Tom A

@Old_Lamplighter Thanks, I'll go ahead and throw it up on the site with your edits.

Ok, I'll post in meta. if it's ok, I'll copy to main. thanks

I have a question for the experts here. I want to post a question to the main workplace stack, but I don't know if it would be too subjective to ask for keep-in-touch template ideas for emailing employers. thoughts?

A is for my last name as I was tired of getting notifications for every "Tom" on the se sites I frequent

i know. I'll go ahead and fix that issue, and look at the Change Data Capture if it doesn't help. That feels a lot better than my idea of snapshotting the table every 15 minutes and using an outer join to compare tables

and there's probably more, but I haven't had the need to go through some areas of the db

the other crazy thing about this is that I can detect 4 distinct styles of design in this one database :(

and also, I'm not a regular dba, just a solo developer who gets dba duties from time to time

nope, looks like I missed that. However, normally it would only insert or delete one at a time, so I understand how I didn't catch that part.

after delete caused it to crash. after insert worked

meanwhile, the after insert trigger worked fine...

i was surprised myself. I created the trigger as an after delete trigger, and thought it should be ok, as I'm just using it to add an entry to an audit table. We know the software is rather weird, so I can't say it was a complete surprise, but it is annoying

can't. i don't have access to the source code

Does anyone have any ideas on how I can create a trigger without creating a trigger? I need to be able to detect deletes in a SQL Server database, but a trigger on the table causes the application running on the db to crash.

Most people have no idea how much is actually known about them and available to anyone who wants to pay for it

I don't know any rednecks. are you one?

maybe, but it's good pr, and a good reminder that the cops are around to help people

but, on a cheerier note, there's some cool cops in texas giving away turkeys to people they have to pull over for minor traffic violations

probably not. i see enough of my family already. but at least it's not painful, just a little creepy from the lack of her presence.

nope. got to go help clean out grandma's apartment

ready for the weekend, and for it to be over

how goes?

yo ho all

nah, he wanted to have it to do some work on the road. although i'll admit, i didn't think about giving him a linux flash drive to work with in place of Windows

what fun. i've just been asked to break into someone's computer as they can't remember their own password

too quiet around here

see ya

yes, i know. i'm just tired

hmm... univac... one hoover to rule them all?

Ok, I'm back after a break, and understand it now :)

is it a bad thing that I have no idea what you're talking about?

With all the promotion of Edge MS is doing, I can't help but wonder if they're panicking over the market share numbers and not thinking clearly: computerworld.com/article/3137373/web-browsers/…

butter up anything and it'll move fast and slick. doesn't mean its any good though.

what most people don't know is that you can negotiate with hospitals, demand detailed bills, and if they refuse to cooperate then they can get in plenty of trouble. Many times they'll add on extra garbage that doesn't apply or was never used, and need to be held accountable

I'd answer that, but it'd be a fairly long rant, taking up several pages of 8 point type

seemed about as reasonable as possible to me

finances have a lot of emotion attached to them, especially where they shouldn't. I can't say I'm surprised at the question or answers

well, at least the front page is getting interesting again this afternoon

nope, and in january, i get to take even more if I want to as I just hit my 1 year anniversary at the school I work at.

yeah, but at least the assembly, java, and other extras I took helped me understand development better

I did 4 years at community college (took all the extras I could), but had to re-do from my sophomore year on at the 4 year college as the curriculums didn't align.

I never had that problem after the first term of my sophmore year, as that term was a weed-out term

Either way, it sounds like the career counseling job needs to be re-thought and overhauled

I honestly don't know, but am making an "intelligent" guess for what it's worth, so maybe I shouldn't be talking. At my school, we were pushed to be the best we could, within our limits, and many times, we saw our limits were higher than we thought

seems to me that as "counselors" their job is to keep the emotional level up more than directing kids to a good future...

the code is working, i just have a small addition request, and I'm not sure if I can deny it without talking to the boss who's at educon

i wish

though i think i may be going a bit nuts today from having to look at some really weirdly designed code that is starting to resemble the necronomicon

nah, i like to work in the system and question all the logic, not push my luck

no, but i can try my best to hunt them down, can't i?
