Okay so maybe hate is a harsh word, but how about severely dislike instead? We moved over the blogs to a more private SQL server and in the process had to reattach some things. My SQL server knowledge is about a -5 on a scale of 1 to 10 so if you were wondering why the blogs were offline so long it’s because I had no clue in how to fix it and Google wasn’t the most informative tool for someone who has no clue of the right question to ask. Thanks to fellow MVP Brian Desmond who got things fixed up in less than 2 minutes [a severely humbling experience I might add].
It’s been a long time since I felt in that ‘helpless I have no clue’ state. Right now that’s the problem I have with bothSQL server and Sharepoint. They are a bit outside my comfort level. I use Sharepoint but I don’t feel like I know it. Of course there are times that I’m not sure I truly know Exchange either, but at least enough to set up smarthost entries and what not.
Okay any SQL gurus out there? So what SQL books would you steer a SQL newbie to? It seems like SQL is the future [or something like it] for data file storage and I don’t feel confortable with it at all right now.

I was wondering why her blog was offline. She is a smart gal with lots of good advice so it is not hard to see why she is frustrated. At this time I share her concern that Sharepoint and SQL Server are a bit out of my comfort level but I do believe this will pass in time as we use it more and find new ways to break it. Although Community server looks like a potential contender, I am much more comfortable with WordPress.
