Good to hear from you. I thought at some point I would expand the “blah, blah, blah” part, but so far I haven’t had the time.

I am glad I got to work for you during the period described as blah, blah, blah. I learned a great deal from you and others at your company and thank you for the opportunity. I stumbled across this blog while researching log file sync waits. Glad to see you still love the technical work.

Thanks for your comments. I try to provide links in the text to non-trivial scripts, but occasionally miss one. Sometime I just turn echo on in the examples so you can see the text. But many times I don’t because the scripts are often pretty ugly and that makes it a little harder to follow. Fortunately, the search feature finds the references in the text that link to the scripts so it’s easy to see if I posted the script in a previous article (by searching for find_sql.sql for example). You can also search for a string like “@find_sql” to see if I may have run it in an example with echo on. But sadly there are just some that aren’t there. I am planning to add a page listing scripts I’ve used soon so they will be a little better organized. I’m interested in where you came across the ones you listed though as I can’t find reference to any of them except the trace_on.sql which I used in my last post. (I’ve modified that post to rectify the problem now by the way) The other scripts you mention are ones that I use so I’m assuming you must have found reference to them in a presentation or white paper. At any rate, watch for the scripts page which will be forth coming and thanks again for the comments.
