Should You Change SQL Server System Database Collations for Better Performance?

Introduction Have you ever wondered if the collation of your user databases and system databases in SQL Server could impact performance? As a database administrator, I’ve grappled with this question myself. In this article, I’ll share what I’ve learned about collations, how they affect queries, and whether it’s a good idea to change system database collations to match user databases. By the end,…

this series is creating a bit of a stu/connor agenda for me i can’t lie

im a bit torn on this because like a goalie and his captain is so freaking sacred bc when the team's losing it falls on the goalie despite the players in front of him and when the team's losing the captain has to answer for it and goalie's the lonliest position and captain's at the top and even tho they have thier backup s and their alts theyre the ones w that responsibilty and despite it all a captain trusts his goalie in net and the goalie trusts his captain and stu adn connor love and trust each other so infinitly connor saying again and again that stu's thier guy and they trust him and stu saying how connor's always in his corner and always has faith in him Like it trancends romance it's trust built on faith and belief and knowing what eachother is like at their best and trusting them to deliver and still being there still when they dont because you have a bone-deep belief that they will next time and connor's belief in that lockerroom got them to the damn finals and like for all of connor's general inability to hide his misery to the media he never ever throws his teammates under the bus and he was always at the frontline of stu's defence and he's always telling everyone how much he trusts him likeeeeeee on one hand its nearly a found brothers type situation and on the other . connor hugs two people on the ice post game and one of them he got soulbonded to as a teenager and the other is stuart freaking skinner and connor letting him win CONNOR DIDN'T LET C.PERRY'S 6 YEAR OLD KID WINNNNN connor who didn't play card games with his brother growing up because he was so scared to lose . lets stuart skinner win on the plan e. also stu saying 'connor's a big boy i dont have to look after him he's probably stronger than me. no that's not true i am much much stronger than him' 😵‍💫

"The thing is, he himself is eminently temptable" - the truest words ever spoken about Aziraphale

Oh, I totally forgot that the book gives us an actual year that Crowley and Aziraphale start their Arrangement, but it's 1020 which fits in with the show's timeline too. It makes me smile to think about. Aziraphale pretends to be scandalised by Crowley suggesting they cover for each other but by the time we see them in the Globe Theatre, they've been doing this for almost 600 years.

There is a very real danger of our drifting into an attitude of contempt for humanity. We know quite well that we have no right to do so, and that it would lead us into the most sterile relation to our fellow-man. The following thoughts may keep us from such a temptation. It means that we at once fall into the worst blunders of our opponents. The man who despises another will never be able to make anything of him. Nothing that we despise in the other man is entirely absent from ourselves. We often expect from others more than we are willing to do ourselves. Why have we hitherto thought so intemperately about man and his frailty and temptability? We must learn to regard people less in the light of what they do or omit to do, and more in the light of what they suffer. The only profitable relationship to others – and especially to our weaker brethren – is one of love, and that means the will to hold fellowship with them. God himself did not despise humanity, but became man for men’s sake

Writing Patterns

Rules: Share the opening of your last ten published works or as many as you are able and see if there are any patterns!

Thank you for the tag @tryan-a-bex!!

Going from oldest to most recent because I had already scrolled back ten fics to count them off, and I don’t feel like scrolling back up to the top again lol

10. i am singing now while rome burns

What power would Hell have if those here imprisoned were not able to dream of Heaven?

The Dream Lord’s words still pounding within her head, Mazikeen watches as he strides out of the palace, satisfaction burning from each line of his body, bright even among the fires of Hell. Defeat stings all along Mazikeen’s skin.

9. the boy in his deathless arms

The first stormclouds roll in at dusk.

Eyes narrowed against the rising wind, Dream stares at the horizon. He stands up and brushes the grass and dust from his robes. “Orpheus,” he calls. “Come to me.”

8. sister, hold me close (us despite it all)

The heat wraps itself round Calliope’s shoulders, soft and downy against her skin. In time, she knows it will become the irritation she remembers it being, but for the time being it feels like it is welcoming her back.

7. come my way and stay, my honey

In hindsight, Lucienne will reflect, it couldn’t have happened in any place but her library.

It wasn’t a spectacular, radiant revelation, descending on her head like a ball of fire. It was like waking to the sunrise resting gentle hands on your windowpane.

6. rip my ribcage open and devour what’s truly yours

“I’m still angry,” Crowley hisses against Aziraphale’s mouth. “This doesn’t mean I’m okay with what you did, and it doesn’t mean I for—fuck,” and he can’t say it, he cannot say that word, not now and not here and not with Aziraphale. He drops his forehead against Aziraphale’s collarbone, his breath coming in harsh gasps.

