Round 7 Edit
Charlie will be very angry and short-tempered after having most of her team captured. Don't expect pity or mercy from her at the moment. Other than bad temper, she'll have withdrawn into herself leaving only a cold, calculating and angry self.
She also has a laptop which she is practically attached to. Usually she's doing something on it but occasionally she puts it away (tends to keep it in her bag). You can see the laptop and bag here until I actually redo them on the app:
Colour Codes for Body
- Eyes: #ddc10c
- Hair Base: #9f2800
- Hair Highlights: #b74100
- Skin: #e9c297
Although she has travelled far and caught many different pokemon she prefers to only battle with those found naturally within the Kanto region as she is most familiar with them.
Lyra: She never goes inside of pokeball, not because she cant or wont, Charlie respects her too much to recall her.
Species: Ninetales (Shiny)
Sex: Female
Ability: Flash Fire
Nature: Naughty
Hold Item: Quick Claw
Battle Style: Tactical and mostly special moves. Prefers to limit amount of physical contact with opponent and uses a wide range of moves. Her only egg move is Energy Ball.
Athletic Stat: Speed
Contest Stat: Smart
Location Caught: Gift
Other Info:
Lyra was given to Charlie as a seventh birthday present in the form of an egg which hatched into a vulpix. After a few years of training they stumbled upon a cracked firestone which caused Lyra to evolve with a few side effects. The dominant one is that she still has the sock markings of a vulpix which never completely faded away.
The best word to describe this pokemon is naughty. She can be quiet and innocent when she gets in trouble but only after she caused the trouble. While not nasty outright she does like to play pranks or scare the other pokemon for fun. In saying that she loves to play games much like an immature vulpix (Charlie loves to say that's one of the side effects) but she is sharp and witty, much like a more expressive Charlie. Her battling experience means she is no easy one to beat and is the preferred option.
Note: Larger than normal
Species: Pidgeot
Sex: Male
Ability: Tangled Feet
Nature: Jolly
Hold Item: Razor Claw
Battle Style: Largely physical-based aerial moves but will use any move that shows him off. Egg moves are Brave Bird and Pursuit.
Athletic Stat: Speed
Contest Stat: Beauty
Location Caught: Route 1
Other Info:
Ruuqu was the first pokemon she caught after she left Murcott and entered Kanto. While he is rather jolly he is also a bit arrogant and vain, much like a king. He may be all fun and games but pick on his appearance of undermine is authority or experience and he will get his revenge however long it takes.
Note: Larger than normal
Species: Palla
Sex: Female
Ability: Shed Skin
Nature: Calm
Hold Item: Dragon Fang
Battle Style: Defensive and usually drawn-out. Uses her stamina to tire the opponent with a hard, last strike.
Athletic Stat: Stamina
Contest Stat: Cute
Location Caught: Dragon's Den
Other Info:
Palla is the mother figure of the group and although she was caught after Charlie had assembled a team she was granted a place because of her larger than normal size. As a dratini she was mothered a lot by Lyra and once she evolved and grew even more in size she naturally looked after the rest with her calm nature. When the others are in trouble she calmly intervenes and will listen to their woes with compassion.
She is hard to anger and even harder is to make her dislike you. She doesn't like battling and tends to be sorrowful about it but this doesn't affect her determination to succeed and will be ruthless if need be.
Note: I have written Murcott Is. as bulbapedia states that Scythers were seen on the island so an assumption is they can be caught too.
Species: Scyther
Sex: Male
Ability: Swarm
Nature: Adamant
Hold Item: Black Belt
Battle Style: Fast, mixed moves. Extremely offensive. Egg move is X-Scissor
Athletic Stat: Skill
Contest Stat: Smart
Location Caught: Murcott Is.
Other Info:
Dante, rather than be caught, discovered Charlie while she was exploring the Island and followed her secretly the many times she returned with Lyra. On the day the house burnt down the Scyther had finally worked up the courage to confront the child who happily, and innocently, welcomed the bug pokemon. It was will she was talking and playing (which is rather dangerous when the pokemon has two blades for arms) that the Scyther noticed the smoke and followed the girl when she ran towards it. He followed her and in the confusion of the day a police cop asked Charlie if the scyther was hers to which she answered, with no hesitation, yes. It was after she fled and caught the pidgey she realised he needed a name.
