Voted for you.

 

Let me know the best way to hack the voting system and guarantee your victory.  I only code C# and can’t figure out how to do it.  J

I don't believe hacking the system is necessary, but I appreciate the sentiment.  ;-)

Thanks for the vote though!

I just configured a Visual Studio Team System web test under load from 12 different agents. My guess is that you should be getting about 10750 votes/second.

 

… wait, someone’s knocking on my door.

A couple of days ago I sent my boss an email about Microsoft's new try at desktop Business Intelligence software.

They will be rolling this out with Office 2010. To use this software you need SQL Server 2008 R2 - currently we are running 2005 SP2. So then by my boss asks me if our software will run on SQL Server 2008? I think so, but I don't really know.
 
So my question to you guys is - have any of you run into any difficulties in upgrading from SQL Server 2005, to 2008? Are there things that worked in 2005, but had to be modified to work in 2008?

I had several applications which used registered DLL’s running within SQL 2005.  They resided in SQL Servers “Binn“ folder.  That option became unavailable in SQL 2008.  I had to rewrite/replace the DLL’s using the CLR.  While this was not difficult it did pose a unexpected item.

 

Other than that item the migration was painless.

[MICHAEL CLINE]

Thanks - I don't think we are using any custom dlls - but we are using an app which might be using something I am not aware of. So thanks for the caution.
 
Someone else suggested I use the upgrad advisor to catch problems. I think I may give that a try.
