geez. it's like it's a holiday week in the US or something
 
11 hours later…
14:04
hello people
heeeelllllllllooooooooo @Lamak
how are the thanksgiving preparations going?
slow
ah, well.....I know nothing about it
basically it's a holiday to celebrate the fact that we came to the US and stole the land from the indigenous people

14:12
Well they all disappeared due to some smallpox thing they contracted from... oh
right.
exactly
fun holiday to celebrate
I just enjoy the gravy
I don't even like gravy

Still confused. Are you trying to fix a meaningless wait counter when nothing is running, or the slow performance of your CLR when it is running? You still haven't convinced me these things are related. — Aaron Bertrand ♦ 10 mins ago

I think I should rage-delete it
14:43
anyone travelling for the holiday?
Staying my ass put right here. Don't plan to leave the house until Saturday (except for coffee and bagels a block away).
We aren't going anywhere either.
Can't be bothered. People are idiots.
We usually end up traveling for Thanksgiving/Christmas/New Years. The wheel of travel landed on Christmas for us
My family, all in the same city, max 20ish minutes to anyone's home
We're not going anywhere for Christmas either. Two kids in diapers? You come to us this year.
My family is flying here; her family is like you, everyone within an hour drive
14:51
Wife, let's see, MIL is an hour away, Next closest are grandparents set 1 which is 6 hours. Another 6 hours beyond that is her FIL and BIL. An hour to two south of them is the second set of grandparents in law and then finally her other brother is an hour beyond that.
With the exception of the last brother-in-law, that's a fairly standard trip
My in-laws are all nearby, but my folks are far and never want to travel for the holidays. So I rarely see them for Thanksgiving or Christmas. They are kind of lame
But do they at least they manage to vacation in Mexico once a year? ;)
I wish
15:51
@bluefeet ... and now we wont let anyone in because we dont want them to do that to us (... i think i got that FUD correct, right?)
@AaronBertrand on your fries
16:24
@bluefeet I'm going to the US for christmas.....first time visiting
@Lamak that's awesome
yup, hopefully :-)
@AaronBertrand yup, and new year's in miami
16:29
yeah, we are very excited about the whole thing
I might have to ask you guys for tips on what to do over there though
@Lamak crank up the will smith
number one on my list
party in the city where the heat is on
which one is that?
goin' to miami ... bienvenido a miami
(will smith song)
16:45
ah, right, silly me
sorry. my head's killing me
I'm sorry that your head is doing that too
@swasheck hungover?
@bluefeet no. i just get crushing headaches periodically
@swasheck migraines?
16:51
not hemispherical like a standard migraine ... it's almost like an allergy of some sort
sorry. I'm a migraine sufferer so I understand the crushing headache problem
@swasheck maybe it's an allergy to thinking
@bluefeet my wife has migraines too. in fact, her sister has the exact same symptoms and just went through brain surgery this past weekend. removed total mass about the size of a baseball from her temporal lobe
but my wife had an mri about 3 months ago and it came back clean
@Lamak definitely maybe
@swasheck geez that's scary. Is she ok?
her nerves had excessive bleeding and they had to spend a lot of time taking care of that, but she's recovering nicely now
very paranoid, though
heard tharts common

Q: Recover my data deleted by accident

user2643961I am new kid on the block, and by accident I have deleted all records from a table. Is there anyway to recover them back.I am using SQL server 2008 Any help will be greatly appreciated

@bluefeet EXEC dbo.UpdateResume
@bluefeet the link in one answer goes to a domain that's on sale
17:46
@swasheck god damn.
@bluefeet: Not sure but it seems to me the first example in here is not supposed to have Total = count(*) over(partition by cola). And the links should probably be different.
@Zane heh. that about summarizes my response.
18:27
@AndriyM nice catch. I'll fix it shortly. Thanks. Obviously it was too early when I answered
@bluefeet No rest for the wicked moderators
18:53
MUST CONTROL FIST OF DEATH
/turtles
Seriously, I just heard someone say we had the dedicated admin connection disabled for SECURITY REASONS
I like turtles!
Have you thought about switching to MySQL? Then you just turn off the phpmyadmin website and nobody can hurt your database
@MikeFal do these same people argue to use a port other than 1433 or rename sa?
@AaronBertrand Stunningly enough, no
It was all I could do not to write unprofessional things in the response email.
19:21
Hmm, do I downvote for not answering the question or upvote for hand drawn pictures

A: How to Pass parameter in ADO.NET Source SSIS

TsSkToHere's the OLE DB Apporach: Create some parameters for your package. If you make them Required then they are, well, required and your package won't run without some values. The field in the Value column will be the default and used for debugging. Then create a variable and add an expression: ...

@AndriyM fixed, thanks again :)
@billinkc never, ever, ever
19:53
@billinkc all kinds of awesome in that question, too. unsized varchar cast, dates stored as varchars
Was looking for a hammer to shut down but then got lazy

Q: SSIS Data transformation Specific rows

MandarIs there any way in SSIS by which I can transform only 1000 rows on every run.For E.g.from 0 to 1000 for first time run.Second time 1001 to 2000 and likewise till end of data in source.

I think the answer should be because that's the way it is.

Q: Dynamic columns in PIVOT statements-- Why isn't there a simple, out-of-the-box solution?

