Re: GRID

I am saying that pretty much all the added cost functionality of Grid just exposes stuff that is already added cost, and of course that most people that whinge about the GC *cost* don't also whinge about not being allowed to run sql statements against the same views from their own scripts. But emailing an alert to you so you know it happens is added cost, but I don't see *why* it should be given that database email is even part of XE.

Brandon's approach of course has the advantage of working when the db is down.