Dante is rather adamant to most beings which shows through in his fighting style but to the girl and her team mates he softens and allows himself to be pushed around, to a point by the other pokemon. He adores the Charlie and would lay his life down for her.
Species: Sandslash
Sex: Male
Ability: Sand Veil
Nature: Impish
Hold Item: Life Orb
Battle Style: Rather risky and will use any type of move. Egg move is Night Slash.
Athletic Stat: Power
Contest Stat: Cool
Location Caught: Route 11
Other Info:
Razeal was caught later like Palla but earlier than her. Charlie didn't have the time to consider keeping him because of a full team at the time and later replaced him in to the team during one of her sorting times (every so often she sorts the newly caught pokemon on the PC). His adorable sandshrew charm was the major player and he has managed to keep his spot after evolving due to his nature.
He unintentionally tends to raise the spirits of the team with his antics and only Lyra bests him when it comes to being devious. He tends to be a little rash in battle which he is learning to overcome with help from Dante.
Species: Jolteon
Sex: Male
Ability: Volt Absorb
Nature: Timid
Hold Item: Magnet
Battle Style: Aggressive use of moves. Prefers to paralyze and then attack.
Athletic Stat: Jump
Contest Stat: Tough
Location Caught: Gift
Other Info:
Karlja was added to the team while Charlie was a researcher for Team Rocket. He was previously owned by one of the grunts who had a habit of beating the poor jolteon and unluckily beat him once in the presence of Charlie. Angered by this she forced him to hand over the jolteon who entered the team as the last member.
He is rather timid, no doubt an effect of abuse from his previous owner, and can become aggressive around other pokemon and people from fear. He is trusting, if only just, of Charlie and Lyra but even then he harbours a deep mistrust. He prefers not to be the center of attention which Charlie is trying to turn around.
Her dagger has five circular holes in which all but Lyra's ball slide into. The dagger can then be hidden, with her pokemon, beneath her jacket.
The bag mainly carries the laptop, money, pen, pencils, sketch books and an assortment of berries. She has a habit of finding things in it she had forgotten.
She has a second bag for carrying the larger items, like her clothes, which takes the appearance of a black-grey duffel bag. This special bag is actually two bags clipped together that have a material peace connecting them when unclipped so it transforms into a pack bag for one of her pokemon to carry.
Personality (embellishing)
Outwardly she appears rather secretive, quiet, sophisticated and cold but a mischievous and intelligent glint is never gone from her eyes. Her history and scientist pride has taught her to share her knowledge but not herself leading to the anti-social behaviour she normally exhibits. This behaviour is normally shown as a tendency to spend a lot of time alone (or with pokemon) and speak little when in company (she does like to be silent a lot, even when walking so you never hear her coming). She has been raised well and is normally polite, friendly and generally well-mannered. Its hard to get on her bad side because she gives very little you can use against her but if you ever do end up on her bad-side, expect to be ignored and belittled (but this wont extend to your pokemon). Those who dont give her the respect she deserves may feel this temporarily until she gives up the grudge an hour or a day later.
Around close friends, and in unusually good moods, shell become talkative and show the underlying caring side that she possessed freely as a child. To this, she is a loyal and trustworthy, even if it is towards the wrong people, and displays an aristocrat amount of manners and behaviours only flawed by her normally cruel wit and unnoticeably annoying tongue. Be thankful that if you are one of those she prefers not to talk too even though shell be as polite as an angel to you because shell be analyzing you every movement for flaws. What is unusual is her outwardly affection for pokemon, even if she doesnt notice their trainers. She has a long history in pokemon handling and knows when to and not to approach a pokemon but you dont have to touch a pokemon to learn about it.
