Are the posted questions getting worse?

    Anyway, it's all an evil plot by Craig to kill off the top point scorers - anyone with more than about 5000 points - so that he can climb to the top of the league.

    Nono, it's just a plot by Evil Kraig! There is no good nor evil. There are only winners and "good facts", and losers with lying propaganda against the successful establishment. "Real Facts" are inconsequential.

  • General solution for that is probably Buffalo Milk at Two Harbors.

    That would be on Catalina Island.

    Too bad SQLSaturday in Phoenix is two weeks after I am in Arizona. I will be in Prescott 4/13 - 4/15. Driving down on the 13th and leaving on the 15th.

    I read the end of that and I am not getting involved...

    Initial gut feel - improper transaction management (leaves transactions open) combined with connection pooling. Connection gets discarded from pool and data that should have been committed and was thought committed suddenly vanishes.

    If so, they'll see open transactions from the DMVs, possible log growth and locking (unless everything's running with nolock). It's a code problem, SQL doesn't just discard data randomly and if it was corruption they would know about it (connections getting closed with sev 24 errors)

    Makes sense and was another possibility I'd thought of, but I don't have the front end app experience to help them directly or to even confirm that's the malfunction.

    So... What do I win?

    At least one more "point" on SSC.

    I think we should convert "points" to "pints" and stand on Redgate's lawn with kegs and everyone gets a free one for each point.

    Only condition: You have to drink them all that day.

    Put up about 5000 whiteboards and see what comes out of a drunken mass of DBAs.

    At least you didn't say "pants". πŸ˜›

    Pints from Red Gate is a good idea, but at the rate I drink it would take me 5000 days to achieve alcohol toxicity.

    5000 days isn't alcohol toxicity anymore. It's liver failure by that time.

    AUI, meaning Administering Under Influence.

    Isn't that illegal?

    I'm sure there's some sort of law against that... Or is the law for it? I can never remember.

    Ditto. It will be a quick trip for me, in Fri, out Sat, but looking forward to it.

    Not sure it's illegal, but frowned upon for sure. We were warned a few times at JD Edwards as our deployments were on Fri night and we'd often go out for dinner as a team. Some times people might have a beer, which became an issue if we ever had problems during deployment.

    I'm pretty sure Phil Factor would argue it should be mandatory.

    No one ever expects the Spanish Inquisition.
