there, even a little 3D for you
 
Wow.
 
Yeah
 
Well done
 
1:01 PM
this might be the most praise @Lamak has ever received for anything
 
yeah, no one even noticed when he had a kid
 
1:18 PM
 
@PaulWhite you might be right
@PaulWhite damn
 
lol, took me a while, but now i see what you did there.
 
1:40 PM
@Lamak nice one! What tool did you use to make it?
 
@ypercubeᵀᴹ the only photo editing tool that I know how to use
powerpoint
 
2:20 PM
@Lamak lol
 
2:59 PM
@Lamak ok buddy
I'll use it for a bit
 
sounds like a good decision
 
now I really don't want to do it
 
3:17 PM
not everything is about what you want
 
3:30 PM
did it update yet?
 
only when I look at your profile so far
 
I blame Lamak
 
it's always Lamak's fault, but in this case, since the graphic is from PowerPoint, I'll let it slide
 
shouldn't we blame cache?
 
3:51 PM
Just parent user.
Although it is glorious.

Q: How to send Email once Load is completed with date/Indicator in sql server

user170767Confirm the Load complete date/Indicator to all tech team by using Sql server

.....
Excellent it's been put on hold.
 
@Zane cough collusion
 
no collusion
test
we did it
all I had to do to set the avatar to update was to type "no collusion"
 
4:20 PM
why can't query store just work?
 
4:53 PM
The amount of times I run into this. "by clicking yes you agree that you're properly licensed to use this feature" Then I get to go to Oracle supports site and see if that's in the list of features we're being tagged for. It's so much fun.
It's constant and infuriating.
The constant nickle and dimeing Lexus and Cadillacing that this company does is ridiculous.
Ahhhh strikethrough doesn't work in chat?!
 
nope
 
It's just different for some reason.
 
probably an ANSI setting somewhere
 
 
2 hours later…
6:37 PM
Confirmed: @JoeObbish follows trends set by others
I'm not okay with Joe's avatar changing
it was the one constant in my life
 
Get with the times man. Laser beams are the hit new thing?
 
Was that a statement or a question?
 
both
 
6:54 PM
I wan't frickin' lasers in my avatar.
 
I just want a handsome man for my avatar... oh wait already have that.
 
this guy
 
<------ THIS GUY
<--|
<--| RIGHT HERE

has no sway with microsoft recruiting whatsoever
 
I think I'll make a gif like this for my avatar
lol
 
7:04 PM
The Infinite Hoff... you never go full Hoff.
 
ok, that's got to go, lol. toooo much Hoff.
phew
funny that I was able to whip that out so quickly
 
whip that out...
 
I think I accidentally threw in that question mark because someone was asking me a question as a typed that.
My brain tends to do things like that.
 
@SeanGallardy less QQ more pew pew
 
7:12 PM
@Forrest I know. :-D
 
like lasers
@ErikDarling all three links don't work
 
new conspiracy theory: people are setting up sales calls to keep me out of the gym so they can get a squat rack
 
@MaxVernon that can be done

7:27 PM
SWEEEEET
 
lama you truly missed your calling
 
I'm starting to realize that
 
I finally understand the MVP designation
 
@JoeObbish that's just because I'm from a 3rd world country man
they haven't seen my creations yet
 
Lamak can accomplish literally anything with powerpoint
 
7:36 PM
@JoeObbish I'm running my queries there
 
@Zane before you ask me. After a week of migrating, I have only moved about 1.5TB of data
 
so like
32 to go?
 
it'll be done in time for summer
 
@Taryn still a ways to go.
 
a lot to go
 
7:44 PM
i don't know why "in time of summer" is making me laugh so hard
maybe picturing joe as an indian chief
 
Sounds like it will finish in about the same as my Oracle Primavera migrate tool will move this 20 gig DB over. lol
 
can't you do it faster manually?
 
@ErikDarling The problem is the upgrade scripts that convert it to the Prima 18.8 database structure doesn't work.
 
