PersonResponsible
-
Today I had occasion to create a property called 'PersonResponsible'. It struck me as such a nice if quaint idea. People being responsible for stuff. Remember that? -Rd
Sadly, in many organisations you could equally well implement it as a property named "ConvenientScapegoat". :~

personResponsibleId in the database is allowed to be null.

I remember very well, every day! There aren't many recognised job titles that are recognised under law as having responsibility, let alone where the individual has to be registered. We do stress very well![^] The formal assessment required as part of obtaining the position was the most stressful thing I have ever done in my life to date!

SET IDENTITY_INSERT TableOfTasks ON
INSERT INTO TableOfTasks(PersonResponsibleID, ...) VALUES(-1, ...)
SET IDENTITY_INSERT TableOfTasks OFFPeople always find a way to dodge responsibility. EDIT: Now that I think about it, only TableOfTasks.TaskID would be likely to be an identity column. Would be interesting if the person responsible got automatically assigned using some auto-incrementing number. New version below:
UPDATE TableOfTasks SET PersonResponsibleID = -1 WHERE PersonResponsibleID = @MyID
There we go. That should dodge responsibility nicely. :rolleyes:

I thought it could only be set to null.

Well I never! It should be referred to as "maturity". ;)

Me too, sometimes. "Responsible Person" in terms of regulations enacted under some Act of Parliament. I'm a volunteer member of the Rural Fire Service, a State government body. When I put on my Aviation Radio Operator hat, I'm operating under federal legislation that authorises me to use aviation band radio "for firefighting and related purposes". One of the tasks is to check and record, at least every half hour, that every aircraft on my patch is alive and well, along with its occupants. At the end of the day, I scrawl my name and autograph at the bottom of the page where it says "Name of Responsible Person" and "Signature of Responsible Person". Normally, the form winds up in a file somewhere, but if there's any kind of incident at all involving an aircraft, that form is one of the first things the investigators go for, along with our radio logs. There is a well-defined list of things to do when an aircraft is 5, 10, 15 minutes overdue, but routine radio calls come fairly low on the chopper pilot's priority list when he's carrying a bucket with 1500 litres of water through smoke to some fire front he can't see and trying to guess where the other choppers are. So we cut them a few minutes slack. I got the phone call from hell on my second day of ARO duty. "Hi, State Air Desk here. Have you lost one?" I had to do a three day course to get the ARO qualification, and I not only have to redo it to recertify every five years, but I must maintain "currency" - using the skills for real or in a live exercise - every 14 months.