In battle, she tends to loosen up her colder side. Her words will flow smoother and sharper as she uses all her intelligence to belittle the opponent without loosing face. Her attacks are normally strong but few, preferring to wait out of reach until the right time to strike a hard blow, even if its the only one she places. Shes a strategist mostly unless she has all the cards and then shell hammer you. Just like outside a battle, she is constantly watching the situation for herself and her studies. When a battle turns away from her favor, she wont show it with her face but her words will become fewer and harsher. She will accept defeat humbly and politely as any good sportsman should but her wins will make her more arrogant.
History: In Short
Charlie had a normal beginning with a normal (if slightly richer) family. Her father was a doctor and her mother a nurse. Two years after Charlie's birth a sister soon followed and the daughters will educated in the arts and sciences, expected to take on a profession. They went through private, distance-education with a tutor and quickly became obvious in their academic talents but both the sister's hearts lay on different paths.
Unfortunately for the father, they lived on a farm and had frequent contact with pokemon though they were mostly pet or hobby pokemon. This background in pokemon and Charlie's natural curiosity led to her delving further into the sciences surrounding pokemon, particularly those of biology, in her spare time.
At age eleven, she began her journey, if with a rather bad beginning. Her mother was accepting of her choice of life but her father was angered that she would not become a doctor or an engineer. Leaving her family behind sooner than expected, she set out with her vulpix and scyther for Kanto where she planned on registering with Prof. Oak (rather a hero for her). As most beginnings went, she received a charamander and a pokedex before spending the next four-ish years mastering pokemon and returning to resume an apprenticeship at the lab, much to her fathers' pleasure.
Her apprenticeship saw her move throughout the regions once more, learning from various sources as she travelled. As she travelled she came into contact with Team Rocket more often and, before long, joined Team Rocket as a scientist. While she never showed her face or openly associated with Team Rocket her disappearance was noticeable from society in the four-bit years she worked there. She returned to society with a new partner, a nervous and aggressive jolteon, and continued her apprenticeship until she became a professor at 26.
Her relationship with Team Rocket since leaving has always been guarded. While she won't talk about it with anyone, she does not deny or defend her actions in joining, being to prideful to call herself disillusioned though she will admit the stupidity of the choice. Her loyal-nature means she won't reveal anything about Team Rocket, even if it means protecting them, and how she left so quietly has not yet been revealed.

Thanks, it's my first one but I was using GIMP and Adobe Flash CS5 at the same time (copy and pasting) as I was having some "issues" with flash. I've only had it for a few days.
About the coat, well, I was far too lazy at putting another button in and I haven't figured out who to make buttons click on and off with actionscript 3 yet. That's my next goal with flash and then I'm going to be getting the next and back arrows to work (for some odd reason it just doesn't want to work).

I don't post on the forums very often, but I feel like giving constructive feedback on the new map is important, so I'll try to give as articulate an opinion as I can. First the things I liked: Art: Needless to say, a graphical update from the old TT was a welcome change, As a 3D artist myself, I love the detail on the new foliage and monsters, especially vilemaw and his lair, which are positively gorgeous. The web pattern on the team base steps is also a nice touch, as it goes with the spider theme you chose, though it does contribute to the theme flaw, which is explained later in this post Items: One of the larger problems the old TT had was its strong preference for bruisers, fighters and other tanky DPS, while carries and particularly mages simply couldn't get the gold necessary to pick up the speed they needed until too late. Though the problem still isn't quite gone, the new items definitely help close the gap and are a major plus. Kudos, though some of the mage items might work a little too well depending on the champ. Layout: The old TT deffinitely stood up to its namesake. The routes in the jungle were so twisty and long that it would take far longer to reach someplace than necessary, and with the constant team fights each game that was not a good thing. The new layout is much more streamlined and navigable, and giving vilemaw some specific entrances gives it a more baron-fighting strategy, which I consider an improvement Now for the things I didn't like: Altars and Speed Shrine: I'm sure you've seen this one a lot. Capture points, though fun in dominion, as they're the point of the game, bring everything to a standstill here. More times than not were spent around the altars than in lanes or the jungle, and generally made the pace of the game feel much slower, even if the actual time that passed was pretty small. They simply tip the balance to the point where its impossible to ignore them, as opposed to an optional boon that can be gotten at the right time like monsters. If I wanted to capture points, I'd play dominion. Likewise, the speed shrine is just superfluous. the distance in the middle of the jungle is not that big an area to cross, and a speed shrine is just a redundancy. Neither of these things have a place in a "classic" game mode. Theme: As I mentioned above, the spider theme you folks went for is pretty cool...but I can't help but feel it misses the point. For a twisted treeline, the new map has a pretty distinct lack of trees. The best we have are a lot of dead logs, but even these aren't prominent enough to make you notice them. Also, I understand that you're excited for a new shadow isles champion, as am I. (Elise looks great and I look forward to playing her,) but I feel like you let her design sway the design of the map too much. This new map is on the shadow isles, a place where death, doom and metal are the main motifs, not just spiders. Vilemaw fills that quota wonderfully, and I don't think we need more than that. After all, Maokai had a lot of roots (no pun intended) in the old TT, but you never felt like it was HIS map. This new map just feels like Elise's. I'd recommend making the shadow isles part more prominent than just Elise's contribution. That's all for right now, but if I think of some other ideas or nitpicks, I'll add them here. Thanks for reading.
