ASP Show Update Progress

Just to remind myself: To properly show an UpdateProgress, we need
1. asp:ScriptManager
2. asp:UpdateProgress + asp:UpdatePanel work together

Example like this.http://ajax.net-tutorials.com/controls/updateprogress-control/

SQL Server 2005 Frustration

Yes, MS SQL server takes character cases casually -- 'Everything' = 'eVERYthING'
Yes, MS SQL server are not friendly to empty string -- LEN('') = 1
But this is ridiculous: The following statements returns true.
  • LEN('TEST      ') = 4
  • 'TEST      ' = 'Test'
