Mark Brown just about nailed it. One of my coworkers wrote a blog post called "Free Beer and Porn for Life" to see how many blog posts he'd get. I said nah, people aren't searching for that - I'll show you what they're really searching for.Mark Brown said:Yes, curious. I titilating headline sure to bring in the ABM crowd yet a conclusion that he indeed likes it albeit with a few pet peeves. Not unheard of
I meant what I said in the post, though - there's a lot about SQL 2008 that does indeed suck, things that will surprise the DBA when it's time to get down to business. It's almost as if they're building in features just to say they've got 'em (to fend off Oracle), but they're not making it easy for DBAs to use those features. I'm already cringing at the next big support problem: DBAs who used transparent data encryption to back up their databases, then the server crashed and they didn't realize they had to back up the certificate file.
WiseMX - I'm curious - when you say it rocks in conjunction with IIS7, what specifically makes it rock that you didn't already have in SQL 2005?