My thoughts....The new TT sucks DONKEY DICK, end of story.

Division Bench, consisting of the Hon'ble Acting Chief Justice and Hon'ble Mr. Justice Rajiv Sahai Endlaw of the High Court of Delhi, on a public interest litigation WP(C) 5324/2012 filed by an investor, have issued directions to the Reserve Bank of India and Securities & Exchange Board of India to investigate against real estate companies who are inviting booking of property from the public with assured returns. The Hon'ble High has also further issued directions to take further remedial steps not only in restraining inviting booking on assured returns but also to take other action as permissible under law as well. ORDER / 29.08.2012 1. This petition is filed in public interest. The petitioner has brought to the notice of this court that respondents no. 7 to 10, real estate development companies are inviting deposits from public with assured returns with buy back options. The submission is that the same amounts to banking activity within the meaning of Section 45-IA of the Reserve Bank of India Act, 1934 as applicable to non-banking financial corporations and is without the permission of the Reserve Bank of India as well as SEBI and cannot be undertaken by respondents no.7 to 10. It is further pleaded that not only are the said activity illegal but it is possible that small time investors having limited funds would be duped by such companies. W.P.(C)5324/2012 2. We find that the petitioner had sent a representation to the Reserve Bank of India and SEBI only on 10.7.2012. Learned counsel for SEBI has appeared on advance notice and has submitted that on the representation of the petitioner, action has been initiated and the matter is under investigation. He has produced copies of letter dated 06.08.2012 addressed to respondents no.7 to 10 asking them to submit required documents to take further action. 3. Since the matter is already under examination by the concerned authorities, it is not necessary to entertain this stage except for directing the RBI and SEBI to conduct and conclude the probe at the earliest and if it is found that respondent no.7 to 10 are not eligible to undertake such activities, take further remedial steps not only in restraining these respondents but also to take other actions as permissible under law as well. Petitioner shall be intimated about the outcome of the proceedings of the SEBI. In case the petitioner remains aggrieved by the action taken by the concerned authorities, he would be at liberty to approach the Court. With the aforesaid directions, the petition stands disposed of. |

Sierra Bancorp Announces Stock Repurchase Program
PORTERVILLE, Calif., Jan. 18, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Sierra Bancorp (Nasdaq:BSRR), parent of Bank of the Sierra, today announced that its Board of Directors has reactivated the Company's stock repurchase program and increased the number of shares authorized for repurchase to 700,000, or 5% of total issued and outstanding shares.
"Given our strong capital position and positive outlook, we feel that the time has come to recommence stock repurchase activities as a tax-efficient way to enhance shareholder value," commented James C. Holly, President and CEO. "We haven't repurchased any shares for the past few years due to economic uncertainties and the perceived need for capital preservation, but this decision to reinstitute the buyback program is indicative of our belief with regard to the true value of the Company and its future potential," concluded Holly.
