SSRS 2008 Report Parameters Ordering
Posted on January 14, 2009 | 4 CommentsYes, okay, call me a dolt for having to take five minutes to find this but I've seen this question asked so many places I figured I'd throw it up here.

Jason Massie has called me a many other out on this recent post. Ha! :) Of course looks like Chris Shaw was the real instigator.
So, he wants us each to share a stupid mistake we've made regarding our roles as DBA's. For myself, I certainly use the term DBA very lightly. Anyhow, that post got me thinking, what was the biggest stupid mistake I'd made over so many years working with DB's that others could learn from?