5. united in kiss and weep

“Gault—Gault—”

“Shhh.” Gault presses a kiss against Lucienne’s spine, and the other woman arches back into the touch. Lucienne’s shoulder blades shine with sweat. Gault trails her free hand over the slick skin, thinking about the wings Lucienne always has when Gault pictures her in her mind’s eye.

4. fly you high

A beeswax candle. A brass candle holder carved in the shape of a tree. A sprig of fragrant jasmine. This is what Lucienne lays on the small round table in her chambers.

Once they’re arranged precisely so, Lucienne lights the candle and takes a seat. She’s careful, but the squeal of chair legs against the floorboards still makes her flinch. She watches the curl of smoke as the delicate scent of the beeswax settles deep into her lungs.

3. Suffer Love

Proper paperwork didn’t catch on in Hell until the twentieth century, but once it did it seized the bit in its teeth and exploded down the racetrack.

Luckily, by that time, the demon Crowley had already pretty well worked out his excuses regarding the Arrangement. He could write it off as an encouragement of Sloth, for example. Even better that it was that of an angel, the—pardon his French—god-tier of temptable beings; what other demon could claim that? It made him feel a little smug, really.

2. i’ll be your friend, i will love you so deeply

“You’re brooding, Lucienne.”

Jerked from her reverie, Lucienne blinks and refocuses on Dream as they pace side by side en route to the throne room. “Oh—it’s nothing, my lord.”

“There is no ‘nothing’ where you are concerned.”

Lucienne knows a compliment when she hears one, and she smiles slightly. “Well, it’s maudlin, at least.”

1. todas tus luces (all your lights)

Calliope was still humming as she and Gault walked down the rain-slick street away from the school, Calliope holding an umbrella over the two of them.

“It’s catchy, isn’t it?” Gault said, sounding amused. “Isaac’s dreams have been full of the soundtrack for weeks.”

As for patterns…I don’t think I see one? If anyone spots one, feel free to comment on it! There’s a good mix here, I think. Dialogue; atmospheric details; musings out of the direct action (#7 and #3). I don’t find beginnings as difficult as most other parts of the writing process.

I think my favorite opening out of these is #9, “the boy in his deathless arms.” Because for Dream and Calliope, they’ve felt that storm building ever since they found out their son was/was going to be mortal. They always knew they would outlive him. And that fic is just chock full of foreshadowing, so I think starting it off with a line about storm clouds works well.

I’m also extremely fond of the second paragraph of #7!

devil on my shoulder telling me to get clothes my f/o would wear in a size too big and i am nothing if not temptable and reckless

[rpcburnbook]

Yes, YOU as an individual may not be interested in writing queer ships... If half the rpc was queer, you would simply expect more queer ships. // failure to consider that some of us sapphics may use rp as a safe way to express and explore our masculinity while still wanting to write against women who we are attracted to // I think you're missing the OP's point. There's a million reasons why any given sapphic writer might not want to write sapphic ships. But there's also a million different reasons why any given hetero writer might not want to write a hetero ship. Yet, there's no shortage of hetero ships because the demand for writing them is super high. They're asking why the demand for sapphic ships is so low when, in theory, so many people should at least be temptable into taking them.

Using Temporary Tables (#TempTable) in T-SQL Server

Mastering Temporary Tables (#TempTable) in T-SQL Server: Creation, Usage, and Best Practices Hello, fellow SQL enthusiasts! In this blog post, I will introduce you to Temporary Tables in T-SQL Server – one of the most essential and versatile features in T-SQL Server: temporary tables (#TempTable). Temporary tables allow you to store and manipulate intermediate data during query execution. They…

[fairymint]

💕: how does my muse express their feelings? do they do through small but meaningful gestures, or through bold declarations?

small gestures is definitely the name of the game here, but the intensity of the conscious intent is what matters; All my muses body language™️ at others a lot, but some know they're doing it and some don't. Not a lot of my muses are materialistic, but if it might work, small gifts might be the kind. (Except perhaps for Magnus, despite the fact that I don't know these kinds of gifts myself- lmao)

Zivan himself is somewhere in between this level of emotional intelligence, but he can only physically express one emotion at a time. Though, when closer with someone, or to cheat, will share his emotions point blank- they can be beamed or flow directly into you. (thoughts and mind as well, but that's even deeper.)