The repurchase program is designed to improve the Company's return on equity and earnings per share, and should provide an additional outlet for shareholders interested in selling their shares. Repurchases will be made from time to time on the open market through one or more of the Company's market makers, and will be structured to conform to the safe harbor provisions of Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 10b-18. SEC Rule 10b-18 contains restrictions related to the price, timing, and volume of repurchases, among other things. Within those parameters, the Company can accept or reject any specific shares offered based upon market conditions and any other relevant considerations at the time. At management's discretion, the repurchase program may be discontinued at any time.
Sierra Bancorp is the holding company for Bank of the Sierra ( www.bankofthesierra.com), which is in its 36th year of operations and at $1.4 billion in assets is the largest independent bank headquartered in the South San Joaquin Valley. The Company has over 400 employees and conducts business through 25 branch offices, an online branch, a real estate industries center, an agricultural credit center, and an SBA center.
The statements contained in this release that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements based on management's current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effects on the Company. Readers are cautioned not to unduly rely on forward looking statements. Actual results may differ from those projected. These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties including but not limited to the bank's ability to maintain current dividend payments or increase dividend payouts to shareholder, its ability to continue to generate record financial results, changes in economic conditions, interest rates and loan portfolio performance, and other factors detailed in the Company's SEC filings. Sierra Bancorp undertakes no responsibility to update or revise any forward-looking statements. SOURCE Sierra BancorpCheck Out Our Best Services for Investors

Why use VARCHAR when you can use TEXT (PostgreSql, MySQL) (eflorenzano.com)
submitted 6 years ago by uggedal
[–]loverollercoaster 14 points15 points16 points 6 years ago* (2 children)
In MySQL, the indexing and searching characteristics are completely different between VC and TEXT.
Indexing a VC is significantly faster than indexing TEXT because you're reading in the index vs the whole row, and search is different because VC supports LIKE syntax (which is often lousy, the wildcard char especially can be tough), whereas TEXT uses MATCH AGAINST in boolean or natural modes, which can also provide a similarity score.
I believe there are also differences in Character set conversion methods, but i'm not 100% on that one.
In short, values consistently < 255 chars, use a varchar sized as small as possible (Who has a first name longer than 50 Characters?) Big blocks of text, advanced searching = TEXT, and a FULLTEXT index
edit I think in 5.0+ You can do VC's up to 65,000 characters, and maybe fulltext indexing on them as well. YMMV
[–]Entropy 1 point2 points3 points 6 years ago (0 children)
The presence of a text column will also force MySQL to use on-disk temp tables instead of in-memory ones.
[–][deleted] 10 points11 points12 points 6 years ago (1 child)
It depends on the implementation. In postgres, there's no speed penalty with TEXT, but postgres is the exception.
[–]Jessica_Henderson 1 point2 points3 points 6 years ago (0 children)
It's no so much that PostgreSQL is the exception, but rather that everyone else is doing it horribly wrong.
[–]jacques_chester 9 points10 points11 points 6 years ago (2 children)
Because you may actually want to limit the size of a field. VARCHAR buys the constraint and helps to indicate intention to the next programmer.
On MySQL/MyISAM, TEXT fields cause joins to be performed on-disk. Tables with TEXT fields cannot be used in the MySQL/Memory engine.
[–]eadmund 1 point2 points3 points 6 years ago (0 children)
On MySQL/MyISAM...
Here's a nickel, kid, buy a real database.
PostgreSQL is as free as MySQL, is higher-performance and actually does the right thing in almost all cases.
[–]sigzero 0 points1 point2 points 6 years ago (4 children)
A little off topic. I was on a project that used Oracle. EVERY field was a varchar AND space delimited. If you had a field with a length of 30 but the data was 5 characters long...25 extra spaces were added. I hate rtrim now.
[–]didroe 4 points5 points6 points 6 years ago* (1 child)
Are you sure they weren't CHARs instead of VARCHARs?
[–]bluetrust 1 point2 points3 points 6 years ago (0 children)
It would be hilarious if they were varchars.
