Good to know, Vince, and I gladly stand corrected. MS was not so
generous with the tools in the past.
Wonder why that it.
That's sure going to be a tough price for PostgreSQL to match :)

Of course, and the most expensive is M$. Interestingly I did have a
recent success last year: I got a couple folks fired for recommending MS
SQL-Server - got 0 results for costs expended, And they hadn't even
suggested using an Open Source DB as a starting point for their proof of
concept. Good riddance, the company wins, the company's customers win.
Need to weed out more "so-called experts" in the same way. But I digress...

Of course, you're trying to knock the product, you're an MS-head.
I myself was going to ask if Ken knew for sure that the job used only
MS-SQL. If they're not committed, or at least open-minded, he might make
a good name for himself by suggesting investigating PostgreSQL. As M$
spirals down into death, a lot of companies are looking for
alternatives. It'd be good to be ahead of that curve.
But it is very true that database design is about the biggest
determining factor of a "good" application. I've seen the most horrible
designs created by MS-certified/Oracle-certified folks (in MS-SQL and
Oracle). Recently I gen'd up a VFP app for team in a few days, using VFP
dbfs, and they were stunned (software dev is not the role I'm currently
filling). Showed them good uses of relational integrity, triggers,
stored procedures, blah blah blah. Incredible, just incredible, the
level of stupidity in the computer industry today. But at least they
know MS-SQL server! ROFLMAO.
