777

I am working on a project to provide some people with information about the main database we use at my job. Just used this query to get all table names:
SELECT
name
FROM sys.Tables
WHERE
type_desc = 'USER_TABLE'
ORDER BY
name ASCLooked at the row count and noticed there are exactly 777 tables. :-D

It's the little things that brighten our day. :) What if the count had been 666? Would you be amused or terrified?

That's just perfect. :) I was checking out why one of my machines was running so slowly this morning, just noticed the RAM speed was saying 666Mhz (shouldn't that be 667?) and then after it booted up and I started Visual Studio and Task Manager there were 66 processes running and even though none of them seemed to be doing anything the processor usage was stubbornly bobbing around 65 ( could that be 66% ). It looks like the new memory I put in 4 months ago has failed and it's back to 1GB. Maybe I should just edit the badge on the front of the box from Dell to Hell.

Amused. My mom told me a story from when I was really young. Apparently, I was freaking this guy out by staring at him non-stop, without saying a word. When my mom told him part of my social security number is "666", he literally ran away. :)

Sounds about right for a Dell. My work computer (a Dell) only had 4GB of RAM, so I requested an extra 8GB. It arrived, but it didn't work, because this computer requires a very specific kind of RAM, so the RAM had to be returned and ordered again. Once the new RAM arrived, we found that it couldn't be used in combination with the existing RAM, because all of the RAM sticks must be of exactly the same size (even though there is this weird riser that allows like 16 RAM sticks to be added). So, I ended up with only 8GB instead of 12GB. And the best part is that this RAM, which was ordered within the last year, was about $300-$400. Looking at NewEgg, I can get 32GB of ECC RAM for that price (so long as it isn't some Dell proprietary nonsense). :|

Of course! It's a bit like the either/or and neither/nor pairings, or the "ne ... pas" in French.

Actually, it is "ohs no" using the same grammar rule as "court martial" is pluralised as "courts martial" or "director general" is "directors general". :-D

Did your database start ringing bells and spitting out coins at that point?

Yes. You can have a run away train, and you can run away from responsibilities, neither of which involve leg locomotion. :)

Well, with "locomotion" being part Spanish ("loco" meaning "crazy") and part English ("motion" being movement), it seems fair to conclude that, being that much more freaked out, he ran away with legs going crazy!
This sentence is a lie.

Seems like a bit of a stretch. Do you have some sort of loco motive?
