The scientific papers stating that CO2 in not the reason for global warming aren't currently "en vogue". It's a lost cause trying to argument against the current "Global Warming is due to CO2" bandwagon.
What is the difference between the Instance Directory and the Installation directory?
Like where do you set the installation location and where the instance goes? I can see where the Instance can be set but is that where the Program Files go?
@JukEboX The terms are somewhat flexibly used in different circumstances by different people. The documentation has a good explanation of which files are shared or not, and where they are located docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/sql-server/install/…
I would probably say the installation directory is the location of the shared components for all instances. The instance directory is the root directory for a particular instance of SQL Server. That's just my opinion though.
That was a very quick read of the documentation page
But yes, as it says:
> Common files used by all instances on a single computer are installed in the folder <drive>:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\nnn\. <drive> is the drive letter where components are installed. The default is usually drive C. nnn identifies the version.
That said, the primary 'program file' for SQL Server is sqlservr.exe and that goes in the instance directory, since it can be different for different instances
The requirement is a bit vague, but I would say SQL Server meets that regardless of how you install it. You'd have to deliberately choose an instance directory already used by another program, and I don't even know if the SQL Server installer would allow that.
For example, my SQL Server 2022 shared components are in C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\160 and I have instances in D:\Databases\MSSQL16.SQL2022 and D:\Databases\MSSQL16.SQL2022EXPRESS
None of those is shared with any other application
You could also tell them the plural of 'directory' is 'directories', not 'directorys'.
Don't listen to anything Sean might say about that
@PaulWhite if during the installer it asks for the MSOLEDBSQL.msi and It wont' take the latest one or the one in it's own installation package, what should I do?
@JohnK.N. then how do they account for the reversal of climate change during the 2 years we were on lock down and teh massive reduction of CO2 release?
The aborigines used to have a calendar based on a 7 year 40 year and 100 year cycle and predicted that when these cycles all came together that the land would not bear many fruit.
@JohnK.N. Now now, we all know it's only CO2 and humans. No other items possible.
I've been told there are "peer reviewed" papers stating as such, and they can't be wrong.
We have summer because humans burn CO2 related fuels in the winter, which then causes the warm summer season. Which then humans stop burning CO2 related fuels and it gradually becomes colder. See!

In other news, I have this new 10GbE switch and wow are the fans on it loud.
@JohnK.N. Any of these papers postulating that global warming isn't largely due to CO2 (and/or methane - largely from farming) to be found in the Nature stable of journals or Science?
i'm pretty sure that there should be a mandatory retirement age for elected officials and it should match the age that social security benefits become available
@ErikDarling Not sure if this is already here - Dianne Feinstein died today (90) - she voted for the last time yesterday - fair play I suppose - the taxpayer got their money's worth!
@Josh I was "forced" to the New Teams and it ran slower and used more resources than the old Teams... meanwhile it flaunted multiple messages that it used less :/
If I am getting a "NO SUCH HOST" to connected to the FQDN of my SQL Server even though I can ping it, am I missing a DNS entry or do I have something not set right?
