Chris Knight posted:I hate the way excel just silently loses precision past a certain number size, but never throws a warning or anything at you. but will bitch about what it thinks are numbered values stored in a text formatted cell. here's a fun exercise: paste in a large number that would cause excel to display it in SN format the cell to be a text field the cell still displays the SN but if you click the cell the value is displayed correctly and another: paste in a large number with more than two numbers to the right of the decimal point (9999999999999.123456) excel converts it to SN and truncates it to 2 decimal places without warning and there is no getting it back, that precision is gone.

how the gently caress is microsoft so bad at software updating still can't do in app update fetching in ssms, literally tells you there's an update and when you click it opens a browser window to the download then if something halts the update, no option to kill the blocking process and you can only quit the updater. no manually quitting the blocking process and continuing, you have to restart the update process from the beginning.

VS team thinks you will only ever do application first design and that the db wont ever exist without the app. This is totally retarded but its how the VS db tools are designed. They work fine the way they're designed but when you use a db that was designed for data first the vs tools totally poo poo the bed. man, i just want to be able to organize stored procedures into folders, that you can't is just loving stupid
