Precisely.
In our environment, great care is taken with adding/modifying data. But when it comes to reporting, there's no standardization of products or concern about what's being reported. The DBA's find out about a bad query when it hits the "this sql really sucks" list (or when the whining starts).

You'd think damagement would learn. It's more than just concerns about performance issues. Wouldn't you think damagement would care about the accuracy of data being reported??

I'm really starting to warm up to the configurable version of the sending rasberries product. When is that going to be available??
