Tim Snyder of Rocket was on that team. You can hire him through Rocket to
check out your system. I'm sure it would be well worth it.
This is humorous. I'll assume Drew is a Datatel client. Let's just say
that their code is "less than optimal" in many cases, particularly
course registration. But like any product, anything that has millions
of lines of source code and is 20+ years old (or older, in some cases)
is likely to be inefficient. Likewise, rewriting it from the ground up
isn't going to happen (until Datatel moves everything to MSSQL, but
that's a whole different thread).

My boss has noticed today that we've been running SLOW, and isn't happy
about it. He wants to know if SLOW is industry standard, and what other
U2 shops might be running SLOW.
I told him that I didn't know about other U2 shops, but that I know a lot
of SQL shops have been running SLOW for years, and seem to be very
satisfied. I also let him know that running SLOW on Friday afternoons was
almost industry standard, but I'm not sure he's buying it.
So, if you're running SLOW in your environment, please let me know;
otherwise, we might not be running SLOW on Monday morning.
(sorry...couldn't help myself! Have a good weekend, all!)
