Middle of the Road SuxZass.
Back to online babemagneting for me.
New features in our database going into production phase 2 and final this week. Watch for the fabric of the universe to be torn asunder. Either way. My role in this install is to be the sensible voice of reason in bringing forth valuable new features available to my company, which we have already paid for. And making sure we have tested their ass off. But yet, there are those that refuse all test results, and even the format of said test results. It pains me greatly because I have the greatest respect for this guy. But once it's thoroughly tested, both in terms of query and utility performance, it's time to go with it. Those standing in front of that speeding locomotive tend to get flattened. If said locomotive is full of shit, then standing in front of it is a noble, futile gesture. If said locomotive is full of valid and important test results, we have no excuse for standing in front of it. But doing so will provide plenty of excuses for going to another technology.
So far query performance is not impacted. As forecast. So let's bag the Post Hoc Ergo Propter Hoc arguments.
Nor do I condone blathermouthing new features as the greatest thing since sex (with me) prior to testing. And don't ride your hog through the Operations Center.
Being the voice of reason sucks.