@ErikDarling you don't know my heritage
 
I've tried a backup and then update the code but the code they give doesn't work.
I have a few other methods of moving this I'm just trying this because it's their recommended tool and my backup/restore plan all sorts of didn't work.
 
7:47 PM
@JoeObbish that will probably be the same time I figure out how to do our OS upgrades on our main servers
 
@JoeObbish are you willing to share?
 
@ErikDarling Works now FYI.
 
@ErikDarling no
 
@jadarnel27 thanks
@JoeObbish lame
 
@ErikDarling says the guy watching 0 winter animus
I am infinitely more cool than you
 
7:54 PM
plus, you are 3D
 
just because i don't have a crunchwrap account doesn't mean i'm at 0 animemes
 
@ErikDarling you don't get credit for animus that you're too ashamed to admit that you watch
 
i'm starting to worry that i won't find a goth enough anime
 
8:15 PM
Apparently the top goth anime is Black Butler.
Surprisingly I've seen some of the things on this goth anime list.
 
8:45 PM
if wanted to get ahold of a SQL 2000 instance for NOLOCK testing, how would I go about it?
 
@Forrest a time machine would be nice
 
I'm sure I had a cardboard box around somewhere...
 
@Forrest I know that @MaxVernon has access to some.
 
@MaxVernon Hey buddy hey pal...
 
what test do you want to do?
 
8:50 PM
I know someone who says that NOLOCK made a significant difference back in SQL 2000 days
I'm really curious if there's overhead to seeks there
 
lol, sounds like they're looking to lose that argument. I don't doubt if you had blocking going on, and you implemented NOLOCK that you might think it helped a lot.
especially back in the 2000 days... probably made a really big difference to them.
if you have a script you want me to run, I can probably arrange that.
 
let me whip one out
 
'scuse me while I whip this out
:-D Blazing Saddles
 
9:12 PM
time to figure out posting code in chat...I think I have something that might work in SQL 2000
--create table and load it
CREATE TABLE dbo.Nolockontedere (
ID INT IDENTITY PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED,
junk CHAR(1) NOT NULL)
GO

INSERT dbo.Nolockontedere (junk)
SELECT TOP 1000000 'a' AS junk
FROM master.dbo.spt_values a
CROSS JOIN master.dbo.spt_values b
GO



--Now, run a loop
DECLARE @dt DATETIME
SET @dt = DATEADD(SECOND,10,GETDATE())
DECLARE @counter INT
SET @counter = 0
DECLARE @trash int

WHILE GETDATE() < @dt
BEGIN

SELECT @trash = ID
FROM dbo.Nolockontedere
WHERE ID = CONVERT(INT,RAND()*1000000)
I give up
 
@ErikDarling Closed as won't fix.
 
@SeanGallardy Microsoft recommends that you should take SUs early and often!

Been crazy busy all day, any good questions today?
 
9:23 PM
> not posting the link
 
9:39 PM
@SeanGallardy top microsoft man--
@Forrest I have the install media if you want it
 
@SeanGallardy I'd like to report a SQL Server 2000 licensing violation
how do I do that?
 
@Forrest the code does work. Results are... #1 -> 1679032 #2 -> 1786382
That's SQL Server v8.0.2305 btw
 
@MaxVernon I was 12
 
10:09 PM
@JoeObbish I was 32 :-(

Q: How to store/organize all of these scripts?

brandonI am about 10 months in to my DBA role and I am already accumulating quite the collection of scripts. Does anyone have any best practices or recommendations on how to store all of these scripts? I manage about 70 instances of SQL server and am looking for a way to have quick access to all of thes...

 
@MaxVernon Sweet! Thanks a million!
@ErikDarling I have to admit...I'm actually interested
 
hang on
 
10:41 PM
@JoeObbish TL;DR: If you're running SQL 2000, you are your own violation.
 
🚨🚨🚨=🚨🚨🚨
 
check out this NARC who is likely descended from war criminals
 
@ErikDarling Truth
