Bad things to hear from your DBA

It’s not good to hear your DBA ‘guru’ answer “Good question” when he’s been working for 2 months creating insert and update DTS packages for your application and you ask him “How can you tell if you are supposed to insert or update a given record in the source table?”.

Especially when NOT being able to tell the difference would result in over 500K duplicate inserts every day. (especially when the reason you’ve asked him that question is because you noticed his DTS package would result in the 500K dupe inserts/day).

grrrrrrrrrr
