looks like trying to create all possible valid logins for sql server is a slow operation
who knew?
@JoeObbish Math. Math knew. ;)
@SeanGallardy Not true!
my top wait event is PREEMPTIVE_OS_NETVALIDATEPASSWORDPOLICY
although sadly the wait events don't even come close to adding up

@McNets I know you get a notification, still: I added a parragraph to dba.stackexchange.com/a/172512/6219
hope it's OK
@dezso it's perfect to me, thanks.

@Matt sorry to be late to the party, try this article.
I've used PowerDoc in the past in my env with very good results

@Marian Better late than never right? Thanks for the help.
Doesn't look like it has had much activity in the last couple of years.

Q: Are most of the NoSQL databases key/value stores technically?

KozuchThis video distinguishes between three (main) types of NoSQL databases: Key/Value store Tabular Document oriented Do these types differ in how they technically store their data or can they be considered all to be key/value stores since even the tabular ones (like Cassandra) may have variable ...

I have the feeling this is not a good fit on the site, but no idea which closing reason could apply
13:35
good morning
13:46
@dezso too localized for my liking. I don't think it helps anyone other than as a discussion point.
@MaxVernon then I follow you as sheep do
Do you think this adds anything important to Kin's answer? — dezso 17 secs ago

since we're on the subject of closing questions
let's say that I have a data set that I want to generate in SQL, but it doesn't make a lot of sense to generate in SQL
however, I'm curious to see efficient methods of doing it
Is that a good fit for the site? It's somewhat like a SQL challenge instead of a real, practical problem
Curiosity killed the cat.
Depends
Sometimes you do things in SQL that might not make sense because it's just easier to do them than to introduce yet another moving part/architecture/paradigm/whatever.
And good morning heapsters.
good morning!
@JoeObbish I'd be fine with a challenging question as long as it's answerable and not entirely open-ended.
generating data can be very useful for meaningful MCVEs, so I see it as helpful.
14:22
@SeanGallardy - do you have any contacts in the Windows 10 group? I have an alternate data stream that is showing up on Windows 10 system drives but cannot find any details on various search engines that this is OS-related. The stream is named Win32App_1 (I have a question on superuser about it)
ok, I'll probably post it tomorrow
need to verify that it isn't trivial first
@dezso & @MaxVernon I was thinking "too localised" too but the answer does seem useful in that it corrects the OP on the part of the MongoDB document storage.
I mean, it could be useful for others with the same misconception
@AndriyM yes, I agree, that answer might be somewhat helpful. I still think overall it's not that helpful - it's like a question saying "is the storage mechanism of SQL Server and MySQL the same". I don't see how that really helps anyone. Now, if you want to know how SQL Server or MySQL stores its data because you have a specific problem you're trying to address, then I'd say that is helpful.
perhaps the question could be re-worded such that it identifies why the OP needs to know if they are all key/value pair storage systems - i.e. they want to know if there is a NoSQL system that doesn't use a simple key/value pair system for a specific reason.

2 days ago, by ConcernedOfTunbridgeWells
Two mathematicians are having an argument over a proof. The first argues "Can't you see? It's trivial." The second mathematician is not satisfied with this explanation and scribbles incomprehensibly on the blackboard for ten minutes before exclaiming "Ah! You're right it is trivial."
@dezso You got me there :)
15:05
@JoeObbish I think it's good.
15:17
@Matt it's free, so figured it fits the task well :)
"Data has gravity - computational power will move towards it." Satya Nadella.
Crap that noise scares me sometimes.
@Marian That is does. As a plus its PowerShell so I can make changes to it fairly easily.
@Matt yeah, not much activity lately, but worth a try on a test env if you've got some time
@Matt lol, disable the notifications
Nah... keeps me alert and it sounds like work.
15:35
@MaxVernon I prefer "DEVELOPERS DEVELOPERS DEVELOPERS"
ME TOO!.. And lots of splashy head-sweat
@JoeObbish thats not Satya though
I know, that's my point!
now I have to watch the video again
ah :)
we all do, if you please
he did get everyone clapping
points for that
15:40
A.I. for workplace safety is going to constantly prod me via my phone to keep working and stop being so lazy, isn't it?
@MaxVernon you're describing a mom
yes, except this one really does have eyes in the back of it's head...

@JoeObbish I am having such fond memories of that speech in my head now.

Microsoft MySQL as a Service will not be confused at all with Microsoft SQL Server as a Service. Right?
They could call it MiSQL

MMSaaS and MSSaaS are completely different acronyms so I don't see how.
latter of course having more sass

TheirSQL?

Q: If Duplicate Only Return Oldest Entry

BellHopByDayAmetuerCoderByNighI need a way to return all data - and if there is a duplication in the data return the oldest entry. I tried to get creative and use the Row_Number() function, but when I run the query it only returns all the data where the database has multiple rows. What I am after is returning all rows, and I...

Q: Easy way to get DB Measurements?

KellyleiaMy senior management would like to have some counts of database objects (databases, tables, rows, stored procedures, etc) to show complexity to the executive committee. Does anyone know of a quick way to get this information? I'm going after system tables to get the info and some use of sp_MSfore...

@MaxVernon I'll ask, no promises though!
21:44
Much appreciated, @Sean
@MaxVernon have a minute?
Can anyone tell me why COUNT(*) is not = 18? dbfiddle.uk/…
22:06
@McNets why should it be 18?
You only have 16 rows in the table ;)
@ypercubeᵀᴹ because I'm idiot
BTW, thank you !
welcome,
