I love learning new things. I couldn’t help but in a small way feel like Luke Skywalker when he first felt the force. I’ve been trying to get access to a SQL 2008 Server for the longest time, and it’s finally happened. I wrote and published my first SQL [...] I spoke with someone earlier this week who is already using Version 2008 and that started me wondering what versions my readers (both of you lol) are using. If you’re not using at least 2005, feel free to comment as to why not? Which SQL Version are you using? [...] Years ago, I asked one of M2M’s senior technicians why they didn’t simply use a free database system such as MySQL. The reason being that Microsoft’s SQL licensing fees prohibit many of Made2Manage’s customers from migrating. Therefore I reasoned that if M2M had chosen MySQL instead, then by this time nearly everyone would [...] Over the years, one of the issues I’ve repeatedly encountered is the wasted time in changing Ship To Addresses and Ship Dates for multiple line item orders. My last employer made a product commonly sold with new building construction projects. Therefore, they often did not have a Ship To Address because the building [...]
The Bobs – Office Space As I mentioned in my first post I’ve been working as a Made2Manage Administrator for more than 10 years. However, even if you’ve been one of my regular readers, you may not be aware that I’ve also been an independent consultant for the last several years as [...] In the past year I’ve been doing a lot of T-SQL (Transact-SQL) programming. My current employer has required a great deal of it, and I have searched out several people and places on the internet to gain this knowledge. However, as I’ve progressed on this journey I’ve noticed a curious thing. The [...]
A Christmas Story At the time of this writing, the M2M error log is still being kept in a text file, not surprisingly called error.log. I understand that this is probably the most expedient way for M2M to capture it. I suspect it’s a lot easier code-wise to simply append [...] I recently received a call from a company that had “run out” of internal job order numbers.
As an error message, this one is fairly descriptive. However, 9 times out 10 the person who receives it won’t have permissions to modify the numbering system anyway. Some research on M2MExpert [...] Today I was tagged by SQL Ninja Brent Ozar after he was tagged by Chris Shaw for this brief SQL DBA Quiz. His quiz requests that I name two mistakes I’ve made in my career. As someone who celebrates his mistakes, of course I will have to oblige. The title of my post, is [...] I like to think of myself as an alpha geek. Geekiness is something to be respected, enjoyed, and promoted. Let me share some of my “geek cred” with you. For example I…. Learned BASIC on a Radio Shack TRS80 Model 3 and I still have 5.25″ floppies which contain my early programming efforts. |
