Re: why>?


a good chunk of time?

maybe 20 minutes a week?

you xls baby
you mdb baby

need to grow up before you get stuck with thinking that it's ok.

there is a window of opportunity to save these sheep-- that you are
leading to slaughter-- and im not going to sit idly by while microsoft
loses every war they fight.

excel is for babies.

MDB is better than Excel any day of the week. but experienced MDB
people need to grow into Access Data Projects. it is ridiculous to not
grow.

you guys are stuck on the first rung of the technology ladder

i give plenty of technical advice

my technical advice is 'spit on people who use excel and learn a real
program'

im sorry you see that as political or religous advice
I see it as technical advice for technical babies

im a drunk??

i dont drink at all; thanks.

i give plenty of help
just because you don't like my technical description of '*** microsoft
excel and *** financial analysts and *** people sitting around
playing in excel all day'

WE WILL AUTOMATE YOU OUT OF A JOB.
WE -- RDBMS Engineers-- Have been doing it already for 10 years.

there are plenty of commercial products out there; if you would rather
spend 10,000 on a commercial program-- written to use SQL Server-- than
pay a half dozen beancounters for a month to do the same thing-- I
highly reccomend that people stop choosing the route of Microsoft
Excel.

Just cut it off and hire a couple of database developers.

Database Administration isn't a fulltime job.

but the fact of the matter is that you can do your business
calculations in one place or a hundred different places.

you can do your formulas 'once per cell' or 'once per query'

you can copy and paste for all i fucking care.
but it's not the most efficient way to do anything.

We've got builders and we've got a whole 104-key keyboard.

you idiots only use 3 keys on the keyboad CTRL+C and CTRL+V

I just think that it's a travesty.
The biggest waste of labor hours ever concieved.

Worse that Internet Explorer; worse than Solitaire.

Microsoft Excel is a dead end street and you lazy assholes need to
learn a real program.

***; learn a couple real programs.
You'll never go back.

Yes. You claim to know a lot, but you seldom if ever respond with
detailed solutions. If you actually do know anything, since you seem to
spend a good chunk of times posting to newsgroups, why not answer some
questions as a diversion from ranting? To be fair, in dbms ngs you
provide some details in about 10% of your postings. The other 90% fall
into the 'you MDB baby' variety.

Increase your signal to noise ratio, and people may take you seriously.
As it is, you're just the loud, belligerent neighborhood drunk.