[–]schlenk -1 points0 points1 point 6 years ago (0 children)
Could be worse, try with a database charset of AL32UTF8 and NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS=CHAR and watch Oracle at work, its hillarious.
[–]voxel 1 point2 points3 points 6 years ago (0 children)
Uhh, read the comments in your story, there are numerous reasons on why to use VARCHAR instead of TEXT.
[–]tjdziuba -3 points-2 points-1 points 6 years ago (4 children)
Um, because you can't index TEXT columns as they are?
[–]Jessica_Henderson 25 points26 points27 points 6 years ago (3 children)
That's not true for PostgreSQL. Microsoft SQL Server has absolutely terrible support for the TEXT datatype, and MySQL is only slightly better. Like you correctly point out, neither support indexes on TEXT fields, and with SQL Server you can't apply scalar functions to TEXT fields.
On PostgreSQL, VARCHAR is essentially an alias for TEXT. Creating indexes is not an issue, and there is no performance loss. PostgreSQL does it right.
[–]nO0b 19 points20 points21 points 6 years ago (0 children)
"PostgreSQL does it right" is usually the conclusion to all these types of threads...
[–]trezor2 1 point2 points3 points 6 years ago* (1 child)
SQL Server has terrible support for TEXT because it was deprecated for varchar(max) which size-wise gives you the benefits of TEXT while leaving you all the features and abilities you have with varchar columns.
You can also control the physical placement of such columns (in row, out of row etc).
Unlike MySQL there is next to no limitations on how this can be applied, indexed and used, and using it will not fuck up query-performance.
For the curious: The same applies to IMAGE. Use varbinary(max) instead.
SQL Server's VARCHAR(MAX) has a limit of 2,147,483,645 characters. So it isn't comparable to PostgreSQL's TEXT, which is only limited by the size of the user's storage space. It's pointless to have a size-limited VARCHAR(MAX), when PostgreSQL can bring all of the benefits of TEXT without the size limitations.
[–][deleted] -1 points0 points1 point 6 years ago (0 children)
Because Django automatically uses VARCHARs ;)
[–]Gotebe -1 points0 points1 point 6 years ago (0 children)
Why use a VARCHAR when you can use TEXT?
TEXT doesn't seem to be in SQL-92? ;-)

i can haz proof?
[–]pearcewg -2 points-1 points0 points 6 years ago (1 child)
varchar(max) baby, all the way! beats everything else.
Except it doesn't, when you need to exceed the limit. For Microsoft SQL Server, that's 231 - 1 characters. That's only 2 GB of non-UNICODE text. Now, with SQL Server you don't have much choice. But with PostgreSQL, for instance, TEXT doesn't have the indexing and related problems that SQL Server suffers from. So not only do you get performance that's unaffected, you also don't get stuck with rather arbitrary limits like those imposed by VARCHAR(MAX).

After seeing the product advertised in the paper I drove to the store and was prepared to purchase on the spot, but I was told it had not arrived at the store yet as this item was not one of Ganders usually stocked items. It had to be ordered on-line and was picked up within four days from the store.

Need new board and suggestions!
