I was tempted to report the original post 3 times -- may get the whole thread deleted 😀

    This, was by far, the most entertaining part of the entire thread:

    I was able to return 1.9 million rows in approximately 12 seconds. That's pretty close to your 183 rows and 11 seconds, so I'm going with it.

    He's trolling us. His last post said he'd been working on this bug for 2 years and expected $240k worth of salary ($10 per hour) for that work.

    If he'd been working on this for that long, you'd expect he'd be able to show the issue on more than one machine and to give us a reason why he spent 2 years looking for this bug.

    Pretty sure that's an attempt at humor. I don't think this person has evil intent. I think they're seriously lost and just don't have a clue how to get out of the wilderness. However, I've pointed at the nearby subway station as many times as I care to.

    Is that what you use?

    Yeah, that made me chuckle. I don't think the guy is malicious, I think he's just utterly deluded. He probably believes he's mere moments away from the greatest stock trading system ever developed and all the logic is in one single, slow SQL view which he daren't share with anyone lest they know it's secrets.

    Never mind the MS money - what about that view?  I'll bet the NSA wishes it knew about that super-secret view.  It might solve half of the world's problems, right? 😛

    I think a little research and play is in order :laugh:
