That guy is pretty much the top expert from the sqlmag forum (and i believe, database journal). I think he got tired of sparring with one particular twit (yes, sqlusa) trying to pass himself as an expert, and signed up here! |

Based upon his recent posting, I think he'll be finding this thread soon.
So Kalman, is Christine A. your wife or a relative of yours?

Christine A. is his daughter (which he readily admitted). I guess he gets a half star for at least admitting that he's a charlatan. |

Thats a lot of info...I love one of the reviewers:
"His phone rings...yet he doesn't edit it out of the video, one would almost think that he would even pick up the phone and answer it during the video..."
Or another:
"He tried the query 3-4 times and decided to drop the PK and FK from the tables just to make it work"
Now thats the way to go!

At least he actually did something there.
Found a review by Anna L. Edsonquote: In the permissions tape he actually had an error, tried to figure it out, then moved on without an explanation or fixing the problem.
