Nice SQL Script from Patrick Wright for alerting you that the database size is low.

BBC: "Iran has escaped censure over the failure of its judo world champion to fight an Israeli at the Olympics. The International Judo Federation accepted the disqualification of Arash Miresmaeili came because a medical condition left him too heavy to fight. The federation allowed Miresmaeili's defence that had no pre-planned intention not to fight and noted he had not said he was boycotting the bout. "The IJF has no rule for penalising overweight athletes," the body said. The IJF statement quoted Miresmaeili as saying he had "made no statement of any sort to any press.""

For sure, mathematics is everywhere. In my humble opinion, if you want to code well, and understand things better, you should base your knowledge on mathematics and try modeling things you are thinking of, in the logical way of mathematics. In this way, most of troubles are rubbed out since mathematics is based on facts, not trials.

Jasper Smith: "In this series of articles, I'll demonstrate a couple of different approaches to writing a maintenance utility that mimics some of the behavior of the sqlmaint utility that is included with SQL Server 2000. SQL Server 2005 Express Edition does not include such a utility, so these articles will show how we can easily create one ourselves using either TSQL or SMO (SQL Management Objects - the successor to SQL-DMO). Rather than dive into the code, these articles will demonstrate how to use these utilities for backing up and maintaining your databases and how to schedule these tasks using the Scheduled Tasks facility in Windows XP and Windows 2003. In this article we will concentrate on the TSQL version of the utility which is in the form of a stored procedure - expressmaint." Via Ken Tegels.