So, if need be, he can share complex emotions directly instead of trying to verbally. But, he's also a cuddler, enjoys listening to breathing and heartbeats as primally as any human.

Felix tends to willfully make himself expressive; words, tone, small body language signs of ease and invitation. This depends customly on the person involved; the more he knows, the more is taken advantage of in regards to what they're receptive to. A small one may be trying to make someone laugh or be amused though, a certain brand of silly that is almost inside-joke level!

Small and meaningful is normal, safe, but also bait. Large and bold is also used, but more as the hook to make a point that it's serious!

but, when it comes to reflex, he has no choice; his body is going to react honestly.

Shaking speech, trembling, and signs of submission in anticipation near a dominant crush. Gazing and tensing, and posturing for submissive one; all physical subconscious attempts to look appealing, vulnerable, or temptable depending on the situation. To oversimplify, at times his body reacts sexually and gives signs that it's prepared for it at any time. Or in the case of aspec relationships and crushes, the romantic or qpp equivilent- touch starved.

The Performance Trade-offs Between SELECT * INTO and SELECT THEN INSERT in T-SQL

In the realm of SQL Server development, understanding the intricacies of query optimization can drastically impact the performance of your applications. A common scenario that developers encounter involves deciding between using SELECT * INTO to create and populate a temporary table at the beginning of a stored procedure versus first creating a temp table and then populating it with a SELECT…

I HAVE THOUGHTS

Crowley enjoys slinking around like sex on legs in great part because he is demisexual; he is able to exert power over others while knowing that he is at absolutely zero risk of succumbing to their attempted flirtations because yes, he has eyes for exactly one being in this universe. He knows these two things are linked, and he's not worried about it.

MEANWHILE

Aziraphale is terrified of his own sexuality. He doesn't understand himself as demisexual. He is love with Crowley and love is Good but he also feels lust for Crowley is lust is Bad so he conceptually understands these as two separate things, wherein one can exist without the other.

So perhaps his clothing being out of style, his mannerisms being just a little off, all of this is designed to keep sexual attention at arm's length because he is afraid that if someone flirted with him, he might just give in to temptation - and he knows he is very temptable, look how easy it is for Crowley to do it to him.

I like to think of Crowley as a demisexual virgin. Like, obviously he appears on the surface to be sex on legs. He's the epitome of tall, dark and handsome. Plus, he's got that goddamn walk... And you know he's definitely had occasion. It would be nearly impossible for him to not have been propositioned at least once in 6,000 years, given his job.

Most of his existence has been spent in places where 'sin' breeds. Bars, bathhouses and brothels, just for a start, and we've seen that (at the very least) human women are attracted to him. (I.e. Nazi spy lady and also Mrs. Sandwich) But absolutely nothing can convince me that he has ever even considered sleeping with anyone who has propositioned him.

We all know he has a secret very romantic streak and I think that for him sensuality is likely very tied into that. The one person he's ever loved has been sitting to his right for millennia and if you think for one second that he'd want that sort of intimacy with anyone else, I'd say you're wrong. Who needs a one night stand when you can spend the evening drinking wine with your angel? However, if things between he and Aziraphale were to heat up, I'm certain that the eroticism that has eluded him for his entire existence would hit him and vavoom, it would all start to make sense. Also, this look?

[callibones]

this is what i mean about lesbian relationships giving the amulet ur number btw. im very temptable but all the riches of heaven pale in comparison to the amulet saying i could smite anyone that would ever stop my radiant girlfriends from smiling

when i was a kid i thought stories where people would burn the whole world down for love were stupid and irresponsible and then i tried true love exactly once and i get it. i understand. i would alter fundamental tenets of our reality if it meant my girlfriends could have a better day. i would take up a sword and abandon every other principle i have to defend them. i would do all that walter white shit except ACTUALLY for this family. this family being the polycule

Inserting Stored Procedure Results into Temporary Tables in SQL Server

To insert the results of a stored procedure into a temporary table in SQL Server, you can follow these steps. The specific method you use might depend on the structure of the data returned by the stored procedure and whether you are using SQL Server to create the temporary table or it already exists. If the Temporary Table Does Not Exist You can use the INSERT INTO ... EXEC command to insert…

[terminus11]

Actually I lied. Caleb might have gotten turned anyways. But that's bc he was doing shit before he even Knew Reynolds and is probably the most temptable by that existence.

fdwr is really cool bc the main villain shows affection that does not purely benefit himself to the 2nd main villain one time in the 1850s and it irreparably made the timeline a billion times worse for 4 college-aged people in the 1930s
