Today is full of good

Today is full of good news. On the SQL front, with a bit of shell scripting and some interesting uses of transformations within a DTS package, we have customers in our database. Many of them with strange names, but customers none the less. Now it's time to start scripting transactions, both to create new orders and to add to our inventory.As a bonus, a grumpy delivery man brought some huge boxes with hardware in them today. Just for the application lab. Maybe it's just me, but have 2U rack mount servers gotten excessively heavy in the past few years? Now we just need the racks to put them in and we can start installing software. w00t!
