I know you do John...I was just injecting some humor into all this. :) I'm pretty sure most if not all have googled their issues BEFORE actually requesting help from this community. -----Original Message----- From: dba-sqlserver-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:dba-sqlserver-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of jwcolby Sent: Thursday, March 27, 2008 8:52 AM To: 'Discussion concerning MS SQL Server' Subject: Re: [dba-SQLServer] Copy a database using astored procedureorfunction I did Google search and got a bunch of "how to use the wizards" stuff. Google has a lot of good stuff, but you really have to know how to phrase the question or you just get "how to use the wizard" type answers. Believe me Eric, I read my books, and I Google before I ever come here. John W.

What's up with that? :) Me thinks you need "Google Search"...reminds me of what the users wanted for searching a component parts list in our company. When asked what types of searches they conduct they simply said "we want to search on everything". Ya right! They wanted "Google Search" all right. I don't go to BOL either John so don't feel guilty. :) I go to "Google Search". -----Original Message----- From: dba-sqlserver-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:dba-sqlserver-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Elizabeth.J.Doering at wellsfargo.com Sent: Thursday, March 27, 2008 7:12 AM To: dba-sqlserver at databaseadvisors.com Subject: Re: [dba-SQLServer] Copy a database using a stored procedureorfunction I am embarrassed to be held up as any kind of example in this company of experts. I searched BOL for 'copy database', something that I do regularly instead of bringing my simple questions to gurus. I got an answer from BOL in less time than it took JC to formulate his original question. Which, coincidentally, is much much less time than all the combined rants on this topic. Of course, I've found much to learn, even in the rants, which is what is continuously wonderful about this list.

It just shows how little you read from my posts. I have clearly stated that I know nothing. Your response is two pages of stuff that I have no clue what it is and am entirely incapable of understanding, then you state that is only half the solution and it is now time for me to go write the other half. OTOH look at Elizabeth's solution. It apparently works and is compact and readable. And no snotty "now go learn enough to be worthy to be in my presence" comments. Yes, Robert, it was a huge waste of MY time, and probably yours. I have no doubt that you know this stuff, you are just useless to me. It is not my fault that you are useless to me BTW. Take off your Priest robes, roll up your sleeves, get the "tone" out of your voice and write simple code with explanations of what it does and you could be helpful. Until such time, do not bother to respond to my requests for help because you are useless to me, and you are just irritating (apparently your intent). If you want to be treated as the professional that you seem to be, act like it. John W.

I apologize for the "huge waste of everybody's time" (including mine) to give you a good, solid, viable way of solving your problem.
