April 30 Morning Update

I’m feeling quite good this morning.

I am running a duplicate customer merge on my client’s computer this weekend. He had about 4,000 customers that were in his database more than once. I started the merge yesterday about 11:00 am. It was still running this morning.

I was starting to get uneasy as I needed to have that process done so he can use the system first thing Monday morning.

In an effort to speed things up, I changed the Recovery Method in SQL from full to simple. Then I created a Crystal report to see if a customer was in the database. Since I had the list of customers to merge I went down the list to see if a customer had been merged. It looked like the process was very close to being finished.

Then just to be sure I hadn’t messed anything up, I checked the merge process and it was done! Whew! I called the client at home and told him it was done. I’ll be seeing him tomorrow morning.

Now I’m off to church with the Vorlon Wife.