RLHFirst, there are plenty of questions on SO and across the web asking how to create dynamic column headings for PIVOT statements when the column headings aren't static. All answers point to the same answer-- build the list of columns into a string and then execute your SELECT\PIVOT statement from...

i'd be lying if i said i wasnt excited about jurassic world
@swasheck now you aren't?
que?
20:43
@swasheck excited about jurassic world?
yeah. i'm excited
i get it now
haha. idiomatic english sucks. yeah, yeah
@swasheck so, did I read that wrong?
i'd be lying if i said i wasnt excited about jurassic world
@Lamak no. you read it correctly. it's an idiom and it's inaccurate.
i'd be lying if i said i'm not excited about jurassic world
^^^ that's the accurate representation
20:48
@swasheck ah, I see now
or maybe i'm just an idiot and learned poor english from my southern family
(grew up in florida)
nah, I read things too literally
@bluefeet can you migrate that here?
@AaronBertrand really? You think it's still on-topic?
I hesitate because it was self-deleted
I think it is marginally answerable, since Microsoft have posted explicit comments about why dynamic pivot doesn't exist (and I don't know that the Connect item will be around forever, nor how discoverable it really is - I happened to know it existed).
Never mind, I didn't see it was deleted.
20:52
I just am not sure it is good enough to undelete and then migrate it
@bluefeet like I said, never mind, I didn't see he deleted it (after asking me to post an answer)
@AaronBertrand okie
21:05
@Lamak I think that was an example of verb tense agreement. From what I've learnt, If I *said* I *am* not... would be incorrect, unless you made the "I am not..." part direct speech: If I said, "I am not..."....
@AndriyM I don't see why
the way it was written seemed to me like @swasheck was saying he was excited, but....
@Lamak el pretérito imperfecto de subjuntivo
@mmarie yeah
@Lamak I see. It didn't seem so to me but I understand how that can be confusing.
I think it's the English attempt at imperfect subjunctive, but we don't conjugate verbs correctly/so easily in American English.
21:10
so, did I read it wrong or not?
also, "i wasnt excited" is a content clause, so S/V agreement isn't as big of a deal (that it matches the tense of the main verb), right? however, the clause itself is nonsensical inasmuch as it does not convey my intent which is, "i am, and have been since announced, excited about jurassic world."
holy crap. this refs/ntfs eval is so much information. trying to distill it is making my brain hurt
@Lamak i think you read it "incorrectly" but it's completely understandable because english has a hard time communicating its intentions.
and i understand how you interpreted it but the colloquialism blows.
@swasheck so, how would you say that you were excited and now you aren't?
in the same way you wrote your sentence
Probably the same way.
@Lamak i wouldnt.
@swasheck aw, but I need to see how to understaaaand
21:19
i'd say, "initially i wasnt excited about the idea of jurassic world. however, after seeing the trailer, i am very excited about it"
"i'd be lying if that trailer didnt make me change my mind about hating jurassic world. it looks exciting."
Grammatically, though, the same sentence could mean that @swasheck was excited about jurassic world only in the past, couldn't it?
@AndriyM yeah. that's why i initially said that i wouldnt say it the same way.
so, if I expand your same sentence: I'd be lying if I said I wasn't excited about jurassic world when I saw the first trailer, but now I'm dissapointed
or something like that
too much ambiguity. the colloquialism is awkward
So, there we are then, English is ambivalent. That's the gist of what @Lamak has been trying to find out, I think.
21:23
yes. communication of colloquial concepts is extremely difficult in written english.
@AndriyM yeah, it's just that I literally misunderstood what @swasheck said.
@Lamak (because of the reason i just mentioned)
@swasheck it's just that if I translate everything you said in that sentence I can't seem to understand why it means what it means and not the you were excited
in the past
poor grammar by me because of colloquialisms that reinforce the poor grammar.
(see! i'm blameless!) :D
<pretty word> I hate SO
@Ryan Uh, yeah, thanks, I do know how to read. Don't post the same question to multiple Stack Exchange sites, ok? — Aaron Bertrand 1 min ago
21:36
Well, he's relatively new, probably was still unaware that cross-posting is (was?) bad.
@AndriyM but why insinuate that I didn't have any idea that the identical question was not posted by the same person?
relatively new people should not be smartasses by default.
(Also he's been a member for over a year and a half - just because his rep is low is no excuse for not learning how the site works in that time.)
@AaronBertrand Agree, that's a material point.
And then this guy - down-voted my post, then posted a terrible answer and pointed me at it.

A: SQL Server trigger update(col) true or false if inserted value equals original?

MarceloBarbosaI've done this: IF OBJECT_ID ('dbo.after_update','TR') IS NOT NULL DROP TRIGGER dbo.after_update; GO CREATE TRIGGER [dbo].[after_update] ON [dbo].[tb1] AFTER UPDATE AS BEGIN -- SET NOCOUNT ON added to prevent extra result sets from -- interfering with SELECT statements. ...

That all happened within two minutes.
Happy f'ing thanksgiving

today we give thanks for our bountiful harvest of idiots.

In SSMS how do I remove the line of hyphens on text output?
@jcolebrand [key:del]
doh, figured it out
remove the column headers
nice one.
so that is SSMS-wide then?
Well, that was in query options
I'm sure there's a default option
ahhh, missed that. Yes, there is an option SSMS wide, just found it.
I like that setting lol
I rarely need that detail in my result sets, I can add it in where I need it
Now, how can I have the query bake that in lol
@jcolebrand totally agreed.
23:03
Where's @AaronBertrand and his amazing knowledge of the MS Environments
I know what his answer will be "how lazy are you Cole? Just set the damned settings"
This is just about sharing with others so they always get the right information
(this is a precious internal monologue)
@swasheck If only you had access to all of them ...
They are all priceless pearls