I've ridden a Burton Bullet 160 for the last couple of years that was given to me with custom bindings. I wanna get a new board thats not mentally expensive, any suggestions? I'm about 5'10" with size 43 (UK 9) feet, I wanna board just for freeriding thats got a bit of flex to it and am considering going down to 158 or something as the Bullet has always felt too big and heavy for me. Basically I just need something thats got a really quick response and feels more agile than the bullet. Also need new bindings, nothing flash, I kinda like basic bindings. I've got these Burton Customs with the toe straps at the mo and I hate them!!! Anyway any help would be much appreciated! Cheers S |

CREATE TABLE DynamicAssociation( AssociationID uniqueidentifier default(NewID()), RoleName varchar(255) not null, ParentTable varchar(255) not null, DependantTable varchar(255) not null, ParentID uniqueidentifier not null, DependantID uniqueidentifier not null, primary key (AssociationID) )You can also normalize out the RoleName, ParentTable, and DependantTable columns into another AssociationRole table (where you can also add multiplicity rules etc). What this allows you to do is add new relationships to your logical data model, without causing DDL changes in the underlying database, which can really come in handy sometimes. For example, if you suddenly decide that you now need a new relationship where Customers (ParentTable) have a "Secondary Contact" (RoleName) in Contacts (DependantTable). To establish the relationship, you dont have to change a single table structure, you just have to add a new row in the DynamicAssociation table (and possibly AssociationRole) to descrube the relationship. Of course, the downside to this technique is that querying that information back out becomes more complicated, since you now have to join the Customers and Contacts table "through" the DynamicAssociation table. The performance cost of this complex join is also not as bad as you might suspect, assuming good indexes are created on the association table. 3. IRL somewhat alleviates the hotspot, but does not solve the core problem that all inserts are happening in the exact same page of the table storage. IRL only protects a page thats not being split... if it needs to be split, then page locks are aquired for the split process (splits are fairly rough btw - in high-volume systems they need to be reduced as much as possible). Also, if you are inserting more than one row, the row lock can get escalated to a page lock anyways pretty quickly. And lastly, row locks arent exactly the "cat's meow"... just like any other lock in the server, they require resources, force serialization of requests, and basically just slow things down a little. So basically, my opinion is that for most cases, I use the uniqueidentifier. The cost is really pretty minor in exchange for the many other benefits possible. 4. I have not seen the post this came from, however.... from BOL: "An explicit ORDER BY clause for a SELECT statement is required to ensure any useful ordering of data. In addition, the exact results depend upon the collation being used. Expect different results as compared to earlier versions of SQL Server. Add an explicit ORDER BY clause to all SELECT statements needing to produce ordered rows." In SQL Server 6.5 and prior, you would ALWAYS get rows (if not ORDER BY was specified) based on the physical ordering in the table pages. In other words, the default order was by the Clustered index of the table (a clustered index defines the physical ordering on disk). I think this behavior may have even been stated in the 6.5 BOL. In SQL 7.0 and higher, this was changed. It still *usually* returns records by default in the order specified in any Clustered index, however this is not at all guaranteed anymore. SQL 7 added the ability to have parallel threads reading a table to solve a query, and these threads read from different segments, so without a defined output sorting order, they are returned in whatever order they happened to have been read. I think there also may be other issues in the new engine that can contribute to this too. Bottom line on this one: If you want your data in any particular order, you MUST specify an ORDER BY clause (GROUP BY does not count either, I have seen that question come up before too).

First on the performance and space issues -- You should be so lucky that your app is used so heavily that it ever makes a real difference. For thousands upon thousands of real-world business apps, it will never make a difference that any user would notice. If it does, then you probably have the money to fine tune it, buy new hardware, and whatever else.
Second, the biggest advantage I see is architectural. For example, I can build things like discussion modules. The discussion module simply inserts into any other application and will handle all the back end and front end required to attach a discussion forum to anything. All you need to do is pass it the identifier of the thing you want to discuss. If you use ints, then you have to pass it an int plus a table name of where the int came from. If you use GUIDS, then you just pass it the GUID for the parent record and it easily attachs a discussion to literally anything in the database. Because the discussion module uses GUIDS itself, you can attach discussions to discussions.
This is also important in things like knowledgebases where there isn't a clear match between certain things. Consider this question: Sterling Silver, Packard Automobile, Ingrid Bergman, Moon Shadow, and Chrysler Imperial. Pick the item that does not go with the rest of the list.
The correct answer is "Packard Automobile". All the rest are names of varieties of roses. Of course, there is no way that anyone constructing a database would possibly think up front that there might be a link between all these names. If you try to represent such a random network of meaning with ints you will quickly find that it is pretty difficult. GUIDs make it all possible.

MLB News: The Colorado Rockies have placed first baseman Todd Helton on the disabled list with inflammation in his left forearm and will be replaced on the active roster with Ryan Wheeler. He offers another body to platoon at first base.
Fantasy Ramifications: Considering that he is not guaranteed any playing time his fantasy value is minimal at best. Perhaps a option in National League only leagues, but that is only if he gets a solid turn of at-bats.
