@Vérace There's a specific wiki rejection reason for copied content. I usually search for the submitted text but didn't on this occasion - I would have voted to reject if I had.
@PaulWhite OK Paul, thanks for that - I'll reject in future. I did think that it was rather facile just to copy and paste. It felt a bit like "cogging your eccer" (Dublin slang for copying homework :-) ).
The documentation about ALTER DEFAULT PRIVILEGES tells you a possible reason - it is not that clearly described, though.
Let's see, what is said:
You can change default privileges only for objects that will be
created by yourself or by roles that you are a member of.
This means that the ...
I think the only thing I missed is 'Give it a try!!!'
First time for everything. Just got a call from "windows technical department in Austin Texas" that wanted to help me with some problems I have with my computer. After 10 minutes of fun conversation they hang up without even saying goodbye.
@ypercube Thanks, I'll listen once I'm out of this class later today. It sounds like he also posted something that sounds like a denial on his blog today, but it isn't really clear what he's denying.
@dezso They did not come to that before giving up ;). We got stuck where they should explain why my computer sent information about issues to their company.
Ok, I just checked out this date dimension table built by someone else and it has a primary key on a datekey that is yyyymmdd and a fillfactor of 90%. I don't understand why someone would do that. Thoughts?
@JNK My mother gets these calls frequently - they say that "your computer may have a virus" My mother replies "That's strange, I don't have a computer!"... I've told her to refer them to my mobile number in future - if enough people did that, they'd give up as a waste of money.
Back when the Nigerian bank account thing was big, I wrote a standard letter saying that I was interested ("my father spent many happy years in Africa... yadda, yadda") and could they ring me. When they did, I'd say "hang on a second", put the phone aside and do nothing. They'd eventually hang up. Hopefully I contributed to the demise (or at least quiescence) of this scam.
@mmarie When the Illuminati take over the globe and institute a new calendar, the last thing you want to be worrying about are page splits in your date dimension table in the warehouse
These people did weird stuff, but occasionally they do something interesting. It made me question what they were doing and if there was any logic behind it.
These people were super interesting. This client has no technical resources. A good chunk of their applications are SAAS. They don't have a huge budget for tech, but they will spend as necessary.
So the previous consultants told them they needed SharePoint 2013, built a DW with Clustered Columnstore Index and put a Tabular model on top
which caused the client to have to purchase SQL Server Enterprise instead of BI
no one queries the DW. They interact with the data through the tabular model only.
AND last week I figured out that they made their SharePoint site externally accessible and didn't use an SSL certificate so all the usernames and passwords and data is coming through unencrypted, I think.
This is why you can't blindly trust consultants, even if they are MS partners.
@mmarie sorry - i'm in a horrible mood right now. anyway, i'm not all about calling people out by name. however, not sure that what i did was much better
@ypercube Yes, it sounds he's saying the 'hack' was obtaining a copy of the source code of a Greek government website controlled by some EU officials. Am I understanding correctly?
I have no tacos. I wasn't hungry thirty minutes ago but now I'm gnawing on the table. I blame Zane. And JNK with his heretical burrito stance. And Lamak because, Laxmook
@JamesLupolt Yes, something like that. I think his point was that that website/org should be controlled by the government. I thought it was to be honest.
But there is no point in saying that they would gain sensitive info of all cictizens, like their tax numbers. The governemnt already has that.
Ok, opinion please.... I am speaking at IT/Dev Connections and part of my presentation is a BBQ restaurant dashboard. I was thinking about bring some little 2 oz bottles of KC BBQ sauce to hand out to people who ask good questions/share good comments. If you were in the audience would you think that was cool or dumb?
I was pleasantly surprised by Kevin Feasel's presentation sqlsaturday.com/404/sessions/details.aspx?sid=14210 He was amusing and the tips he offered were very practical and able to be immediately implemented.
unfortunately sqlsat isn't in my region very often
@AaronBertrand is coming to dutchland in a few months, but that isn't really even close, that would require an overnight stay even though i'm considering it
One of our DBA's is really good but gives terrible explainations. Web Server is timing out. "Server was busy" Packages running late "Activity is high". Come on man.
@swasheck Yeah but you can't just pump out that sort of explaination and not do anything. The users as a result are trying to make reporting to try detect issues using methods that are suspect at best.
@swasheck Indeed it is. But telling the fellow DB tem members that your theory is high activity is not very helpful. We have to be able to communicate the issues to our end users in a way that can understand. We can't just give a that's how ti is answer.

@Lamak To have unspeakable, fabulous powers and access to the Teachers Lounge would be a PITA? I'd have my diamond and then that's it, right? It's not like any work has to be done
> I will write my nomination shortly. Lorem Ipsum sut whatever Latin. Lorem Ipsum sut whatever Latin. Lorem Ipsum sut whatever Latin. Lorem Ipsum sut whatever Latin.
shoot. if it's going to be that kinda party, imma stick ... nvm
We were getting these timeouts from the web app. So I look at wait stats for that instance and see we aren't really having any major waits which leads me to beleive that the problem is network related. So I suggest we look into the network stats. Which I don't have access too atm.
The response I get is "It's not a clear cut item".... Do you see why this is frustrating me?
@Zane we tried to fail over from an ancient server two Sundays in a row, the network setup is still disabling the wannabe master from being accessed by the application
it took more than a month to get to this state, so we cannot say it's not improving
